Leaning with Intent

Work and Entertainment

Many teachers and parents argue that teenagers should watch more educational TV, rather than playing video games, or watching funny videos on YouTube. I think that the best approach to life is to have a balance. Watching educational TV might be beneficial, but if a person does nothing else, it will also not be a good idea. That is because there has to be a balance in life between work and entertainment. There are more and more people these days who overwork themselves. They do not have enough entertainment in life, and eventually get depressed. There has to be balance maintained between reading books, watching educational TV shows, and having fun in general. Playing a video game, as long as it is a fulfilling experience, can result in a lot of satisfaction and fun. Like I said, depression is on the rise in developed countries, and it is a real issue which has to be addressed. While I may not have all of the solutions to this problem, I think that resting a lot, having fun, spending time with family and friends, and enjoying life in general is the way to go. Remember not to work too much, unless you really enjoy your work. Surfing the Web can be a lot of fun, so why not visit your favorite website more often?
