Zest in life is neither an option nor a hard-to-get luxury. It is a must, something essential for living a good life. Whatever we're doing, if it does not increase our zest for life, then it is not worth doing. We have to change until we find that little spark, glittering in the dark. With a little stir, it will turn into a small flame and later a large fire. Fire, passion and enthusiasm are the valuable driving forces behind our tireless actions and creativity, which will bring about some fine products, wonderful results or big breakthroughs.
The fountainhead for the zest in life is, above all, trying to be healthy. To be honest, it is not easy to be healthy in the long term. We cannot automatically cruise through life and be healthy, which is especially true for middle-aged people because our bodies are on the wane. If we still indulge in childish pleasures and prefer tasty but poisonous foods like sweets or other junk, we get fat and tired and sick. We must learn to appreciate the beauty of a glass of celery juice. Although the taste is bitter, it can benefit our bodies, which requires scientific knowledge and conscious training.
Exercising is the same. Going to and from the gym takes time. It is physically demanding to run on the treadmill, swim for 40 minutes and so on. However, without the initial pain, we will never experience the deep pleasure and relaxation oozing out of every pore of the body after a vigorous round of exercise.
We have to earn our health. No pain, no gain and no deep pleasure and no lasting health.
对生活的热情不是可有可无的，也不是一种难以获得的奢侈品。它是美好生活的必要条件。无论做什么。如果它不能增进我们对生活的热情，那么就根本不值得做。必须改变，直到我们找到那个小火花，在黑暗中闪闪发光。经过一番搅动，它会变成小火苗，逐渐燃烧成熊熊大火。火焰、激情、或热情是动力，有了它我们就能乐此不疲地做事情，有了它我们就自然有了宝贵的创造力，结果就是成就一些精美的产品、带来美好的结果或实现伟大的突破。
保持生活热情的首要基础是保持健康。说实话，从长远来看，保持健康并非易事。我们不可能以定速巡航模式来自动保持健康，特别对中年人来说，因为我们的身体正在衰退。如果仍然追求简单幼稚的快乐，喜欢美味而有毒的食物，如糖果或其他垃圾食品，那势必会肥胖、疲惫和生病。我们必须学会享受一杯芹菜汁的美好。虽然口感是苦的，但它能使身体受益，这就需要认知到位，加上有意识的训练。
锻炼也是如此。来去健身房都需要时间。在跑步机上跑步，在游泳池游泳40分钟，都很费劲吃力的。然而，如果没有最初的痛苦，我们永远不会体验到充分运动之后从身体的每一个毛孔散发出来的深度愉悦和放松。
想要健康就必须努力去保持、去经营。没有痛苦就不会有收获，也体验不到深层次的快乐和持久的健康。
