A school of thought holds that work plays the most vital part in people’s life, and hence the failure of the career would make life meaningless. While this notion is valid to a certain extent, I would contend that whether the meaning of life could be discovered depends on various factors other than a successful career path.
The most advantageous factor of modern technologies is their ability to promote learning and skills development for children. To explain further, there is a variety of educational apps and games that can help children learn mathematics, science, and language skills in a simple, fun, and engaging manner. Additionally, video games have the potential to teach children problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and hand-eye coordination which is essential for their work and study. From prior knowledge, in most developed countries, youngsters are encouraged to interact with technology since the first year of primary education.
On the other hand, I strongly believe that the success of a career is not the sole determinant contributing to a meaningful life in light of a host of other important factors. The first and foremost one is health since people’s health tends to be largely ignored when work is put too much emphasis on. As a result, overworking could result in detrimental health problems and thus deprives people of time spent on other recreational activities to enjoy life. Additionally, focusing too much on how to achieve success at the workplace can take a heavy toll on family relations as hectic work schedules may cause isolation between parents and offspring. Therefore, children are likely to be affected by toxic influences from their peers and media consumption, consequently resulting in increased worry among parents.
In conclusion, notwithstanding the pros of leading a successful career path, I am convinced that it is not the key factor in how to make life meaningful, and it would be optimal for employees to achieve work-life balance.
