大家来拍吧~~不要留情呐,也快考试了……
There has been a controversial debate about the topic that whether people should live life at a slower pace. Some people oppose to leading a slow pace life because they note that human beings should struggle to develop themselves constantly in order to survive. However, on the other hand, others’ opinion which I cannot agree more shows that it is better to enjoy most of the things in life and therefore slowing down paces is a sound life style.
Firstly, once people are not urged to do things like making decisions, more time is available for people to think since thinking is a significant activity of human being. There are always someone saying that think twice before do it, which means careful mental process is fundamental to following actions. At this point, I note that people don’t have to rush to do everything but think over the situations and the possible consequences before taking action. For example, when people have to make choice, cautiously balancing the benefits and flaws is critical. When I plot my future career, I have to confront the problem that whether I should go abroad for further education or I just hunt for a job and lead a simple life. Different choice leads to different following actions. It actually took me a long time to decide which is my preference and finally I decided to go abroad. Then, I began to be in all the necessary process of going abroad including preparing for TOEFL and GMAT.
Secondly, it’s not bad to enjoy life while we spare no effort to dig with study or work, which ask us to live life with a slower pace. I hold the idea that what people should pursue for lifetime is happiness and content rather than status, power or money. Someone may comment that sense of content can be gained from owning higher status, more power and money, however, the true happiness derives from something else such as spending happy time with family and friend, enjoying the nature or traveling, and so on. Entertainment and relaxation, of course, will slow down the progress of developing one’s successful career. Whereas, what is invaluable to me is leading a happy life instead of a boring and tough one. In vacations, I’d like to travel to another place and get more practical knowledge and skill of life.
All in all, slowing down the pace never stand for leading a lazy life. Only if people learn how to enjoy life, they can catch the sense of living successfully and then be motivated to go on studying or working hard.
