The ideal life is one that many people would like to pursue, yet few achieve. The balance between dreams and reality is one that is difficult to overcome. Many people choose a vocation in the hopes that it would bring them wealth and success. However, after years of labor in their chosen field, they begin to hate their jobs. This is mainly because they have neglected other parts of their lives in search of this success. These people devote their lives to working and are unable to separate themselves from their work. They find that it may not be enough. Some have jobs where their principles and emotional health are challenged by dishonesty or bad work environments. These people can begin to become influenced by the environment in which they work, leading to personal or health problems. This choice is not a pemp3anent situation, however, as many people have chosen to change the values of their lives. There are many different paths open to them. For example, they could go back to school to study something they enjoy, instead of for how much money it can bring. This is not impossible as you are never too old to study. Other people may look for more fulfilling relationships with their friends, relatives, or those who truly love them. Each or these is an excellent path for an ideal life as these goals will give each of us a much fuller life as well as an ideal one.

理想的生活是许多人想要追求的,但很少有人能够实现。梦想与现实之间的平衡很难被跨越。很多人在选择职业的时候希望它能给自己带来财富和成功。然而,他们在选择的领域工作了几年后,便开始痛恨自己的工作。这主要是因为他们在追求成功的同时,忽略了生活的其他部分。这些人把自己的生活投入到工作之中,无法从工作中分身。他们认为那可能还不够。有些人的工作甚至使自己的原则和情感健康受到不忠或糟糕工作环境的挑战。这些人可能开始被自己工作的环境所影响,继而引发个人问题或健康问题。然而这种选择并非是永久的状况,因为许多人已经选择改变自己的生活价值。有许多不同的道路可供他们选择。例如,他们可以重回学校,学习他们感兴趣的东西,而不考虑这会给他们带来多少金钱。这并非是不可能的,因为活到老学到老。其他人可能寻求与朋友、亲戚和那些真正爱自己的人更好的关系。这些都是通向理想生活的最佳道路,因为这些目标会给予我们每个人更加充实的生活以及理想的人生。
