: ※ 引述《philJamy (Jamy)》之銘言：
: :     I'd rather work in a company of mine than be a employee. With plentyful
: : passion and energy, I believe that running a complany enables me economical
: : freedom, which is what I've been long for. Though it may be tough and
: : painstaking to establish a company, I would like to go all out for my goal.
: :     To me, working for an emplyer is easier, and lacking of challenge, though.
:                      as                           lacks or lacking in  ^s pl.
"For" shouldn't be substitute by "as" or the meaning what the author intended
to express in this article will be distorted. It's employer but not emplyer.
: : I may not need to take so much responsibilities as the chairman. Instead,
: : the managers will tell me what to do, and all I have to do is following the
: : directions. It's comfortable, but never a life I want to live. However old I
: : am, I wish that I could possess unlimited eagerness to learn and to achieve.
: : Compared with the life as an empolyee, life as a chairman can be challenging
: : and achieving.
: :     Besides, owning my business creates possibility to be ecnomically free.
: : An employee could hardly earn much extra income, no matter how hard he works.
: : One could work for eight extra hours a day, without increasing the salary  a
: : bit. However, a chairman of a company could increase his asset dramatically in a
: : short time, depending on how the company works. He doesn't even have to work
: : for so long as the worker do, while he is stiil a rich man.A rich and free
:                           ^s pl.
: : man! Again, the contrast between an employer and an employee seems explicit.
: :     Though so many people study and work so hard just to get a nice job, which
: : implies that working for others, I am clear about what I want-- being a wealthy
: : and free man. Owning a company is a realistic way to realize my dream.
: GJ!
: no big prob. Hope that I could do little help for you. ^^
: We can discuss.
I have more insight about this issue from your short essay.
Hope I can write as smoothly as you do.
