Sometimes,we don't want to work,don't want to study,or do other things that we have to . We might be affected by others who lives easily,someone who can have a good life without hard work or struggle. So,what can we do to control ourselves to keep peace of mind,to avoid an illusion like a new-rich? PS:Is there any grammar or expression mistakes in my works? Please let me know. Thank you very much!

I don't think that anyone ever really wants to lose control or let their guard down, but it's a matter of how we control ourselves, when we let go, and what we do in our lives that really define us as human beings. Sometimes, we really want to let go, but we really can't, and in that case, we have to decide who we are going to be, and how we are going to behave around other people? We have to use a public face and a private face. I think another name for this is "Body Politic" and "Body Private". The English refer to this as "Keeping a stiff upper lip" or as many of you know it "Keep calm and carry on."
