We will be faced with ________in our new life after graduation.
Dear Peter, How are you getting along recently? I have been missing you very much. I’m low in spirits these days! I feel depressed about my work. The
question is hanging over my head all the time whether this hopeless and dull routine work will be the way for the rest of my life. Sometimes I go to the dark end of the shelves, press my forehead against the wall and bury myself in a few moments of quiet disappointment. You can’t imagine how time drags in the workplace. I have to surf the Internet to kill time. To make matters worse, all the colleagues around are absorbed in their own work and seem to be indifferent to my existence. I have never felt close to any of them.
The dead-end job is sucking every bit of energy from my body and I’m trying to forget about tomorrow and all the tomorrows that will follow. Sorry, Peter. Maybe my low spirits have somewhat scared you. Anyway, I will try to cheer up.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.Yours sincerely,
Bob

Interest Personal relationship
It is estimated that approximately 40% of people from all walks of life are not interested in their work. (statistics) Actually, interest is a fertile source of career success. You might as well find a job that is to your taste. However, interest alone can’t make it possible for you to achieve everlasting success in your work. A positive attitude towards work and a good knowledge of the requirement of a job can make up for the lack of interest . For instance, it was Arturo Toscanini’s strict attitude towards performance and loyalty to the composer’s intention that made him outstanding. (examples) Meanwhile, you may as well take personal relationship in the workplace into consideration. Be kind and genuinely care about colleagues, and you will find they are willing to be around you. Be approachable and smile a lot, and you can make others feel at ease and convey confidence. Add value to colleagues, and you will light them up.
