Various opinions
may exist over the argument that having a low-salary job that is secure is
better than high salary that can be easily lost. As far as I am concerned, I am
in complete disagreement with the idea.
First and
foremost, modern society gives more importance to material possessions rather
to intellectual or spiritual values. In this highly commercialized world,
people hardly do anything without a certain amount of money. Indeed, with
money, one can meet material demands such as taking effective medicines, living
in magnificent houses, having a meal at a luxurious restaurant and so on.
Besides, with money, one can do a lot of meaningful things to benefit others,
such as donations to those in need. All these will not only satisfy one's need
for personal fulfillment, but also add grandness to one's success. Money itself
cannot give us happiness, but at least it offers us opportunities to seek happiness
in certain aspects. Therefore, a job with high salary is better although it
could be easily lost. According to a research conducted by a renowned professor
named Sam Adams from Pittsburgh University indicates that people who have more
materials possessions have more satisfaction of life than poor people. Rich
people use money not only for themselves to fulfill their desire or need, but also
tend to donate or benefit other people by pleasure. As a result, these people
think themselves very competent in their field and advantageous for society.
Likewise, his research proves that my argument is convincing.
Aside from the
first reason, people can find emotional relief by making a lot of money because
it is effective for boosting people's moods. Today, many people are weary with
too much stress. By having a strong financial motivation, however, they can
better focus and work more enjoyably. In this respect, having a job with high
salary can provide and excellent motivation that invigorates people's minds. My
personal experience can be used to prove my point. Every morning, I have to get
through traffic congestion to go to work and read countless documents while I
am at work. To make matters worse, I get exhausted coping with my subordinates
and bosses. Hence, as a way to stimulate myself, I check my bank account and
remind myself of my goal-to make one million dollars! Even if it sounds almost
impossible, my feelings become relaxed and I am no longer thinking about the
demanding requests at work. Indeed, during this enjoyment, I am able to relieve
tension and gain energy. Given this situation, a job with high salary is much
better for one's emotional status.
To sum up, I
believe my explanations above sufficiently prove the advantage of having a job
with high salary. Obviously, the significance of self-improvement and having
motivation for work cannot be overemphasized enough.
