(Good poster) Conclusion is right, but...

(First, enjoy and appciate the poster. However, to show my appreciation, I felt obliged to share my true thoughts. I think my feedback could be useful to LZ).

If you ask 100 people, "what's the important to be successful in life", I bet 90 will say "热爱工作热爱生活". Then, why there are so many miserable souls?

The reason is that 热爱工作热爱生活 is a very ambiguous concept. More often than not, people just use the fancy phrase to lecture others.

I would not say the garbage collector is a person of 热爱生活 or 成功, especially not merely based on LZ's unspoken apprecition. The garbage collector was just doing others a favor.

I think we can call that gargabe collector a person of 成功 if he meets below criteria:
- He has a fulfilling life out of work.
- Garbage collecting makes good use of his capacity/gift given by the Creator. (this is very important)
- He is passionate about gargabe collecting. It's irrelevant whether he did extra work for LZ or LZ has gratitude towards him.

There is a typical style of writing:
- Have a conclusion first.
- Scramble to come up with one or two isolated (relevant or irrelevant) examples to support the conclusion.
- Judge the person/event by what other people say or think of.
- Done.

I think the more important/difficult/practical are:
- Know yourself.
- Figure out what exactly 热爱生活热爱工作 means to yourself. What do you want from your life? What are you good at?
- What to do to fully utilize your gifts and get the most out of your life.
