Well, actually, for me, I'm not into a life that's full of pressure and obstacles. It's true that life is a mix of fortune and misfortune. In my opinion, I suppose life should be balanced. There should be a balance between ease and challenges. Excessive pressure would make me feel overwhelmed. So, from my perspective, I'd rather live a life that's not so challenging.
