Do You Agree or Disagree with the Following Statement: Your Job Has More Effect on Your Happiness Than Your Social Life Does.
If job and social life were two entirely independent elements, the assertion that my job influences my personal happiness more than does my social life would be well accepted. Unfortunately, in too many days, and in too many circumstances, my job and my social life entangle together, although they are not like the warps and weft of my personal textile of happiness.
My job renders me immense happiness day and night, in spring and in winter as well.

I firmly believe that whatever the job is, it is significant to my mental and menial life to the Lord and my God. I work for the glory of the Lord and my God rather than, as the multitude mortals do, for the sake of the Gold. Thus, wherever I am, whatever I do, I am happy.

My friends, I say that my job gives me immense happiness because I love life, my life and the life of friends and foes. I love my parents and daughter and my brothers and sisters, and I even love those who persecuted me. My way to love people is to do a perfect job.
Similarly, my social life ranks the same as my job in terms of the happiness rendering. What is your social life? The social life, essentially, is to talk and communicate in whatever forms with others, the people as humble as
