In our daily life we are used to hearing these words “I can’t wait for my holiday” “I wish could stay home
today” and “I’m very tired”. These words come from pressure at work. Now the “iron rice bowl” is being broken

pleasure from their work. For most of the workers, work is just a way of earning money. It appears to be

of pressure can provide challenge and chance for learning. To a modern man who is worried and low in spirit,
