▶ Your Answer :
Opinions might be divided over whether it is more important to be happy with a job than to have a high salary. People from different walks of life may take different stances on this issue. Personally, I believe that feeling happy with a job is more desirable rather than just getting a high salary, and there are two reasons that could validate my position.
The first point that I would like to make is that the money cannot buy happiness. Although any person retain lots of money that other people cannot dreamed of, he or she always feel happy. In addition, it is easy for people who are overwhelmed by unfavored tasks to feel stress. After all, This follow their misfortune. A study by an employment institute show that almost the half of respondents say that they are regretting to enter a large company now. Moreover, more than 80% of the respondents are under serious stress by excessive tasks. This clearly indicates that pursuing only high pay is not a right selection.
Another compelling reason is that people will have a lot of chances to success more if they enjoying their task. There is a famous saying that a talented person cannot beat a hard-working person and a hard-working person cannot beat a passionate person. That is because the more people enjoy work, the more they feel motivate. This result in their success in their field. My best friend in my university, Eugene is a good case in point. His major was an economics, but he always attended classes related to cook and food as an elective. He loved cooking food and sometimes invited me to his home and serve food for me. At first, his food was horrible. However, as time goes by, his cooking ability was appreciably improved and he transferred the department of cooking. After a few year, he opened a restaurant and his enterprise was very successful. In this regard, when selecting a job, people have to consider their preference.
All in all, because of the reasons mentioned above, I firmly believe that happiness is given top priority over any other factor when people choose their jobs. |
