Why We Shouldn T Work To Hard Essay

Americans have a vast amount of debt that causes stress, anxiety, and even sickness. According to the excerpt, "Americans spend almost twice as much on health care per person than people in other advanced nations, suffer more injuries and illnesses, and die younger, the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine reports." This proves that money is indeed an issue in America, and that people are getting so sick that they are losing their lives, due to the fact that they can't afford healthcare.The author feels that Americans should focus more on working hard than any thing else. According to “ Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Work To Hard” it states Americans are caught up in a vicious cycle of “Work-and-spending”. The more that they spend
depending on if they are spending the money the wrong way can lead to debt. Money is something all Americans work very well and hard to earn. Some people may feel as if they are working hard, but in reality, they're not working hard enough to meet their means. Constantly working is a neccesaty in order to make enough money to pay bills, cover healthcare, and have money left over to spend with their famlies. Referring to the beginning of the essay, where the author states that he watched a Cadillac commercial– he says that people of America work hard, just to buy "stuff".
My question is, is this a bad thing? What else could we possibly spend money on if we don't spend it on metarealistic things? Even if we put our hard earned money into investments, most investments will lead to materalistic items such as cars, houses, or stocks of a company which could be liquidated, but turned right back into money and invested again. There's a process in which money continuously goes around in a circle, that could be referred to "Circle of Theory". The Circle of Theory is the process in which something of value is in the middle, but there are small things that are completed around it in order to obtain the goal, or the item in the middle of the circle. If money is located in the middle of the circle, the things that are needed to obtain it are, hard work, integrity, stress, and motivation. All of these are listed in the excerpt above, but they aren't looked upon in a positive way. Stress makes people have anxiety which forces people to want to retreat, or go the oppisite way. On the contrary, stress could motivate one to try harder to obtain their goal in a easier way that goes the oppisite way of
anxiety. This is how the cirle works– there are endless oppertunities and possibilities.
