【工作类】人们难以平衡生活和事业的原因和解决策略
Currently，many people fail to balance the work with the other parts of lives, what are the reasons and how to solve it? 现在，一些人难以平衡工作和生活的其他部分，原因何在，如何解决?(2012年3月8日)
【头脑风暴】
“我只想按照自己内心的想法去生活，为何这也如此艰难? ”有时候，我们想要上升，却又缺乏力量，我们想要后退，又不甘心，欲求而不得的焦躁，正是人生的困顿所在。“吾欲乎遑遑欲何之。”我的心啊，你为何如此不安宁，我的人生，你到底要走向哪里?只是，无论生活如何困顿、迷茫，只要我们还在为梦想奋力的路上，明天的太阳就一定是美丽的。
【写作目的】本篇将会探究下人们未能处理家庭和生活矛盾的原因，再提出解决策略。
【思路拓展】
人们难以平衡工作和生活的原因解读：
①现代人对于生活的欲求更多，人，若想专业上脱颖而出，事业上高歌猛进，就要比常人努力，因此，一个人在工作中花费的时间越多，一个可以分配给家庭生活、健康管理和个人爱好的时间就越少。
②工作狂的现象可以被归结为工作的压力和竞争的激烈，多数情况下，人想要事业中出类拔萃，就要奋发图强，因此，很多职场新人只能全心工作。
人们努力平衡工作和生活的解决策略：
① 企业应帮助职员缓压，建立理性的工作制，提倡健康的工作方式，毕竟，无论工作学习，勤奋高效才是我们应努力追求的。
② 对于个人而言，我们应该转变心态，事业的成功不是人生唯一目的，努力工作是为了去创造和享受美好人生， 但是，工作不应成为负累。无论多忙，人应牢记：家庭生活和健康管理也是重要的，我们不该把没有完成的工作带回家，也应规律运动、发展爱好、拓宽交友圈。
