Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situationsuch 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 opinion.

Different
people
have different beliefs about certain situations. Some see half full, the other
people
see half empty. Same idea for bad situations. Some
people
think it's better to be satisfied with what they already have, like a dissatisfied
job
or lack of money. For some
people
, it's important to appreciate what they've had. It's less challenging and more able to predict. Better to have a bad
one
than nothing at all. For some others, accepting these is unacceptable,
life
is short and full of struggles.
One
has to try his best in order to embrace the
life
he wants. Only saying yes to all issues is meaningless and a waste of time. Personally, I agree with the ones who challenge themselves more and would like to try harder to make some improvements. Staying where we are and taking what
life
throws to us is relatively an easy option. All we need to do is to sit here and hope for the best. It's a comfort zone that even we don't feel comfortable inside. But taking another way, by taking adventure may very likely
