Needless to say, money is an important factor to live a convenient life. However, the thing that we cannot buy with money is person’s feeling like happiness. Therefore, I strongly argue that people should not pursue a high salary, but they have to follow their happiness for several reasons. First, only high salary makes them stressed out. Second, happiness with the job will lead them to earn high payment.
First of all, people get stressed out when they have to do something reluctantly. One may think that they can enjoy life with high salary such as travel. This may cause them to be happy in a short time. However, if they work as mandatory in their everyday life, they will go through dismay and gloomy life. Let me take my brother for example. His dream was to be a kindergarten teacher since he was elementary school because he loved children and teaching others. As he grew up, he realized that the job gives low salary. So he got a work for computer software where gave him a high salary. Nevertheless, after 3 months, he quitted the job since he felt everyday tasks at a workplace seems like heavy and burden to him. By turning his job to kindergarten, he recovered his happy and bright life. In this sense, high salary does not satisfy people’s emotion which causes them to be stressed.
Second, pursuing happiness gives a chance to earn a high salary. It is an obvious idea because people naturally put their all efforts when they are doing something love to. This is the most important factor whose gets a high payment. Today’s issue in our country is a new iPhone made by Steven Jobs. Until his company ‘APPLE’ becomes world-wide level, he put lots of time and efforts on it. He even started his own enterprise in a garage. He did not this as compulsory but he just followed what made him happy. After following happiness in a job, he catched two birds with one stone. In this sense, being happy with the job also give an opportunity to get a high salary.
In conclusion, of course, high salary is one of the crucial factors when we select a job. However, the most important element is happiness with a job. First, people get stressed out when they have to do something reluctantly. Second, pursuing happiness give a chance to earn a high salary. |
