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 there are people who are more diligent in their study and
work
 compared with other members in society. While I acknowledge the benefits one can reap from being hardworking, I believe the drawbacks outweigh the advantages. There are certain key reasons for working and studying hard.
First
, by putting strenuous effort on their
work
, they are gradually getting closer to their goals.
For example
, a worker who
always meet
Suggestion
always meets
 his deadlines would be more likely to get promoted to
high
Suggestion
higher
 positions than the ones who do not.
Moreover
, people who persevere and strive hard for success can take pride in themselves for always trying their best and making the most out of their lives.
Finally
, there are people who are very passionate about their
work
. They are doing it simply because they enjoy the process and the interesting experiences they have while working.
However
, the shortcomings of constant hard
work
 are far more serious. The primary disadvantage is that it may negatively affect people’s
health
. Working extra shifts or studying late at night, they all have
adverse impact
Suggestion
an adverse impact
 on
health
, not to mention the pressure that heavy workloads put on people could cause them mental issues like stress and anxiety.
In addition
, people who are immersed in
work
 all the time cannot maintain a
work
-life balance. They do not have the time needed to care about their relationships and even themselves,
therefore
, they live a lonely and tedious life. Clearly, there is no point pushing ourselves too hard if we could worsen our
health
, our relationships and our lives. To sum up, working hard is advantageous as it helps us realize our dreams and
fulfill

 our desires,
however
, these cannot compensate for our loss of
health
, time and happiness. In my view, it is best to set boundaries on our workload and manage our tasks efficiently, so that we can maintain both productivity and well-being.

    The best way to solve environmental problems is increase the fuel cost? do you agree or disagree?

    Some argue that the most optimal solution to address the global environmental crisis is to increase the fuel price. From my perspective, I would like to refuse this notion as these problems caused by many factors and other approaches will be more effective due to some long-term benefits.

    People should follow the customs and traditions when people start to live in a new country. To what extent do you agree or disagree

    In the modern busy life, there are a large number of immigrants who have been willing to have a comfortable life in other nations. Many advocate that people should conform to the local customs and traditions when they settle in a new country. From my respective, I strongly agree with this idea because of some problems and benefits that people can face with them. There are two important reasons why newcomers should blend into the local culture in the host country. Firstly, the refusal to adapt to host environment would create a cultural barrier for immigrants. This leads to social isolation, which has negative influences on people’s lives. Secondly, it is logical/true that limited knowledge of local customs may result in some illegal actions in the host country and make local/native people unpleased. For instance, in Singapore, one of the cleanest countries in Asia, local residents consider anyone dirty and ill-mannered if they litter the street or spit gum in the public. Newcomers c...

    People today are spending more and more time outside of the home. What are the reasons for this trend? What effects is it having on individuals and society?

    In this contemporary era, no one hardly likes to utilise time with family. It is believed that spending myriad hours outside the accommodation is mostly preferred by a group of individuals. Although, several causes of this phenomenon are hectic schedules and the influence of peer groups which largely disturb the family relations of individuals and distract the younger generation in the community.

    Some people think that some type of criminals should not go to prison, instead they should do unpaid work in the community. To what extent do you agree?

    Variety of crimes are being punished by prison, however some people believe that certain offenders should not be imprisoned ,rather they should do community services. I agree that in some cases, prison may not be the best solution and community work will help them to rehabilitate. The first thing to consider is the young offenders, which are being involved in all type of crimes, can never be put into the prison. This is because the children’s mind can be moulded easily, so before giving them harsh punishment the whole matter should be looked for. For instance, several mobsters force needy kids to do illegal acts for the sake of money, which make them delinquent juveniles. The rest of the life of the youngsters can be saved by teaching them good deeds along with the community works so that they can understand the value of their life. The second thing to be considered is that the drug addicted persons, who are culprit can never be imprisoned. The reason is that they ...
