Work as a Part of Life

Some people regard work as the goal of life and spare no pains to pursue⁴ a fulfilling⁵ career. Others regard work as a means to achieve the value of life, emphasizing⁶ the meaning and significance of life itself. I think work is just a part of one’s life. To work means to live, and to live must involves work.

First, when one works⁷, he also lives. There is not a period of time when one is only working but not living. Therefore when one works hard and feels happy about his achievements, he is also living fruitfully⁸. There is no need to say that he just "lives to work". Second, it is impossible to imagine a life without work. Marx once said that work is the basic need of the human race. Work is not only a breadwinning process, but is also a process of exploring the unknown world, creating beauty, providing help, expressing love, friendship and care. Anyone would hate a life without work, and I think only those who work well enjoy their life best.　　To conclude, I am firmly convinced’ that work is a part of life. So enjoy your work, for when you make progress and have fun in your work, you are also enjoying your life.
