Original

I do think it’s good, I think people should have time to enjoy other things such as with family or with our children with our parents, I think we should depart working and life. I can go to home on time almost 7 o’clock. Smart – you must think that other one can’t think – and you can help the opportunity and I think lucky is just almost 20%. Smart 55%. Will be too little for hard work.

I think money is important. I think recently money is one of my biggest motivates to work because I prefer to go shopping and vacation more than working – if I have enough money maybe I can choose anything I like – not work / I prefer doing what I want to working at a job. I want my job to be my passion but it’s hard to have a job and like it too / like it as well.

Always speak in complete sentences (repeat the question back to me in the form of a sentence).
