| I believe that people should sometimes do the things they don’t enjoy. There are a lot of reasons why I believe this. Although people like to do things they enjoy more, but we can not always easily chose what to do. Sometimes we are forced to do something and sometimes doing some stuffs have benefits for us. First, it is a fact that there are many situations in life in which we have to do the things we don’t enjoy. So, we are forced to do those things. For supporting example one needs to look no further than a child who is forced to clean his room by his mother. Although he does not enjoy cleaning his room, but he has to do it. One might argue that when he does not enjoy it why he should do it? My answer is because of her mother. I think he has to clean his room to help his mother. Secondly, there are some situations that people don’t like to do something but it has benefits for them. In these ocassions they usually go for it. For example, when one goes to work, it is very likely that he does not enjoy his work. Or he enjoys watching TV more. So, why does he go to work? Because he wants to earn money, and he knows that working has benefits for him. It is also possible that one doesn’t like his job and he prefers to have another career. But, he can’t find a job in the field that he likes. I think should do his current job. I believe so because it is not right to tell his family that he can not earn money only because he does not like his job. It is selfishness to tell your family you don’t have money because you don’t like to go to work. In my own life, there were a lot of situations that I chose to do what I don’t enjoy. For example, once I was out with some of my friends. We wanted to go to the cinema, but we were not sure which movie we are going to watch. When we received at the cinema, I realized that most of my friends like to see the movie which I had seen it before. I didn’t like to watch that movie once again, and I knew that I would not enjoy it. At last, I decided to accept to watch that movie again, because I wanted my friends to be happy and I didn’t want to split the group in to two groups. We had gone there together and it was not nice to leave them in the middle of the program. To sum up, I believe that people should sometimes do the things they don’t enjoy. Their reasons can be making another person happy, being forced to do something. Or one might do something that is beneficial for him/her. |

| Why do we do extraordinary things? Is it because we love doing it? There are could be a lot of reasons for that. Take for instance, a student who wanted to be part of a fraternity. He has to first pass the initiation process---experience pain, public humiliation to prove that he is worthy to become a member of their organization. It does not mean he enjoys doing it, he just have to show that he is strong, dedicated, and definitely, not a quitter! Another example are those in the military. They have to leave their families behind to fight for our freedom. They can easily tell their officers, "I can't go, because it's my kid's birthday or someone is sick," but that's what they signed up for---- to serve the country no matter what. We have to thankful for them. Moreover, if we want to achieve our dream, we have to sacrifice our time and energy for it. This may mean we have to endure long hours in the library studying, or staying up late in the hospital to babysit a patient. To be successful in any field, one has to be hardworking, dedicated, and passionate to his job. I can attest to that. My husband is an ER doctor. He works nights, and basically just sleeps during the day. Although I miss his presence, I know he is saving lives, and I am proud of him! Whatever our reasons are for doing something extraordinary, we're doing this because it makes us feel good, that he have done something, be it for the country, loved one, or just for oneself. |

| As a human being, we have to make a lot of choices every day. These are the choices at school, at home at work etc. Many of these choices are what we prefer or rather what we like to do. However there are some which we do not really like, but have to do. Well, I compeletely agree with this statement that we must sometimes do things that we do no really like doing. My reasons to support this are as follows. Firstly, as the famous saying goes," In order to gain some we have to lose some". I believe that in life we have to face hardships in order to achieve something bigger and better. On road to achieve success we might not always be happy. Many a times we have to take tasks or decisions that we dont really want to take up but have to. Sometimes when you pick a bunch of roses you have to be ready to be pricked by thorns.A good example is, having an examination right during the time when there is a wedding or a family function. one might have to sit at home and study while others enjoy. One will miss out on the fun now but surely when the exam results arrive, the fact that they sacrificed their enjoyment will pay off in the form of good marks. One does not reach the peak of his career by constantly doing things that he prefers to do . Compromises play an important part. A good example, if one has to get a higher rank or recognition in an office,then, even if the boss or subordinates are bad or lazy, that person has to continue without a complaint . Sometime colleagues may not be cooperative but as a team member or a leader one has to fill in the gaps or problens caused by them. However, at the end hardwork pays off. One more important thing is that, as a teamleader one has to give credit to many people even if they didn't make significant contributions. Nevertheless, all this pays off eventually when one get's respect for this behaviour and attitude. I love swimming. I remember how I had to get up everyday and practice in the wee hours of mornings before attending my school. I didn't like getting up so early but I had to do my practice in the pool. Even though, at that time I didn't like it, it paid off very well when I got many trophies in swimming competitions at the national level. I believe that today any sports person, entertainer or celebrity also goes through the same stage, but eventually all these sacrifices pay off very well. Thus I completely agree with the fact that we sometimes have to do things that we do not enjoy in order to be successful in life. |

| The human being, as a rational creature, has developed mechanisms to adapt to its environment. The process to achieve success in this adaptation often involves planning activities for a future reward besides the fact that some activities aren’t joyful. People sometimes do not do things that they enjoy doing, that is what differentiate us form other animals. Over millions of years of evolution we have achieved the reason and intelligence to decide over our impulses becoming a civilized society. We humans can take control over the impulse of urinating when we aren’t near a bathroom, or we can plan our meals to certain hours even though we are hungry. We have described simple and rather primitive examples of taking over control that illustrate how people often do not do things that they want to do. However, over our life we face situations where we have to even do things that we do not enjoy doing. When we face a dangerous situation we sometimes have to do things that we do not enjoy. For example with health issues, a 60 year old woman that has heart disease and hypertention will have to exercise every day and change her diet even though she don’t like to. We also face situations where we look forward to achieve our goals and often require us to make sacrifices even though we don`t enjoy doing them. Moreover the we cannot leave behind our emotional character that make us do things that we do not enjoy. A caring father will stay up late waiting for his child to stop crying or will work extra hours to go on a vacation. Life is about sacrifices, achieving goals and getting rewards in such way we will look back and be proud and happy about our life. |

| All we do in our life are not exactle as we enjoy. I strongly agree with this statement that people should do things which are never interested in, and they do because of their need, in view of routines, and as passing their time. First, people should do things in daily life because of their need which never enjoy. For example, some people never like to work but they must come along, though they do not enjoy their job. Actually their needs and life expense make them to put 8 hours a day on earning money. some women never like to work in hard jobs, but different occasions make them to bear. Second, some do things just for sake of passing one stage of life, like students, and exactly like me. I never enjoy my school. I found it boring all day long. But I should do that time without enjoy. I actually believed at home, I can learn more. Finally, some do things to just pass their time and have something to do. My father is a good example of such a thing. He works in a book shop as a cashier without any reason just passing his time. After he got retired. he understood, home makes him sick; so, he chose a job to not be at home, and to be in contact with others. In conclusion, in our life there are several things we never enjoy doing. Because they got our freedom, calmness, and ever our precious time, but we oblige to do so. |
