TOPIC: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? A person’s job has more effects on his or her happiness than this person’s social life does. Use specific reasons to support your answer.

Some people claim that high-paying jobs are of great significance for people’s wellbeing because the compensation that their jobs brought to them could provide an excellent opportunity to improve their life standard. But in fact, job is not the decisive factor of obtaining felicity for all people, whereas the person’s social life exerts more impacts than jobs for people’s happiness in daily life.

Friends are a mighty elixir and one secret of happiness. As Cicero said that, “Friendship makes prosperity more shining and lessens adversity by dividing and sharing it”. The quantity of one’s friends does make a significant effect in their enjoyment. In our daily life, we always encounter various troubles and at that time we need the helps or assistance from friends. Under this circumstance, if we have many friends, it would be easier for us to solve these problems. This is proven by Steve Jobs’s personal experience. When Steve, the CEO of Apple, was in his twenties, he was in an extremely tight budget even has no money to afford the rent so as to he has to live in his friend’s house. Granted, he is the most enjoyable person in this world at that moment because he has a committed friend who always supports him in time of difficulties. Therefore, when we see the complete panoramic view of our life, we may find that the delight that our friends brought to us more than we can imagine.

Evidently, human beings are social animals and our social life is one of the most important influences on our mental health. Most of us fear for one thing: loneliness, partly because it always brought those undesirable and negative feelings to our life, such as depression, frustration, anxiety. Sometimes it can be a serious, life-threatening health condition and causing a high rate of suicide. However, if we spend time with a large number of friends in weekend and learn to share and communicate our stories and ideas with them, it would afford people the sense of happiness. Whenever I took part in activities with my friends and colleagues, I always cherished this amiable relationship with them for the reason that it not only makes me more delighted but also give me a moral strength and support. Thus, a comradeship can be the main producer for pure joys.

No one can neglected that job’s contribution to our life because money earned from it can satisfy our basic needs and desires, such as the desires for nice homes, nice cars, nice clothes. Although there are a handful of people do certainly choose to work due to their personal motivation, I believed that earning money would be the most important reason why people work for most of people. Nevertheless, the fact proves that, in some case, money is not equal to happiness. It is not uncommon today that many young people complained that their job makes them extremely stressful and exhausting and said that they want a long vacation to retrieve themselves from the huge pressure that their work brought to them. Also, there are many celebrities who own great wealth and social status prefer to choose suicide rather than to live healthily. In this way, it’s no exaggeration to say that the function of money is limited and it cannot guarantee the enjoyable life for us. Therefore, a well-paid job cannot bring more delight to us.

In conclusion, job hasn’t exerted more impact on one’s wellbeing than social life does. I believe in that because the function and status of our friends and social interaction for us in our life far more outweigh the job brought to us. Hence, I would definitely recommend my friends and relatives to join social activities if you are still live in depression and misery.
