WORK BEFORE PLEASURE

-


      The above statement, ‘work  before pleasure’ is a statement that is to be the back of the mind of everybody, especially the young ones in the society and the students in Nigeria in particular.

      I order to know that the above statement has a good meaning, we can ask ourselves a question that ‘why do people always say work before pleasure, people believe thet it is better to work first and later enjoy pleasure I life. In order to understand the statement, there is the need to know what is meant by work and what is meant by pleasure.

       While work can simply be defined as doing something that involves physical or mental effort in order to earn a living or to secure a meal ticket, pleasure is a sta8 of feelings happy or satisfied or be in a position of enjoyment.

        Considering the two words that were defined above, it is better for somebody to work first before enjoying pleasure.

        Once again, I want to direct this statement to  students. As a student, you should know that work before pleasure should be watch ward. All I am sa6 is that whatever a student aimed at becoming in life, he/ she should work for such aim and objective to be accomplished.

     For example, a student may be aiming at becoming a medical doctor, an engineer, a lawyer, or an accountant depending on the area of interest of the students concered. There is nothing bad in aspiring to become something good in life, especially in academic, but one needs to work for such aspiration in order to achieve the much desired goal.

        It is a pity that, today, most of students in schools; especially in our own locality here do not realize the importance of working before pleasure. Instead, these set of students believe that they can just enjoy pleasure at the early part of their life, and they neglect hard work which is necessary to form the basis of pleasure they want to enjoy.

           At this junction, I want to advise our youths ( students in particular) to turn over a new leaf and start to do what is right at the right time. 

           I conclusion, I want to emphasize that work before pleasure is better than pleasure before work. Our young ones should endeavor to work very hard for their aspirations to come into reality so that they will be able to sit back and enjoy their pleasure.

           Success: A Deeply Emotional Journey Success—it's a word that stirs hope, ambition, pride, and sometimes even fear. To many, it is a dream chased with passion, effort, and countless sleepless nights. Yet, true success is not just about wealth, status, or accolades. It is an emotional journey, deeply personal and shaped by our experiences, struggles, and values. Success begins with a vision—a quiet voice within us that dares to dream. It’s that feeling in your chest when you imagine something greater for yourself, whether it’s a career you’re passionate about, a family you want to build, or a personal mountain you long to climb. That vision fuels motivation and becomes the anchor during difficult times. But success is rarely a straight path. It's filled with detours, disappointments, and moments when you question if you’re good enough or strong enough to keep going. One of the most profound emotions tied to success is fear—not just fear of failu...
