" I can‘t tand the preure and competition," explained one friend of mine when aked why he decided to quit hi highly-paid but demanding poition in hi company recently. My friend may have hi own reaon, but I don‘t think hi deciion i wie in reality.
It i true that my friend‘ cae i not unique. In the lat few year quite a number of men and women have choen to do omething le competitive at the cot of a comfortable, eay life a highly-paid job can obtain. They are afraid that the tree and train of work will rob them of joy and happine and do them harm both phyically and mentally. In fact, however, tre in‘t the bad thing it i often uppoed to be. Unle it get out of control, a certain amount of tre i vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give purpoe and ignificance to an otherwie meaningle, idle life. People under tre tend to expre their full range of potential and to actualize their own peronal worth - the very aim of a human life.
Stre i a natural part of everyday life and there i no way to avoid it. What we can do i to develop our adaptive abilitie to deal with it rather than to ecape from it.
