In the second half of the episode, we move to the topic of where is the stress of work comes from and what kind of attitude should we have during the job hunting, also the work environment difference between China and Finland. In the last few minutes, we are closer to the essential question - How You Define Your Life Goal? But, I believe everybody needs to find that answer by themselves.
