What is the author's view on dedication and happiness?
In the sixth paragraph, the author expounds the meaning of "respect", and after quoting Zhu's famous saying that "the Lord is uncomfortable, it is respect", he closely cooperates with his own popular explanation: "Anyone who does something must be loyal to one thing, and he must concentrate all his energy on it, that is, respect." Then logically, it is argued that all legitimate labor and serious things of human beings are "respectable in nature", and it is proved by two things: "being a great president" and "pulling rickshaws". The key point is that "all occupations are respectable" and "doing a job satisfactorily because of one's own talents and situation is the first person in the world."

The seventh paragraph discusses how to be "dedicated". First quote the sentence in Zhuangzi and explain it. Then, give two examples: the carpenter makes the table, the politician builds the country, the dung collector cleans the toilet, and the soldier hits an enemy, which shows that no matter what he does, he must never be distracted (that is, "concentrate"). Then it discusses the harm of "disrespect" from the opposite side, points out that "dedication is the most needed and beneficial thing in life", and quotes the famous sayings of Zhuangzi and Confucius to further emphasize the importance of dedication. The natural combination of examples and quotations makes the reasoning of the article invincible.
