How to live my life?

Mr. Ng told us that people in Hawaii enjoyed their life every day. They liked singing and dancing. Nothing will worry them at all. If they are hungry, they will go fishing. They can eat by themselves or sell them to earn money. They will be satisfied if they can sell all the fish instead of thinking sell more.
I think this is the life I really want. Now people in the cities are all busy earning money. Making more money and buying houses and cars, and then continue to make money. People are living between earning and buying. There are no differences between human beings and robots. Especially in China, everyone wants to earn more and more money, but forget what life should be. They don’t know that there is something else apart from making money. We should enjoy our lives. For example we can spend more time with people we love. Lie on the beach and be showered with the sunshine. Sit under the tree and drink tea with your father talking about the same interesting topic etc.
I have heard a joke. A Chinese woman said before she died:“I saved enough money to buy a house eventually.” Another American woman said:“I pay off the loan of the property eventually.” The Chinese woman didn’t have a comfortable life, but busy earning money. Though she could afford the house, she couldn’t understand the essence of life.
So we should learn from the people in Hawaii. Try to get out of the pressure of life. Go and enjoy the life with anyone you want.

  1. Everyone has a dream. I think your dream is living a enjoyable life like the people in Hawaii. However, it's a turth that a lot of us dream to earn much money in the future. It's hard for me to tell whith one is better if I must choose one. Life is just like a puzzle. You can never understand it clearly. The time you make it clear what you want may always be too late. So, it's really lucky for you to know what a life you want to live. I don't konw. I'm still exploring the long roadin the puzzle of life.
    what's more, I think no one but theirselves can tell which womam lives happier. The chinese woman doesn't have a big house, but there is no stress of returning the loan as well. both of them may be busy earning money. So, where's the diffence?

  2. People in Hawaii lead a totally different way of live. It’s true that sailing, fishing, sunbathing and always enjoying themselves are relaxing and comfortable, but if we have positive attitudes towards live and work, don’t care too much about money and make full use of our weekends and vacations we can still be happy and enjoy our live.
    To some people, having big houses and limousines and being successful in their career is what they wish in life, so they have positive attitudes to work. They feel happy and worthwhile to work very hard and earn much money. We can’t say they are not as happy as people in Hawaii.
    So no matter what kind of live we are leading, be positive and enjoy it.

  3. I always believe in living a balanced life. You need to know what is important in your life and go for it. However, what you consider important varies as you go through life's journey. As long as you remain anchored in your own values and continue to contribute to society, you should not be far away from achieving a balanced life.
