opic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People are busy doing so many things at a time, so they cannot do anything well.
There are so many people around that reinforce the thought that people are simply just too busy for their own good, just like a young man may work in a company and at the same time, try to get his master’s degree in a university. Many people argue that it is the behavior of being too much of a multi-tasker that makes people fail in doing things well. However, from my perspective, people cannot do anything well not simply because they are busy dealing with so many affairs at a time. The real reasons are that nowadays, people are always distracted from their work by some meaningless social activities and people even don’t know which thing should be mainly focus on. Then the failure follows.
In modern society, people are easily trapped in time-consuming social activities which directly make them lose time to attend the things that should be done well. A young businessman may still want to pursue a better degree in the university. However, some totally helpless social activities, such as parties, weddings, and balls, waste so much time and become the major obstacles to succeed for the young person. A real example in my life is my cousin, Wei. He became a part-time postgraduate student five years ago. In my opinion, he should spare no effort on both his job and his study. On the contrary, he loved to join in many parties helped nothing in his major task. That is why he could not graduate after five years. What’s worse, he had achieved nothing in his work in those years. So, an ambitious man should control themselves when they are invited to some social activities and finish their tasks well.
In addition, people nowadays don’t know which thing is of importance and which thing is not, which cause their failures in many cases. I insist that as long as people know which thing should be put more effort into and which thing should not, they can still succeed even though they are busy doing so many things at a time. Li, one of my friends, was well-known for his versatility when we were university students because he also dealt with many NGO affairs in four years. However, to my big surprise, he was busy helping the NGOs and he worked not as hard as other students. Finally the clever boy failed in the degree examinations, the consequence of which is that he had to spend one more year in university to get his bachelor’s degree. I was so sure that the main job in his student career was studying but not working. He should be able to do all things well if he could put studying on the first place although he was fond of doing some NGO work.
In sum, doing many things at a time should not be blamed as the main cause of people’s failures. I believe the things will become better if contemporary people can realize what kind of things should always have priority and keep themselves away from the invaluable social activities. (511 words)
