▶ Your Answer :
Some people might think that one person can be happier through social life, not his job. However, in my opinion, one’s job can make his life happier or more depressed, and its effect might be stronger than that of social life for following two reasons. To begin with, one’s job is extraordinarily important in his life because people at present spend most of their time working almost everyday. Therefore, if there were trouble in factors related with one’s job, he might get lots of stress during much times of a day. Suppose that you have a trouble with your coworker. Would it be possible for you to concentrate on your work without any stress or any concern? The answer will be no. I now this from my personal experience. Last year, I had trouble with my colleague since we had different ideas about a problem, and it was difficult to meet in the middle. As a result, we could not make solution and I did not talk with him anymore. However, it was necessary for our to face and sit in the same space everyday. So, I should be concerned about him everytime and it was a huge stress for me to meet the person whom I did not like from early morning to night. Moreover, factors which are relevant with jobs have also negative or positive impacts on one’s social life. This is because in materialistic society, money is emerged from job and if someone were short of money, he could not enjoy his social life. To be specific, most aspects of social life are correlated with one’s job. If you were poor or had no job, it might be difficult for you to meet friends. Or the same can be said when you had a job which is done in some illegal field. This is because in these societies, money and job are considered as one’s power and if someone had not good conditions in those, he would be ignored and there would be no space to stand in the society. In this regard, I will take my brother’s case as an example. Last year, my brother could not get a stable job, so he started an internship as a part time job. In this period, he did hardly meet his friends since he felt shame about himself. He probably had no confidence to meet his friends who have already stable jobs. However, before long, he finally was employed from a quite large company, and after that many things changed. He had meetings with them again, and furthermore, he was enthusiastic to make chances to meet them in order to boast his the new job. To sum up, one’s job has impacts on his overall life including social jobs negatively or positively since many people spend most of their time in work and it can be also a kind of confidence or expression of self-esteem for him. In this regard, I firmly believe that one’s happiness would be more affected by one’s job than by his social life. |
