Can someone grade my essay please?
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
No one knows how the future will turn out. Faced with this uncertainty, some people choose to live as though the only thing that matters is now. Instead of planning for the future, they devote their energy to enjoying the present. How misguided! They should spend their time today preparing for the future. Knowledge, skills, and resources they work to acquire now will serve them long after the pleasures of today are forgotten.
Assignment: Is preparing for the future more important than enjoying the present? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
ESSAY
Human beings are constantly evolving and progressing in the path of development. Human beings have always wanted to advance in life and always seeked for a brighter and robust future. It is quite essential that we spend our present time to plan out how we are going to shape and mould the future. If human beings have always thought about enjoying the present we would have not even advanced through all the various age’s, we would have been wandering in the early age.
God has gifted mankind with the greatest weapon in the universe that is creativity. If man was satisfied with the present great scientists like Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Alexander Graham Bell ,Thomas Alva Edison and many other great scientists would have not even emerged. If Newton didn’t get the question of why an apple falls from a tree and continued his life like everyone else, so many concepts like gravitation, laws of motion, light and so on would have not been discovered. If Thomas Alva Edison was satisfied with lamps and torches he would have not even got the idea to invent an electric bulb which is completely a basic need in today’s world. If Alexander Graham Bell were happy with communication through post and direct interference, he would have not even invented the telephone, which helped in connecting the entire world and transformed the entire world a big village.
I feel that God has created human beings to accomplish something and work towards a change. If we didn’t spend time for enriching our knowledge, skills and planning for the future we would not been living in the modern world of technology where we live in luxury perennial homes, and use ultra fast means of communication and transportation and hifi technology where machines do all our work. Since I was a young boy I always wanted to achieve something in life. I did my best at school, tried to enhance my skills and knowledge and work for a better future. Even now I am taking college prep courses to prepare to tackle the world and get into the college of my dreams and accomplish not only my goals but also to take mankind forward.
However my conclusion is that planning for the future does not necessarily mean forgetting the present and spend our time dreaming about the future. If means that we utilize our present time to mould ourselves in the best way, and of course we should enjoy what we do. Without enjoying our passion it’s not possible to accomplish anything in life. Hence people should not only enjoy their life and passion but work towards success and change!
