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 better to try and improve such situations. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.

Every coin has two sides. To accept an undesirable event or to do your best to change it is the current contention. In my opinion, we not only need to take on the awful incident, but
also
need to analyse it and make a wise decision about to overcome it or not. To embrace an unpleasant situation may not an adverse thing because it is likely to bring you some benefits.
For example
, the university I dreamed turned me down while another
one
that was my
second
option sent me an offer with a scholarship. Disappointed as I am, to accept the
second
one
means I would save a large amount of tuition fee.
Thus
, the unfavourable thing can bring some benefits and it depends on how you judge it.
However
, an alternative method is to persevere with my dream and never give up. To achieve it means I have to study at the High School
one
more year to gain satisfactory grades so that I have a chance to enter my desirable university.
Besides
, it means that my family has to afford
one
more year tuition fee if I choose to study again. In
such
a scenario, the preferable option I think is to go to the university
that is
not my
first
choice because I can save money and time. In conclusion, to make a wise decision variously needs to consider its specific conditions. As I mentioned before, whether to accept or challenge the circumstance depends on how you examine it as we have to live with imperfection.
