Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money. Others argue that it is best to try and improve such situations. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Some believe that it’s important to be accepting negative circumstances when they occur, whereas others emphasize it’s better to try to seek solutions in
such
situations. Linking Words
This
essay discusses both perspectives and why I believe that the arguments for seeking solutions are stronger.
There are two main reasons why people believe that we must be accepting of bad circumstances. Linking Words
First
of all, we often cannot avoid bad situations. Since these situations can’t always be avoided, it is best to accept reality. Linking Words
For instance
, economic downturns can lead to the company we work for going bankrupt and in Linking Words
this
case, we should not feel hard done by if we lose our job. Linking Words
In addition
, unnecessary stress can be caused by dwelling on our current circumstances; if we are accepting of our circumstances, Linking Words
this
can allow us to maintain a positive mood and to continue enjoying our life despite a setback.

However
, others argue that we should have a proactive attitude and find solutions to any negative predicament. The main benefit of Linking Words
this
approach is that it may lead to the use stress, which helps to motivate us to find solutions. Linking Words
For instance
, if we lose our job we should focus on finding a new job to solve the problem of being unemployed. Linking Words
Additionally
, focusing on solutions can divert some of our negative emotions Linking Words
such
as a feeling of bad luck or guilt into more positive emotions Linking Words
such
as feelings of empowerment and our ability to solve our problems.
In conclusion, I believe both sides of the argument have merit. Linking Words
However
, in my perspective, it’s better to focus on finding solutions because it increases the likelihood of solving our problems and maintaining a positive mental attitude, which is far more important than the benefits of avoiding stress through acceptance of our circumstances.Linking Words
