▶ Your Answer :
A thought-provoking current issue concerns the pace of working. Some believe that people should work quickly and risk making mistakes, instead of working slowly and making sure that everything is correct. It is therefore timely to consider the validity of this perspective. For the following reasons, I disagree that it is better to work quickly than to work slowly. First, it decreases the productivity; second, it makes me stressful.
To begin with, the productivity will decrease if people work quickly. While working quickly, they will obviously make mistakes. Since they have to correct mistakes, working quickly will take longer to finish jobs than working slowly. For example, last year, I worked a part-time job in a restaurant with my friend John. When he washed the dishes, he did so quickly that he made many mistakes. In order to correct mistakes, he did it again and again. As a result, I could finish much faster than him because I washed the dishes at a slow pace in order to make sure that everything is correct. This example shows that since it will negatively affect the productivity, it is preferable to work slowly and perfectly.
In addition, working at a fast pace makes people stressful. So in order to feel comfortable, working slowly is better than working quickly for people. The world is becoming more and more competitive so many companies force people to work quickly in order to improve productivities. As a result, many people nowadays are stressed out and get many diseases. For example, a study conducted by Harvard University points out that people who work at a fast pace tend to get serious illness such as cancer than people work at a slow pace. So in order to be healthy, it is recommended to work slowly. This example shows that since it is not good for our health, working slowly and making sure that everything is correct is better.
As mentioned above, I prefer to work slowly rather than quickly. This is because working quickly reduces the productivity and it negatively affects our health.
