My seven-year old son Nathan suddenly asked me a question the other day, "Mom, why are you working so hard?"

I answered immediately without thinking, "Because I want us to have a better life."

Nathan said, "But our life is already perfect."

Nathan's remark made me thinking, "If only I could look at the world as how the kids do, I would be much happier."

Good point.

Although adults take lots of responsibilities which might be burdens of their lives, the perpective of the child is still informing.

不尽然。其实奋斗是奋斗，快乐是快乐。上进心，也是正常人内化于心的一种本质性的东西。

当我吃完饭摸着自己涨得圆鼓鼓的肚子时，我会说生活真美好

生活美好就是一种满足感
