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

Some believe that it's important to be accepting of negative

circumstances

when they occur

whereas

others emphasise that it is better to try to seek

solutions

in

such

situations.

This

essay discusses both perspectives and why I believe that the arguments for seeking

solutions

are stronger. There are two main reasons why people believe that we must be accepting of bad

circumstances

. First of all, we often cannot avoid bad situations. Since these situations cannot always be avoided it's best to just accept the reality.

For instance

, economic downturns can lead to the company we work for going bankrupt and in

this

case, we should not feel hard done if we lose our job.

In addition

, unnecessary stress can be caused by dwelling on our current conditions. If we are accepting of our

circumstances

this

can allow us to maintain a positive mood and to continue enjoying our life despite a setback

However

, Others argue that we should have a proactive attitude and find

solutions

to any negative predicament. The main benefit of

this

approach is that it may lead to eustress which helps to motivate us to find

solutions

.

For instance

, if we lose our job we should focus on finding a new job to solve the problem of being unemployed.

Additionally

, focusing on the quick fixes can divert some of our negative emotions

such

as a feeling of bad luck or guilt into more positive emotions

such

as a feeling of empowerment in our ability to solve our problems. In conclusion, I believe both sides of the argument have merits.

However

, I believe it's better to focus on finding results because it increases the likelihood of solving our problems and maintaining a positive mental attitude, which is far more important than the benefits of avoiding stress by being accepting of our

circumstances

.
