1.【案例题】

     Ron was an engineer. He planned a change and tried the new job of teaching kids how to swim.  Ron's easy manner soon made him a full-time employee at the swim school.

     Now, the 40 hours he works a week takes in weekends, early mornings and late afternoons. He earns around 25% less than he did in engineering. But, at 49, he says he has never been happier. "I've had a drop in pay, but I've cut back on spending, too. I seldom drive to work so don' t have to pay as much for petrol (汽油).I don't drink as much. I go walking in my lunch break and I've lost 20 kilos. I love going to work. The whole family is a lot happier. "

    When one of his brothers called, offering to help him find "a real job", he answered, "I don't care. I know what I' m doing is good. "

     He  admits it was fearful making such a big change when there was the mortgage  (分期付款) to pay and kids to clothe and feed, but in the end he feels it is a simple choice. "If you're in a job you don't like, get out.  Money's not everything. If you don't like it, change-find something you're going to be happy with. "
