“I can't stand the pressure and competition，” explained one friend of mine when asked why he decided to quit his highly-paid but demanding position in his company recently. My friend may have his own reasons， but I don't think his decision is wise in reality.
It's true that my friend's case is not unique. In the last few years quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive at the cost of a comfortable， easy life a highly-paid job can obtain. They are afraid that the stresses and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally. In fact， however， stress isn't the bad thing it is often supposed to be. Unless it gets out of control， a certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge， and to give purpose and significance to an otherwise meaningless， idle life. People under stress tend to express their full range of potential and to actualize their own personal worth——the very aim of a human life.
Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. What we can do is to develop our adaptive abilities to deal with it rather than to escape from it.
“我不能忍受壓力和競爭，”我的一個朋友解釋說，當他問他為什么決定放棄他的高薪，但要求在他的公司最近的位置。我的朋友可能有他自己的理由，但我認為他的決定是不明智的。
這是真的，我的朋友的情況下是不是唯一的。在過去的幾年中，相當多的男性和女性都選擇了做一些不太有競爭力的成本，一個舒適，輕松的生活，一個高薪工作可以獲得。他們害怕工作的壓力和緊張，會剝奪他們的快樂和幸福，同時也會傷害身體和精神上的傷害。然而事實上，壓力并不是一件壞事，它通常被認為是。除非它失去控制，一定量的壓力是至關重要的，以提供動力和挑戰，并賦予目的和意義，否則毫無意義，空閑的生活。處于壓力之下的人們往往表達自己的潛能，實現自己的個人價值，是人類生活的目標。
壓力是日常生活中很自然的一部分，沒有辦法避免它。我們所能做的就是培養我們的適應能力來處理它，而不是逃避它。
