there are so many things or desires that the man has to bear or to seek. And it is like him that almost every one of us feels exhausted. Every day we jump out of bed with the earsplitting ring of the alarm clock, swallow a quick breakfast and then rush to catch the bus. When arriving at the workplace, we have to work every minute to its full value until we drag home and throw ourselves deep into the sofa. The fast pace of modem life do bring us great pressure.
The first stress-maker is competition. Nowadays, many people, the strongly career minded ones in particular, are involved in a fierce competition for money, ranks, and fame. In the rat race, they try every means to stay on the top, and the fear to lose the game inevitably wrecks their peace of mind. The second, a reason closely related to the first one, is unhappy interpersonal relationships. Some people are so stupid at people skills that they always feel ill at ease when working with others. As a result, they cant make themselves part of a group, and the loneliness greatly distress them.
How can we adapt ourselves to the stress then? Above all, we should develop a positive attitude towards competition. That is, competition is not the ultimate goal of life, but a driving force that motivates us to fulfill our dreams and to realize our personal values. On the other hand, it is demanding for us to keep people aware of the importance of developing a schedule which includes enough time for rest and other important values.
