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 views and give your own opinion.

We are faced with different kinds of
situations
in life and some of them are considered bad
situations
. These bad
situations
include
employment
challenges and the common problem of having enough money.
People
's responses to bad
situations
can be very different. Some accept
this
while others try to improve themselves by seeking better
employment
with more rewards. I believe that sometimes accepting
this
is necessary, while in other circumstances it is good to try and improve yourself to avoid
this
. One of the reasons
people
can accept
this
is that they are not ambitious, they do not have the passion to seek a better life. In many cases, they are cynical and simply lazy. There are other
situations
,
however
, where for some
people
it is necessary to accept
this
because of their religious views,
for example
. They are raised to accept their destiny even if it means poor
employment
and little money. There are others who,
for instance
, do not worry about an unsatisfactory job or the amount of money they make, because all they want to do is be with their family. Other
people
who want to improve their situation seek additional educational opportunities including technical training, enhancing their skill-set leading to higher remuneration. I believe
this
is a very positive reaction to
this
. Some become very proactive and start applying for new and better jobs
instead
of feeling cynical and lazy.
Furthermore
,
this
can lead to improved wages
also
.
Therefore
, these efforts to improve a bad situation relate to the broader idea of a person changing his/her behaviour to adapt and overcome many different challenges. In conclusion, while there are some valid reasons for accepting
this
, overall, it is better to try and improve
this
.
However
,
this
does not necessarily mean that you do not accept
this
, because while accepting it you
also
can strive to improve it.
Thus
combining both acceptance and improvement. There are many
people
who have unpleasant
employment
but they accept that
employment
because they are using it to fund additional education so as to improve their
employment
.
