▶ Your Answer :People have different opinions when it
comes to the matter of spending time. What would you rather do? Do you think
spending time at work is more important than that with your family? Some
workers choose to be at office rather than at home talking to their families.
Of course it depends on one’s thought and values that they consider the most
significant in their lives. However, I strongly disagree with this statement.
In my opinion, family and relatives are a lot more precious than colleagues and
work. I have three main reasons to support my view.
First of all, family is a completely
different concept than work. While at work most people are cooperating because
of their own goals and ambition, family is something that cannot be started
over. It is a group of people that love each other without any conditions and
no one is able to choose their own. If you are born in a family, it is usually
very difficult to change it. Therefore, whenever you need to prioritize one of
your roles, one as a family member and the other as a employee, it must be your
role in your family because it is your fate, not your choice.
Also, when people ask me this type of
question, I always ask them back this question which is the purpose of making
money suffering from such a big amount of stress. As all of the readers may
know, most of the time, family is the biggest reason why people earn money.
Especially the fathers work very hard to support and make their family happier.
For example, my dad is working in Mexico. Since it is a foreign country, he
gets more than twice the amount of stress he gets in Korea. However, he never
complains about his work no matter how hard it is and always tries his best to
be nice dad and husband to me and my mom.
The last reason why I do not agree with the
statement is because family is definitely the one people in the entire world
who truly thinks about you and understands you. Whenever you look tired or
happy, they are the one who can comfort you and share the happiness with you
and congratulate you by heart. This is why I think by being with your family
you can relax and take a brief rest from the stressful competition in the
society. My personal belief is that there is no one else that loves you as much
as your family does.
To sum up, these are the main reasons why I
believe spending time at work is less important than spending time with you
family. Of course there are many people in the world who think the other way
but still, they will understand how precious and valuable their families are
someday. “Unconditional love” is the phrase that comes up to my mind when I think
about my mother and father and they are who encourage me to do my best at work. |
