Beijing West Railway Station is the biggest railway station I have ever seen．I once joked, "You will never know how many people there are in China unless you go to Beijing West Railway Station．"

I usually bought hard - berth （硬臥） tickets when I traveled by tram in China．The first thing I noticed is that Chinese berths are much smaller than those in other countries．Though I had to crouch on the berth, I could still manage to sleep on it, as I'm not that tall．

China's trains operate efficiently．The work is distributed well among the attendants and trains depart punctually．The friendly nature of the Chinese passengers turns a trip on the train into a big family gathering, and they often share their food with other passengers．Foreigners, on the other hand, will say "hi" to each other, but rarely go further than that．On Chinese trains, I often saw such a funny ritual: old couples would argue about whether they should put their luggage on or under the rack; young people would begin to fiddle with their mobile phones as soon as they were settled in their seats．

I like traveling by train in China because it is cheap, safe and comfortable．In India and Spain, people are always knocking off the metal parts of the train to sell them for money．Bit by bit, the train is destroyed．That's why there are signs on the train, warning, "Stop stealing the train" ! There are signs on Dutch and French trains which read " No Sticking" to stop people from sticking pictures on the trains．On the other hand, on Chinese trains you can find signs like this, "Welcome to take our train．"

Here are a few tips to help you, the workaholic, re - focus and get the best out of life．

EIGHT HOURS OF SLEEP! Make it a point to get at least eight hours of sleep and plenty of rest．Don't believe that you can always "catch some sleep or rest later．" Your body cannot make up for lost sleep or rest time because it is not physiologically possible．

STRICTLY FAMILY ON WEEKENDS! Resolve to make Saturdays and Sundays strictly for family time．And stick to this! Mondays until Fridays you make an excuse not to relax and spend time with your family because it's work time, why not make a similar excuse for Saturdays and Sundays?

GET SOME FOOD IN! Make sure you get food in your stomach．Workaholics are known to be food - skippers．If you can't afford to get off your desk or from doing paperwork, have food delivered to you．It's always a good idea if you have crackers on your drawer to ease the hunger pangs．

WORK UP THOSE MUSCLES! Exercise, exercise, exercise! Set aside at least an hour each day or every other day for exercise．Your body needs to be conditioned, and working non - stop isn't going to give it the proper physical conditioning it needs．Since most workaholics tend to have their behinds stuck on their chairs, it's even more important that you get some exercise．

WORK TO LIVE! Always keep in mind that you work so you can live and have a comfortable life．Always remember that you don't live to work．Working is just one of the many useful and fruitful activities you do that enables you to live a good life and gives your family their needs．Don't make work your life．
