29、 Editors note: Whether people are overworked recently made headlines when several internet company bosses said the only way for employees to achieve success is through harder work and longer hours. Forum readers share their opinions.
Cecilia
Working too many hours only means you arc time-wasting and inefficient(低效的).This means it takes you longer to produce something than someone else.
A good manager knows how to encourage his employees to work in their full ability instead of expecting them to work late even if they don't have something to do. People who stay in their office until late hate their jobs and it affects their performance, as well as other ways of their life.
Rosemary
Overworking is just modem slavery. In many countries, overworking would be attacked because it shows poor work performance, and the boss would prefer you work in a better way 7 hours and then go back home than 8 hours with poor performance.
Nervy Nowadays, it’s hard for a young person to build a good future, for pressures are on his or her shoulders: housing, children, parents, themselves, etc. But everyone must keep working hard to have them on the way to the good future, which is not certain. What’s sure is that if you're lazy and don’t work hard, no good future will come.
Sunny
I don't think anyone wants to work overtime The fact is the competition is so extreme if you don’t work hard someone will easily and willingly replace you, especially in the IT industry. Employees are told they need to work longer hours or they won't get raised. It is time to give up the culture of overworking.

The Best Nourishment(营养)of Life
Andrew almost thought of himself as the most unfortunate child in the world because a disease in his childhood made his leg lame(瘸的)and his teeth uneven. He was always afraid of being looked down upon. Therefore, he seldom played with his classmates. When the teacher asked him to answer questions, he always lowered his head without a word, except in biology class, which was his favorite subject.
One spring, his Dad brought home a box of flower sprouts(花苗), such as roses and carnations(康乃馨). He wanted to have them planted in front of the house. He asked each child to choose one, “I will give you a month to raise the flowers. Then I will see whose flower grows best. The winner will be bought a favorite gift.” Andrew was always longing for DK Children’s Encyclopedia(百科全书). At Dad’s words, he was especially pleased. He chose a red rose. In the following days, he, together with his brother and sister, was busy watering, feeding and tending the flower sprouts carefully. But to his sorrow, his rose sprout didn’t grow as strong as his brother’s and sister’s. Instead, it bent towards the ground and turned yellow and then brown. Obviously, it was dying. “Just my luck. As terrible as I am.”he sighed and left disappointedly, determined not to attend to it at all.
Unexpectedly, he happened to pass the flower a few days later and was surprised to find it didn’t wilt(枯萎)but grew some fresh leaves instead. Compared with the flowers of his brother and sister, his appeared greener and more lively. For the first time, he thought good luck favored him.
That night, lying on the bed, he suddenly recalled the biology teacher once said that plants generally grow at night. “Why not go to see the flower?” he thought.
