Since finishing my studies at Harvard and Oxford. I've watched one friend after another land high-ranking, high-paying Wall Street jobs. As executives(高级管理人员) with banks, consulting firms, established law firms, and major corporations, many are now1on their way to impressive careers. By society's2, they seem to have it made.
On the surface, these people seem to be very lucky in life. As they left student life behind, many had a3drink at their cheap but friendly local bar, shook hands with Longtime roommates, and4out of small apartments into high buildings. They made reservations at restaurants where the cost of a bottle of wine5a college year's monthly rent. They replaced their beloved old car with expensive new sports cars.
The thing is, a number of them have6that despite their success, they aren't happy. Some7of unfriendly coworkers and feel sad for eight-hour workweeks devoted to tasks they8. Some do not respect the companies they work for and talk of feeling tired and9. However, instead of devoting themselves to their work, they find themselves working to support the10to which they have so quickly become11.People often speak of trying a more satisfying path, and12the end the idea of leaving, their jobs to work for something they13or finding a position that would give them more time with their families almost always leads them to the same conclusion; it' s14. They have loans, bills, a mortgage（抵押贷款）to15, retirement to save for. They recognize there's something16in their lives, but it's17to step off the track.

But what about the personal and social costs20in pursuing money over meaning? These are exactly the kinds of us tend to ignore - and the very ones we need to consider most.

My kids and I were heading into the supermarket over the weekend. On the way ,we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, "1my job. Family to Feed."
At this store, a2like this is not normal. My 10-year-old noticed him and make a3on how bad it must be to have to stand4in the cold wind.
In the store, I asked each of my kids to5something they thought our "friend" there would6. They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a7. I thought about it. We were8on cash ourselves, but… well, sometimes9from our need instead of our abundance is10what we need to do! All the kids11something they could do away with for the week.
When we handed him the bag of12, he lit up and thanked us with13eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for14his family might need, he burst into tears.
This has been a wonderful15for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can16! Things would have played out so17if I had simply said, "No, we really don't have18to give more." Stepping out not only helped a brother in19, it also gave my kids the20taste of helping others. It'll go a long way with them.
