Although the salary was of the ordinary, she liked her job and worked so successfully that in only one year’s time after her graduation from college. She not only won a prize for excellence in teaching, but also enjoyed wide popularity among her students. In her second teaching year, however, she met a millionaire and got married; and went to live in Hong Kong with her husband. There she led a very comfortable and easy life, spending most of her days doing shopping and going traveling. After one year of endless vacation, though, she began to miss her work and asked for return to her teaching position. “I’m so tired of this kind of life,” she explained in her letter to the school she had previously worked for, “that I miss more than ever the days with my students.” So what do you think of it?
