What is the key to a work-life balance?
No pains, no gains. Everyone heard from his or her teachers and parents in the childhood. But no one tell us how to have a rest. Modern society around the world have more competition every moment to gain much opportunity. The social phenomenon make more people in cities get emotional problems and physical problems.

When I was in early twenties, I worked every day. If I had free time, I would have part-time job. Even though the work environment was not good or having bosses in bad temper, I still went to work. The result made me in poor health, and I have to visit doctors frequently.

Because of this situation, my work schedule is arranged by my health. Generally, in normal workday I have to work. But it has flextime to arrange some random problem. If one day has more things have to carry out, I will work overtime. However, working overtime must not be normalcy.

To have a better balance life, I prefer having some interests and habits, like learning, reading, sports and social life. Having these extra activities can help one’s faith and emotion to keep their work and life.

What is the key to a work-life balance?
No pain, no gain. Everyone has heard from his or her teachers and parents in their childhood. But no one tell us how to have a rest. In modern society you have to win the competition to have an opportunity to succeed worldwide. This social phenomenon causes more people in cities to have emotional and physical problems.

When I was in my early twenties, I worked every day. If I had free time, I would have another part-time job. Even though the work environment was not good/work conditions were not good  such as having bosses with a bad temper, I still went to work. The stress was a burden to my poor health, and I had to visit doctors frequently.

Because of this situation, my work schedule is determined by my health. Generally, on regular workdays, I have to work. But, I still have some time available to sort some issues out. I will work overtime if I have lots of work/things to do on some days. However, working overtime must not be normalcy.

To have a better balance life, I prefer having some interests and habits, like learning, reading, sports and social life. Having these extra activities can help one’s faith and emotion to go further in life.
