Q. Work is the most important element in life and in relation to this, it is said and believed by many that life without a satisfying job is meaningless. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Some people say that work is worship and career is the core of life. These statements reflect the high importance that individuals are usually attached to their work these days. However, I differ from this and believe that there is far more to life than just a satisfactory job. I will cast light on my ideas of disagreement in the following writing.
To begin with, no two people are alike and for a lot of people, including me, work is not the only thing that matters. For instance, becoming a nun may not be a very satisfying career options for people but for Mother Teresa, it was all that made her life meaningful and happy. Likewise, for a working mother, the most meaningful achievement might not be her job but the happiness and health of her baby. She may want to surrender everything in order to not miss any part of her child’s life. This shows that all people have their own ideas and priorities.
Moving further, some things in life are priceless. The relationships that we have, the love and affection of our family and the happiness we feel in the company of near and dear ones is more precious than job satisfaction. Old couples living in small houses and looking so content and happy with life even if they have not had very successful careers is a common sight. This is because they are glad to be with each other and experience those beautiful things which no amount of money can ever buy. Another thing that is more important than a well paid and satisfactory job or anything else is good health. It is well known that health is wealth and when it is lost, everything is lost. No matter how prestigious or satisfactory job we have, bad health makes everything worthless.
To wrap up, I would say that job is only a part of life and not the measure of how meaningful life is. A job is only something and not everything and that is, why, people should look at the more important things in life to have worthwhile and enjoyable experiences.
POINTS TO REMEMBER:
Work is worship // Career is a very important aspect of one’s life. // However, there is a lot more to life than just a satisfying job. // One may not have a very reputed career but may have an influence on many, example Mother Teresa. // Other things in life are priceless like relationships and health // Health is wealth, nothing can be possible without good health.
