Abstract
Work helps us live a good life. “ The Hungry Ocean ” told us about the reason, value and compensation of work. “ The Devil Wears Prada ” taught us dramatic changes would appear when you chose a job. “ Something Borrowed ” is a great story of finding what you really want. “ The Perfect Mile ” helps us set up a goal and be ourselves. The four stories help us better understand the philosophy of work.
