027 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
When it comes to the issue as to whether people should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing, people often fall into controversy due to their different backgrounds, characters and social experiences. Some take it for granted that people should only take activities that interest them, others, however, hold different views. As far as I am concerned, I believe that, in order to live in this world, people sometimes have to do things that they are not willing to do.
The primary reason for my point rests on the fact that people have to make a living first and few people, nevertheless, have the chance to do work that they enjoy to afford their necessary living costs. My own experience is a good annotation of this reason. I like playing football much and dream to be a professional player someday, however, my poor body tells me that I would not make success in this field so I have to give up my dream. Now, I act as an engineer, though I don’t like the job much but it can offer me and my family essential materials, such as foods, house, clothing and etc. Thus, not everybody has chance to take job as his or her own will, some people have to do what they may not really be interested.
Another reason for my propensity is that sometimes people have to do something they dislike or even hate to flatter others. Empirical evidence supporting this reason is overwhelming. One needs look no further than a well lie to demonstrate that this is indeed the case. As can be obviously seen, lie is disgusted by most of us, but in some circumstances, for example, in order to relieve the worry of a patient, a doctor may have to lie about his or her real situation. Therefore, people sometimes have to do something they dislike for the benefit of others.
Of course, as a proverb says “Interest is the best teacher”, people usually can do things they are really interested in better than those they dislike. However, this is not meaning that people can’t do anything they don’t enjoy well. A small example would give some light to the point, it is said that I don’t like to take GMAT, but I do get a high score.
To sum up, I believe that, considering how short life is, everyone wants to live a happy life and do what they really like to do, but we can’t control everything in our lives. So, in a word, people sometimes have to do what they do not want to do. |
