"It is sometimes important for people to do things that they do not enjoy do #1 (permalink) Fri Apr 09, 2010 15:07 pm   "It is sometimes important for people to do things that they do not enjoy do
 

I would appreciate your reply very much.

Do you agree or disagree? "It is sometimes important for people to do things that they do not enjoy doing."

In life, there are situations when people have to do things that they do not really enjoy doing. In my opinion, it is essential part of our lives, and we all need to devote attention to our obligations and responsibilities.
First of all, everyone has his or her crucial responsibilities, such as being a daughter or a son, or being a married person. Although there are many enjoyable things connected with these obligations, such as spending time with our significant ones or receiving help or some advice from them, there can be a number of not very pleasant things. For example, one ought to take care of his retired parents as a response to their past contribution to his life. Another example of such responsibility can be a talk with a wife being depressed, or awakening early in the morning to go to work. Despite the fact that all these commitments might be not very enjoyable, they add to out lives a sense of fullness and harmony. We all need to give something in order to get a feedback.
Second, I believe that such things are given to us to develop ourselves and work on our drawbacks. There is no limit where we can stop growing and perfect ourselves. From my experience, in university I did not enjoy translating which was part of my mandatory curriculum but I did it again and again, and finally I learned how to do it pretty well. So now I just feel grateful for that obstacle because it taught me a lot. I think the same could be stated about any experience that at first seemed to be not very interesting and involving but later turned out to a useful one.
To summarize, I would say that doing things that are not enjoyable is very important to succeed in life and be fair with our family and friends. Above, we can always learn how to make these things more enjoyable to us. Doesn’t it sound optimistic?

I didn't need to read this through. The first paragraph told me it would be near perfect.
