WORK-LIFE Balance 生活与工作的平衡

“WORK-LIFE Balance" a very commonly heard phrase mentioned by various leaders of the community recently. My work gave me the privilege to interact with people from all wards of life. Often do I have come across people who have to work very very hard, more than 12 hours a day, struggling just to earn enough for their family, living from day to day.
I couldn't help but noticed that people that keep telling me about "work-life balance" mostly come from the fortunate ones that either never have to worry about money because they were born rich, or the luckier ones that somehow have made it in life but have long forgotten their struggling days. I would like to appeal to them to be more sensitive. If you really have too much money and unbalance with too much time as well, do some volunteer work to help the less fortunate among us ..
“生活与工作的平衡” 是我们最近常听到的课题。我偶尔会遇到为生活劳碌,只为三餐温饱而得每天工作超过12个甚至16个小时的人。他们的挣扎和痛苦绝不是那些吃的太饱,太好,整天想着怎样“平衡”多余的时间的人所能体会和理解的。或许后者可以少说些废话,多做些义工,帮助身边比较不幸的一群
Lastly, to share some of the niceflowers in my neighborhood.
与大家分享邻里一些美丽的花卉。。
