(For my practice for English examination and this might be not my honest opinion.)
The expression “Never, never give up”
Do you agree or disagree? Making efforts is necessary or not?
A few days ago, I saw a book named meaningless efforts and I noticed that people especially in young generation were interested in this book and many of them might think that making efforts and the mind set of keep trying were meaningless. Some people believe that making efforts and keeping trying something aren’t necessary or meaningless for their lives. However, in my case, I agree with this statement for the following two reasons.
To begin with, I think the main purpose of our lives is improving ourselves and without this mind set, we lose the meaning of our lives. For example, I have a favorite Japanese author named Fumihiko Iida. In his books, he explains that the purpose of our lives is improving our souls and after we die, we will be checked our lives by higher souls like angels as if we take examinations bout our lives and proceed next lives again to become more sophisticated humans and souls. Since developing my soul should be my main purpose, making efforts is necessary for me even though it is difficult to overcome.
Secondly, I know that there are many occupations which need a lot of efforts. For instance, I am a professional music composer in Japan. Actually, becoming professional is not easy for me because it might take more than ten years to reach even the beginning of the professional. If you reach the first goal by spending about ten years, we have to improve more our technics to pursue our career in music. It may continue forever. Therefore, I can say that making efforts and keep trying are imperative part of music composers and I know there are other occupation like this. Moreover, especially for musician, there isn’t actual goal because music is art. No one knows the goal and no one can reach final goal of music. Because of that, at least, we need to make effort to approach our final goal as much as I can.
In conclusion, for these two reasons, the main purpose of our lives and there are many occupations which need a lot of effort, I agree with this statement.
