Work Freelance or Work for Boss?

Nowadays more and more people choose towork freelance instead of work for somebody else. It is a shame to workfreelance in the old days, people would said that the one who are self-employedis a lazy man, and this kind of job is not security, they fear of instability. However,the conception is changed, work freelance has been widely accepted by public,me included.

现在越来也多的人选择做自由职业者而不是为某人工作了。在以前自由职业者是令人羞耻的，人们会说这种人很懒，还有这种工作没保障，他们害怕不稳定。然而，现在观念改变了，自由职业者已经被广泛地接受了，包括我。

In the first place, one of the biggest advantagesof work freelance is that you are the master of your time. Once you areself-employed, you are able to manage your time by your own wish. You do nothave to get up very early in the morning, especially in a cold winter morning,and take a crowded bus in case you will not late for work, which links directlyto your salary. For me, I would love to stay home in my pajamas rather thanfight through traffic so I can sit in a cubicle all day.

第一，自由职业的最大优势就是你是你时间的主人。一旦你当了自己的老板，你就可以按照自己的意愿去管理你的时间。你不必每天早上早早起床，尤其是在寒冷的冬天早晨，又去挤公车，省的自己迟到，这直接关系到你的工资。就我来说，我宁愿穿着睡衣在家里也不要艰辛地挤公车然后在办公室的小格子里闷一天。

In the second place, work freelance is awonderful gift for an introvert. As you can see, if you are working outside,you can not avoid to working with others. It might be hard to deal withdifferent people in the office. There is one more thing that you can not avoid,which is your social duties, drinking and eating. You can’t say no to this, oryou will said bye to your job. As we know, too much food or wine is not goodfor our body, but as long as the cline feels happy, no one will care too muchof their body.

第二，自由职业是给内向的人一份美好的礼物。就像你所见到的，如果你在外面工作，你无法避免和其他人打交道。在办公室和不同的人相处会很难。还有一件事你也无法避免，那就是交际应酬，喝酒吃饭。你不能对这个说不，不然你就对你的工作说拜拜吧。像我们所知道的，过量饮食喝酒对我们的身体不好，但是只要客户觉得高兴，谁管得了那么多身体呢。

To sum up, each type of work style has itsown advantages and disadvantages, it is your choice. I think working should bea happy thing, if it isn’t, your life will be a sadly hell.

总而言之，每种工作方式都有自己的优势和劣势，这是你的选择。我认为工作应当是件快乐的事情，如果不是，那么你的生活就会变成一个可悲的地狱。
