2011年考研英語：生活的意義

　　What is life about？ We push very hard everyday to make more money， to gain power and recognition.

　　We neglect our health， time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look back， we will realize that we don't really need that much， but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.

　　Life is not about making money， acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work！ Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life.

　　Life is a balance of work and play， family and personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your life.Define your priorities， realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts.

　　Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life，the whole aim of human existence. So， take it easy， do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile. Life is short. Do not take life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life！
