Is Stress a Bad Thing?
According to a recent survey, in the last few years, quite a number of young people have chosen to quit their demanding but highly-paid jobs. Although they may have their own respective reasons, I don't think their decisions are wise in reality.
It's true the case is not unique. Some people choose to do something less competitive so that they can lead a comfortable, easy life that a highly-paid job cannot obtain. They are afraid that the stresses and strains of work will rob them of joy and happiness and do them harm both physically and mentally. In fact, however, stress isn't the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and challenge, and to give significance to an idle life. People under stress are likely to express their full range of potential and to realize goal 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 learn to deal with it rather than to escape from it. (184 words)
结构剖析
文章分为三段
第一段提出作者的观点：认为年轻人辞去高薪工作很不明智。
第二段指出人们会选择竞争小的行业的原因--为了生活轻松。然而作者认为有压力并非坏事，有压力就能激发出人的创造力。

有压力是件坏事吗？
根据最近的调查，在最近这些年里，许多年轻人选择了放弃他们需要花很多心血但是薪水很高的工作。虽然他们可能有他们各自的原因，但是我认为他们的决定其实是不明智的。
这种现象真的不罕见。有些人选择去做一些竞争小一点的事情，这样他们就能生活得舒适、轻松，而高薪工作者是不会得到这种生活的。他们害怕工作的压力和束缚会把他们的快乐和幸福抢去了，而且在身心上都会对他们造成损害。然而，事实上有压力不是人们常常认为的那样是件坏事。一定量的压力对于提供动力和挑战来说至关重要，而且能给闲散的生活带来意义。压力之下的人们有可能会充分发挥他们的潜力，并且实现人生的目标。
压力是日常生活中很自然的一部分，无法避免。我们能做的就是学习处理压力，而不是逃避它。
