Some people believe that it is best to accept a bad situation, such as an unsatisfactory job or shortage of money. Others argue that it is better to try and improve such situations. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion
Some believe that it's important to be accepting of negative 
circumstances
 when they occur whereas
 others emphasise that it is better to try to seek solutions
 in such
 situations. This
 essay discusses both perspectives and why I believe that the arguments for seeking solutions
 are stronger.
There are two main reasons why people believe that we must be accepting of bad circumstances
. First of all, we often cannot avoid bad situations. Since these situations cannot always be avoided it's best to just accept the reality. For instance
, economic downturns can lead to the company we work for going bankrupt and in this
 case, we should not feel hard done  if we lose our job.In addition
, unnecessary stress can be caused by dwelling on our current conditions. If we are accepting of our circumstances
 this
 can allow us to maintain a positive mood and to continue enjoying our life despite a setback
However
, Others argue that we should have a proactive attitude and find solutions
 to any negative predicament. The main benefit of this
 approach is that it may lead to eustress which helps to motivate us to find solutions
.For instance
, if we lose our job we should focus on finding a new job to solve the problem of being unemployed. Additionally
, focusing on the quick fixes can divert some of our negative emotions such
 as a feeling of bad luck or guilt into more positive emotions such
 as a feeling of empowerment in our ability to solve our problems.
In conclusion, I believe both sides of the argument have merits. However
, I believe it's better to focus on finding results because it increases the likelihood of solving our problems and maintaining a positive mental attitude, which is far more important than the benefits of avoiding stress by being accepting of our circumstances
