Keren Eldad: 我在三十多岁的时候也经历过类似的情况，感觉自己做了所有‘正确’的事情，却依然感到疲惫和迷茫。这并非简单的职业倦怠，而是因为我将人生的阶梯架在了错误的墙上。许多人都会犯这样的错误，他们努力工作，完成所有目标，却在到达顶峰时才发现自己走错了路。解决方法是放下过去，重新审视自己，去发现自己的真正目标和热情所在。这需要时间和勇气，但最终会带来丰厚的回报，因为你将不再走错路。 我建议你放下手中的阶梯，这会很痛苦，就像重新开始一样。但是，请花时间去了解自己，去发现什么能让你感到快乐，什么能让你在无人付费的情况下也愿意去做。当你找到真正想做的事情时，你就会发现自己正在成为一个更好的人。这同样适用于爱情和其他方面的人生选择。通常，这段内在的旅程虽然需要时间，但最终会带来丰厚的回报，因为你将不再把阶梯架在错误的墙上。 Jean Chatzky: 我完全同意Karen的观点。不要为了高薪而选择自己不热爱的工作，即使你热爱的工作薪资较低，最终也能获得成功。许多人会因为薪资高而选择一份自己并不喜欢的工作，但长此以往，他们会感到疲惫和迷茫。与其这样，不如选择自己热爱的工作，即使起初的薪资较低，但随着时间的推移，你将会在工作中获得更多的成就感和满足感，最终也会获得相应的回报。
