Many people work long hours, leaving very little time for leisure activities. Does this situation have more advantages or more disadvantages?
Nowadays, all over the world, working long
hours
in spite of spending time
on leisure activities is becoming very popular. While
some people think the advantages of working long hours
exist, other people think there are disadvantages of working long hours
. From my point of view, I think the first perspective is the most persuasive, for the reason discussed below.
On the one hand, as far as the advantages of working long hours
are concerned. Firstly
, to a large extent, especially in modern times, no matter where in the work
you live, you can be more efficient at work
, due to
the fact
that you work
more than your workmates, resulting in the fact
that you can get a promotion. In addition
, and most importantly for me, you could save more money for your future projects leading to the fact
that you will be able to do whatever you want. For example
, you could afford a house or open a company.
On the other hand
, there are reasons for working long hours
has many disadvantages. First and foremost, by and large, all through your life, you cannot have time
for yourself due to
the fact
that you spend too much time
at work
, leading to abandoning your leisure activities. Secondly
, in general, when your work
is omnipresent, you should feel more stressed resulting in the fact
that you become angry and tired.
In conclusion, while
some people think that working long hours
has many advantages, other says that working long hours
in spite of spending time
on leisure activities are better. However
, in my opinion, the first perspective is the most persuasive, to some extent, for the above-mentioned reasons.Submitted by tony.vantroo on
