Accepting vs. Improving Bad Situations
IELTS Writing Task 2
Response: Our lives are like a roller coaster which is filled of astonishing and dismal moments. While a group of people is of the opinion that we should accept that times of difficulties are an inseparable part of life, another cluster believes we should strive a lot to overcome one hurdle after another. In my perspective, the harder we try, the better life can be expected.
On the one hand, some opine, escaping the reality is not logical. There are some unpredictable issues which are out of our control. For example, Iran is suffering from an economic basket case, and thanks to inflation, recession and sanctions, the situation has gotten worse. This way, many businesses and corporations are about to go bankrupt. Many suffer from a shortage of state-run occupations. So, it is not fair to put all the blame on the shoulders of individuals to develop an independent life. This may affect their mental health negatively, something like self-pity.
On the other hand, overcoming challenges is what success is all about. Hardships can motivate us to progress better and faster. It makes a contribution to increase creativity, initiative and mental power. For example, those who suffer from a lack of government jobs can run their own business. This way, not only do they fulfil the sense of accomplishment in their life but also it contributes to GDP of country. Moreover, difficulties play a very significant role in learning new lessons. For example, those who do not have a clue about money management, will improve their skills and knowledge about financial affairs. This leads to having a satisfied life during moribund economy.
In conclusion, although accepting the reality can reduce our tension, attempting to achieve our desired goals can make our lives much more meaningful and purposeful.
