　　On Stress 面对压力

　　With the fast pace of modern life, more and more people are living under great pressure.

　　Some people are afraid of pressure. They think that the stresses and strains of work deprive them of joy and happiness. In their view, stress does harm to them both physically and mentally. That is why they prefer something less competitive and strenuous to something more demanding and challenging.

　　Others argue that stress isn't as bad as it often supposed to be. Unless it is overwhelming, a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and stimulation. Without stress, you may slack off and idle away your time. It gives purpose and meaning to an otherwise meaningless, dull life. People under stress tend to bring their potential into full play and to realize their goals.

　　In my opinion, we shouldn't escape from stress but to face it as it is. What we can do is to adapt to the stress and to profit from it rather than to avoid it.

　　On disasters 面对灾难

　　As we all know, one’s life is full of unexpected events, some of which are wonderful and some of which are disastrous. Those heavy blows, such as, floods, snowstorms, and earthquakes, threaten to weigh one down.

　　However, it’s even worse if one can’t drag himself out of the grief in that break-down in the sprit is more serious than the disaster itself. Instead of indulging oneself in sadness, one should be positive of life and contribute to the reconstruction of the hometown.

　　As to me, if I am not the victim of a disaster, I will try my best to help those who are suffering by donation blood or money. If I am a victim, I will try my best to recover from the sadness as soon as possible and try to be strong and supportive to the recovery work..
