Discuss both views and state your opinion?

 INTRODUCTION

The more you earn, the less you value other activities
which keeps you and your family happy is a norm accepted
by most of the earning people of the world.

But is it an acceptable strategy or the opposite will be

better to spend our lives. I personally assume that a
balance is required between the two.

This essay will analyse this situation using the examples

of Oxford University research and Time magazine survey
in order to demonstrate points and support claims.
 PARAGRAPH 1
Mission
On the one hand, people concentrate more on earning
livelihood therefore compromising on themselves, there
friends or family members.

Additionally, such kind of people think that become rich is

the ultimate goal of their life so that they can purchase
Vision every happiness of the world.

For example, when people looked at the lives of superstars

and analyse their earnings, they idealise that the only way to
achieve such fame is to get wealthy.
Values
So, it is clear from this that people believe in the power of
wealth rather than keeping in touch with the family
members or friends which they consider a useless activity.
 PARAGRAPH 2
On the other hand, there are some who criticise the
above mentioned view by saying that leisure moments are
preferable, and would not be compromised in any scenario.

Furthermore, they think that we are here in this world to

enjoy its beauties and comforts and we can’t purchase
everything especially our families or precious friends.

For instance, it is commonly seen that people who become

more workaholic easily get diseases like high blood
pressure or diabetes as compared to those who realise

75%
the importance of other activities. Earth is the third
planet from the
Sun
From this survey, it is clear that we can buy properties
but wealth of love is not purchasable by any worldly
resources until or unless you don’t show interest in them.
 CONCLUSION

To conclude, I personally believe that leisure

and earning both are important factors to live
a balanced life and we cannot ignore any factor
as it is explained in both examples.

So if a person does justice in between spare

activities and business deals, he will live a more
balanced life.
