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 permanent 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.

理想的生活是許多人想要追求的，但很少有人能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)。夢想與現(xiàn)實之間的平衡很難被跨越。很多人在選擇職業(yè)的時候希望它能給自己帶來財富和成功。然而，他們在選擇的領(lǐng)域工作了幾年后，便開始痛恨自己的工作。這主要是因為他們在追求成功的同時，忽略了生活的其他部分。這些人把自己的生活投入到工作之中，無法從工作中分身。他們認為那可能還不夠。有些人的工作甚至使自己的原則和情感健康受到不忠或糟糕工作環(huán)境的挑戰(zhàn)。這些人可能開始被自己工作的環(huán)境所影響，繼而引發(fā)個人問題或健康問題。然而這種選擇并非是永久的狀況，因為許多人已經(jīng)選擇改變自己的生活價值。有許多不同的道路可供他們選擇。例如，他們可以重回學(xué)校，學(xué)習(xí)他們感興趣的東西，而不考慮這會給他們帶來多少金錢。這并非是不可能的，因為活到老學(xué)到老。其他人可能尋求與朋友、親戚和那些真正愛自己的人更好的關(guān)系。這些都是通向理想生活的最佳道路，因為這些目標(biāo)會給予我們每個人更加充實的生活以及理想的人生。
