In modern society, many people leave their workplaces to relieve stress. Commonly, they go to picnic or vacation with family members. Although these activities cost a bit of money, they are able to spend time with their family members and make good memory. On the other hand, some people disagree with these activities because they believe that these activities are merely demanding and timeconsuming. In my opinion, I prefer to take a vacation and have a good time with my family and friends.
First of all, having vacation is not a waste of money. They are able to experience a variety of new things through these activities. I think that they invest their experience rather than saving money and sometimes these particular experience make positive and lucrative result. According to a research a conducted at New York University in 2007, more than 70 percent of respondents who are students in the University replied that their precious experience in their childhood is very beneficial and helpful to their careers and they are able to experience unfamiliar custom. Some people against my opinion might say that these activities are only a waste of money and if they save vacation cost for a long time, they are able to save huge sums of money. I partially agree with this reputation but I think that much various experience more valuable than saving a bit of money.
On top of that, taking vacation gives a chance to make a good relationship with other people. Getting a long with family members and developing good relation with friends and colleagues is very meaningful. Before a few month ago, a respected executive said that dealing with a person is more different than anything else in his life. I think that having instructive experience about interacting with other person is very necessary and useful. I read a newspaper article a few weeks ago, many successful people said that most profitable information are obtained from their friends and colleagues. Making good partner is a unchangeablely crucial factor to people in all ages and countries. Although saving money gives a chance to earn the interest from capital, making effective friends gives a chance to make a tremendous of amount money.
To sum up, taking a vacation is more meaningful than saving money without any vacation for two reasons: One is that having picnic and vacation make us a variety of experience. Another reason is that people are able to make good relationship with other colleagues and friends especially family members.
