Also is the knowledge that right now we spend about in the first 25 years of our lives learning,
我還有另一個原因，目前我們大概用生命的前二十五年學習，
then there is another 40 years that's really reserved for working.
之后的四十年用于工作。
And then tacked on at the end of it are about 15 years for retirement.
放到最后的是約十五年的退休生活。
And I thought it might be helpful to basically cut off five of those retirement years and intersperse them in between those working years.
我覺得更合理的可能是，拿走五年的退休時間，把它們穿插在工作的年頭里。
That's clearly enjoyable for myself.
我自己顯然因此很開心。

但更重要的是，是來自休假那幾年的成果可以回饋公司，回饋社會，

In a career I'm definitely more engaged.
或者，我可以把工作看成我的事業。
But at the same time, there will be periods when I think is all that really hard work really worth my while?
這樣我會做得更加用心，但有時我又會想，花這多精力值得嗎？
While in the third one, in the calling, very much likely I would do it also if I wouldn't be financially compensated for it.
第三個層次是把工作視為一種呼召，如果工作是一種呼召，很可能我無論如何也會做，即使沒有金錢回報也沒關系。
