usually i work over time .i often stay in the office for more than 10 hours . it is not my boss force me but i am willing to finish all work on my plan. i think, if possible ,work hard ,work over time it is the right things as a young person. if you spend much time on enjoying life , what is your life goal?

I used to regularly work overtime when I was younger. As you get older you realise that there is much, much, much more to life than working. Some (including me) would say that enjoying life is an admirable goal.

it seems that you are regret of working hard when you were younger, is that right? i couldn't have the same thinking as you now. maybe the cultures are total different ,as younger person, we want to succeed in what we have done. so we would rather work harder and harder.

@Susu1121 It depends upon what you consider 'success'. To me success is being happy and having time to spend with my friends and family. I don't regret working hard when I was young but, if I had my life over again, I probably wouldn't work so hard. I missed out on a lot of fun when I was working very long hours. As you get older you realise it's the fun times that make your memories not the long hours you spent at work making money for a faceless corporation.

@WorDazza perhaps it is truth, i work hard but when i off work from our office ,i would enjoy the time with my family.i could accompany with my son as he grow up, i could accompany with my parents as the get older. that is enough .

I don't mind working overtime, but I prefer not to do it. I am a teacher and I have to work overtime all the time. It's okay if I'm overtiming for my students because I want them to succeed. But sometimes I get calls to go to other schools to help other students. That makes me uncomfortable. If I had to work overtime, I would much prefer to help my own students and not other students.

@Susu1121 Thanks. I love my students so I work hard for them. I just don't want to be forced to work overtime for other students when I know I could be helping my own.

Mmmh that is nice of you. Not many young people can be left in the office. Many wish they could get out earlier than usual

I don't like over time work. When I was single, I felt so sad since I went to the office when it was sunny outside but it was dark when I went off work. I felt like my wonderful time spent in the work. I also need a break but it was already at night after work. Now I am married and have a child and I especially enjoy family life. It is much more important for me to spend more time with my family than work. They are the most importance for me.

I don't mind working over time as I want to keep busy myself always.
