In education and employment, some people work harder than others. Why do some people work harder? Is it always a good thing to work hard?

#education #employment #people #work
It is true that some individuals are more studious and workaholic in comparison with other members in society.
Although
 it can be beneficial for them in reaching their goals, I think that it can affect people’s health and social life adversely. There are several reasons behind some people’s being hardworking and one of them is for having better living conditions. Some employees
work
 extra shifts in order to earn more money. They believe that with the extra income earned, they can buy comforts for themselves and their families.
In addition
, most newly employed workers tend to
work
 for long hours than others to reach the target which is set by their employers in order to secure their job. They are worried that if they fail to reach their goal, they can be replaced by more competent people. Along with positive sides, there are
also
 negative aspects of working hard.
First
 of all, extensive working hours can lead to stress and fatigue.
As a result
 of
this
, people’s
work
 performance drop and it has a huge effect on their way to success.
For example
, after a long working day almost no one is interested in continuing to
work
 at home, because everyone needs a rest.
Furthermore
, due to overload of
work
 and odd working hours, people do not give time to their family.
Consequently
, arguments may arise between partners in creating trouble in their relationship. To summarize, it is evident that hard
work
 allows people to achieve their career goals and earn more money.
However
, in my opinion, working hard, neglecting one's health and family is never a risk worth taking.
