Abstract
In the process of economic development and social transformation, individuals and society often face severe challenges from the hedonistic outlook on life. The hedonistic outlook on life emphasizes the “materiality-reality” of life, attempts to reduce human beings from rational and spiritual existence to human perceptual and material levels, ignores the premise that life must learn to work and create wealth. Without ideals and beliefs, the hedonistic outlook on life cannot find the real destination in life. This will cause serious harm to young people. Therefore, it is very important to explore a more correct direction and way for today’s society, especially young people, to cultivate the habits or qualities of studious and diligent work.
