【參考範文】
Is Stress a Bad Thing?
(In the past few years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to do something less competitive.) They are afraid that the stress and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally.
(In fact, however, stress is not a bad thing that is often supposed to be.) Above all, 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 and idle life. Furthermore, 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.
