Extended information

The premise of "dedication and joy in work" is "career". The author first quotes the words of Confucius and the story of Zen Master Baizhang, and comes to the conclusion that "every industry is the first, and all kinds of laziness are the first", emphasizing that "career" is the foundation of life. When demonstrating the issue of "dedication", we first use Zhu Xi's "the master is to be respectful" to explain that the meaning of "dedication" is to be dedicated and undistracted.

Then, ask the question "Why should we respect you?" Starting from the needs of human survival (working for life) and the meaning of individual life (living for labor), the author demonstrates the truth that "all professions are sacred and all professions are respectable." In the author's opinion, there is no difference between being a president and pulling a rickshaw in terms of the sacred nature of the profession.
