▶ Your Answer : Although there is
no complete consensus that has been reached on this topic, yet I would like to
take a stance and make my disagreement with the given thesis that people today
spend too much time on personal enjoyment rather than doing things they should
do. In order to substantiate my central focal points, I will provide specific
reasons and explore the given topic in great detail in this essay.
To begin with, I firmly believe
that people today do not really spend too much time on personal enjoyment, not
doing things they should do. I am sure that it is not a big deal to give
themselves some times in their daily routines for their personal enjoyments. On
the other hands, enjoyment is really important in people’s lives. Opponents of
my perspective claim that people would lose focus on what they have to do,
spending too much time on enjoyment. Proponents of this view several points as
rationales for their argument and their argument might have some validity. But
after closer look, there exists an abundance of examples that calling into
question what they claim. Among such examples, my personal experience can
elucidate their incorrect viewpoint. For me, doing a personal enjoyment is
really important all the time, this is because I can relieve my stress. While
living in a same kind of daily routine, I get a lot of stress from many things
such as relationship with people, studying, and etc. For this reason, I spend
my spare time with doing some enjoyments. However, I do not think that I spend
too much time on enjoyment and it does not mean that I neglect to do what I
have to do. This is because I think it is really important to spend spare time
with enjoyment while doing the tasks that I have to accomplish. And without
spending some of my time for enjoyments I would get a lot of stress as much as
I would not be able to live well. This validates my earlier contention that
people today do not really spend too much time on personal enjoyment.
The account of mine that I
illustrated above is not the only evidence to support my view. A recent survey
conducted by one of the leading educational consulting firms in Korea endorsed
my opinion when the survey respondents were asked whether they sided with the
argument that people spend too much time on enjoyment rather than doing things
that they must do or not. A leading educational expert claims that it is proved
that a person who spent his or her time with enjoyment could concentrate better
on his or her work and efficiency of work was much higher than a person who
spent his or her time with doing required tasks. Moreover, the expert asserts
that one thing that is assumed for all people is that people do a better job
when they are doing what they like to do. Likewise, spending some time with
doing enjoyment will bring about positive effects for people’s daily lives and
better results on their tasks.
In conclusion, in spite of the fact
that there may be some opinions that people spend too much time on enjoyment
rather than doing things they should do, taking into account of all the factors
that I described above, we may reach to the conclusion that people do not
really spend too much time on their personal enjoyment, not knowing what things
they really have to do.
