▶ Your Answer : Some people might say that they like to do schoolwork or jobs only that are easy. However, in my opinion, it is better for me to challenge difficult tasks. There are two reasons. First, I can learn many valuable things. Second, I can set a good example for others and give good advice to them. To begin with, people are able to get a wide array of knowledge when they try challenging schoolwork or jobs. Sometimes, in the progress of trying, they might fail and feel depressed. But these failures can make them stronger to try over and over again. Success is always based on the failures. For example, there was a survey conducted by a group of education majors, with 200 workers as respondents. The purpose of the survey was to understand their thoughts about applying challenging jobs. The majority of respondents replied that though it was hard times for them, they learned things that are priceless like teamwork or patience. An overwhelming 60% responded that they would make the same choice if they went back to the moment they decided to challenge. This survey proves that doing challenging work is not a waste of time. On top of that, I can set a excellent example for the people around me like my friends or little sisters. Also, I can give them better advice which might help them a lot. I will talk about my experience as an example to elucidate my point. A few years ago, when I need to decided on my major, I chose the challenging one, chemistry. I did not want to go through the easy way. I wanted to test myself and to see the best of me. But after I took some classes, it was very hard for me to understand the basics of the mechanism. But after I understood all of the principles, I could teach other students who were struggling to understand the class. When I heard their worries about studying, it seemed like I see myself in the past. So I could give them valuable advice. As a result, I found out that my teaching ability has improved. To sum up, when people are given difficult tasks, they can not only learn so many things but also set a good example for others. In this regard, I think It is benefical to do schoolworks or jobs that are challenging. |
