The Value of Work

When it comes to the topic “What’s the value of work?”, different people hold different points of view.
當人們談論到“工作的價值是什么”這個話題時，不同的人有不同的觀點。

A group of people think that work is just a method for living. They hope that they could spend as little as possible to earn as much money as possible. The more money they make and the less time they spend, the more value the work has. Put that in another way, the value of work is measured in terms of money.一些人認為，工作只是生存的一種手段。他們希望盡可能少花費去賺取更多的錢。花越少的精力和時間賺到越多的錢，工作就越有價值。換個說法，工作的價值是用金錢衡量的。

Some think that we should work for our dreams. We do the job just because we love it. Focusing time and energy on what we love makes us fulfilling. The purpose for which we work should be making contribution to society’s development and at the same time improving ourselves.另一些人則認為，我們應該為理想而工作。我們因為喜歡而做一項工作。把時間和精力放在我們喜歡的事情上讓我們感到充實。我們工作的目的應該是在為社會發展做貢獻的同時提高自我。

In my opinion, I agree that work is equipment. But that’s not all work of value. When choosing work, we should measure the reward and our dream. I am sure that people would put more efforts into the things they like, and someday they will get anything they deserve in return. And that’s the value of work in my mind.在我看來，我同意工作是生存的一種手段這一說法。但是，那并不是工作的全部價值。在選擇工作的時候，我們應該權衡好回報和個人理想。我堅信,人們對于自己喜歡的事會付出更多的努力，而總有一天，他們會得到應有的回報。那才是我心目中工作的價值。
