原文
Doctor Gupta:
Next week we’ll be talking about factors that contribute to human happiness. Surveys reveal that career satisfaction and the quality of personal relationships, such as with family and friends, are frequently identified as two important factors for happiness. Which of these two factors—career or relationships—do you think most people would say has the greater impact on their overall happiness, and why?
Claire:
I believe that one’s career has a larger impact on overall happiness. It’s through people’s jobs that they make a contribution to society and are recognized for their contributions. Through people’s jobs, they can make a contribution to something greater than themselves, which can be very fulfilling. A sense of satisfaction can come from a job well done.
Paul:
Work is not all that matters: if you’re someone who works full-time, that’s still only half of your waking life. To maximize happiness, it’s vital to maintain connections with people you care about and who care about you. For example, there’s nothing that lifts my spirits like being able to talk to a friend when I’m down.
