Prompt: Is it important for people to spend time outdoor and to learn to appreciate natural environment?
Nature is perhaps the greatest gift God has ever granted us. The belief that one should invest time to appreciate nature is an absolute truth. Although many have constrained schedules throughout the day and refuse to spend an extra hour outdoor, people who are exposed to nature acquire health benefits. Examples that prove this fact are my experiences at Central Park and Dr. Lee’s article on business networking.
During the sunny summer of 2015, I was drowned with copious amount of SAT practice exams, college essays, and networking events. After spending countless hours sitting at my unorganized study table, I began to develop migraines and sleep disorders. Thus, my work ethics were hampered by the excessive tasks during the day. However, during mid July, I called up an old friend from 9th grade to spend a day at Central Park. At first, I thought I was procrastinating by diverging from my daily tasks, but I soon realized that biking down the declined road freed my stress. Later that night, I sensed melatonin rushing through my brain, mainly due to the natural sense and passionate appreciation of Central Park. Had I continued to stay at home and work on my personal endeavors, I would have remained depressed and deprive throughout the day and night.
In March 2015, Forbes released a business article, by Dr.Lee, stating that “Your network is your networth”. Basically, getting outdoor experiences by connecting with people and opening new frontiers in life will ultimately lead to greater opportunities. While most tend to think that inclusively working on a project may enhance one’s thinking, the exterior of the comfort zone is where all magic ignites.
Conclusively, the notion that spending time outdoor is absolutely significant in improving lives of individuals. It is only by moving outside of the comfort zone and changing work habits can people fully achieve success.
