39. “It is difficult for people to achieve professional success without sacrificing important aspects of a fulfilling personal life.”

Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.

Some people believe that to achieve professional success need to sacrificing important aspects of the fulfilling personal life. It seems reasonable if we take account of some examples around us – the senior customer service manager work overtime every day to satisfy the requirement of customer, the general manager reply email even at 4:00 o’clock in the morning. But in my point of view, professional success and a fulfilling personal life are not mutually exclusive but actually mutually beneficial to some extent.

First, fulfillment personal life will help to develop not only good physical health but also good mental health which is the foundation to achieve great success. As old saying goes, who do not know how to relax also do not know how to work. People are not ever-running machines. After a long period of hard work, all people need to have an entirely relax to regain energy, otherwise the working efficiency and effectiveness will sharply drop down and the health of the worker will be injured. The good hobbies such as play tennis, ride horses and hiking will help people get rid of the stress of work, and eventually gain good health that guarantee people work long enough and ultimately gain the career goal.

Second, personal life such as dating with friends, communicating with relatives help to expand business people’s network and extend the people’s horizon of knowledge. We all have the experience in the work that we have no more good ideas for an important project. It is no use to just sitting on the table and thinking harder and harder because we need some inspirations instead of thinking by ourselves. In such kind of situation, speaking to friends no matter how related the topic may help us. Even more, you can sometimes get inspiration in playing with your little child. So the entertainment time in personal life can provide intellectual or spiritual enlightenment and understanding.

On the other hand, professional success provides financial foundation for cozy personal life. People deserve to the reward for their hard work therefore allow them enjoy in the recreation, hobbies, good living environment and providing good education for children.

Admittedly, there are conflicts between work and casual life, because we only have limited time. More and more people and company aware the situation and begin to find ways to balance professional and personal life. For example, people can use the time management skill to set priorities for tasks both for works and for homes. Companies begin to offer such options as flexible work schedule, child care centers and leaves of absence for family reason. Obviously, people in today become more and more desire for balanced life and companies would like to encourage people to achieve such objective. 

In conclusion, we can obtain both career success and fulfillment of personal life what I call it a whole successful life although it need our effort to balance the time and energy.
