Rush:
Why You Need and Love the Rat Race
The author Todd Buchholz believes that there is a connection
between competition and happiness. He believes that happiness can be derived
from rushing around. He says: “We feel better chasing the tails, even if we
never catch. The hunt makes us happier.”
The “rat race” seems to shape the economy and helps us to
feel better. Stress seems to be good for us, and retiring can make us feel stupid.
Also, the author argues that the hardest-working people are happiest because
they could go on more vacations. In fact these are all extremely claims.
I am one of these people who love to leave the so-called rat
race behind quite often. I’m happiest in peaceful places, looking over serene
waters. That is my idea of the perfect vacation. But not everyone is like me.
Most people prefer to be in the middle of noisy places, competition, and where they
are always rushing from one point to another point.
I believe that we do need people who will be content not to
join the rat race all the time.

I believe that almost everyone’s idea of the perfect vacation is similar to what you have written in your post. The problem is that you are specifying that it would be perfect as a vacation. It is a totally different matter when we talk about the other part of the year during which you do not have a vacation. If all the year was as quiet as your “perfect vacation” then the “perfect vacation” itself would lose its peculiarity and would not sound too much fascinating. The more stressful the working weeks, the more peaceful are the vacations that follow those weeks.
YanıtlaSilI totally agree with Indrit. In fact exist poeple which like to pass all the year with kind of vacation "peacefull, quite" but the problem is that in the end everybody will be boring about this vacation. In this world when the time run more faster then us you need to have this vacation for sometimes. Then when you try to enter in the routine your main focus is to run fast because the time is faster.
YanıtlaSilI agree with your idea that “rat race” seems to shape the economy unfortunately. Because i think that the rat racing people are the once that at all they are not as happy as people which make a peaceful life. I sustain your that we do need people who will be content not to join the rat race all the time.
YanıtlaSildid enjoy reading this book, and it certainly gave me reason to think about certain things. There is much room for improvement, but this book is worth reading. It can help you better evaluate your own motivations, and those of others, related to everything from career advancement to charitable giving. It can also help you reevaluate the potential effectiveness of governmental regulations and taxes.
