Christina’s Life Report
A Summary for Christina’s life report
Christina is a very smart woman, she came to our company after her undergraduate study; But Christina is not a very self-disciplined person. After work, she spends most of her time online playing games, and most of the money she earns is spent on games to buy game equipment. And she didn’t follow the company’s best advice. She worked every day when she was short of money, sometimes four hours a day, which causes huge damage to his physical health. Besides, she often plays games every day and night, eats take-away food and never does exercises. So we can find she has bad scores for all four areas especially the physical health and personal value.
SUMMATY
From our company’s different employee experience and life evaluation report, we can see that in such a free working mode, some people live a more wonderful life, while others have a more bleak life. So what will your life be like if you join our company one day?
And also we have to think about this question: Is life with more freedom better or worse? Nowadays most people have similar routine, they have to work for most of their life and only a small part time is under people’s control. But if one day people do not need to work for such a long time, most time is under people’s control, they have more freedom, what will happen? There will be bigger and bigger difference between people ‘s life such as Steven and Christina in our narrative. Some people are positive and they can arrange their life better while the others are very negative and waste a lot of time. That’s also why our company set up the life repot to evaluate people’s life so that we can find the meaning of people’s life and find which work mode is better to individual and our society from a long term.
Nowadays, many people often complain they do not have their own life and want more freedom. If one day our dream comes true, how might we balance freedom and working? How might we choose living or life? what will our society be like?
We hope our project can raise your thinking about this topic. Thank you for your time.
