Doing Things We Don't Like

The most lovely thing to do is doing activities we like and enjoy most. But people say that people should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. I completely agree with that opinion.

There are some conditions when people should do things that they don't like. There are situations where people must force themselves into doing something boring. That's why people couldn't be selfish by only doing things that they like.

As an example, studying is an activity that some people hate. But I'm sure that all of us know that it is a very important activity we must do. Studying has great advantages for our life. The other example is eating healthy foods. Some people assume that most healthy foods always taste bad like rubbish. The same reason as studying, eating healthy foods gives us good effects even though we don't like the taste.

There are a lot of activities we don't like that we must try to enjoy. However, the key is in our mind. Try to keep our mind positive, try to enjoy all good activities. Try to do something not by judging whether we like or dislike, but by considering their advantages. Someday, little by little, we will enjoy something we used to hate.

Eating at Home is Better Than Eating at a Restaurant

Food is an important need for our body, it can produce energy to support our body to do our daily activities. There are some kinds of people who like to enjoy their meal by preparing and eating it at home, while others prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants.

In my opinios, there are about three reasons why people like eating food at restaurants. First, people who are busy and haven't enough time at home or to prepare the meal themselves, so they haven't any choice except buying foods outside.

The second reason is habit or lifestyle. Some people prefer to eat at food stands or restaurants to show their prestige. Restaurant's foods are usually more expensive than cooking at home. So, people will consider them as highclass.

Most teenagers like spending their time outside. They also take their meals outside while hanging out. Teens love to enjoy their meals at the same time as they chat and laugh together with their gangs.

There are various reasons why people eat at restaurants, but from my point of view, the best way to have our meals is by preparing and eating at home. Not only is it cheaper, eating at home is much healthier and safer. Why so? By cooking food on our own, we can control the quality : the cleanliness and also the content of the food. That's why eating at home is much better than eating at restaurant.
