Sometimes people have to do things they do not like or enjoy doing it. They do it because they know that it will bring them good or take away bad things. While some people do not like this approach and only do what they enjoy, as a consequence, they face a lot of trouble for their actions. Personaly, sometimes I do thing that I do not like, but I am sure it is for my best.
Things that people sometimes have to do even if they do not like vary from different obligations to their children because they know that they are their responsibilites, to taking medicine that tastes bad but they know it will cure them. The driving force for doing these things though it is resented, is the strong belief of the poeple that it will have good consequences; bring them good things as succeeding an exam or making money for living, or take away bad things such as curing a disease, or preventing a bad influence on their children, whithout this strong belief, people will not force themselves into these situations.
While some people may argue that they should only do what they enjoy, and not doing what they do not enjoy, they only delay the hard dicision they have to make, and they make it harder for them. As most of these non-enjoyable things are obligations and duties we have to do, not doing it either means having to do it later and it will be even more hard to do it, or not doing it at all and suffering the bad consequences, and only then people regret not doing it earlier, which is the case when a student quits studing and plays all the term, then he is faced with his bad grades and feels regreted.
Knowing that the things we may resent are for our good, and thinking about the good consequences helps us alot to do it, while ignoring these obligations and donig only what we like makes the situation more complicated. So Personally somtimes I do things that I do not like but I know it is for my best, because it will bring me good things, or take away bad things.

There are some people hold opinion that we should always do what they prefer, and it is a way of enjoying life. But in my opinion, sometimes we have to do things we don't like, not because we want to do but we have no choice at all.
The first reason is obvious. Being the member of the society, we should try our best to accommodate ourself to the society and live well . For example,you can imagine that you are an employeer of a littel company of which the boss is a miser. He always let you do lots of things and give you relatively low salary. Maybe you have complained millions of times, but what you can do? In a economical depression environment, it is not easy for you to find a good job, and you have to support yourself and your family. What you have to choose is to continue to work, I think, though you really want to give it up.
Secondly, we are always attached by all kinds of relationship, such as friendship, relativeship. Such relationship will play a very important role in your caree. Whatever goal you want to obtain, you should cater to such relationship. If you are not a good learner, you want to give up your student caree and go to work. But your parents hopt you to go on your study. In their eyes , good eductions means everying: wealth, good caree and so on.If you don't like to hurt them, the only way what can you choose is -- go on studying.
It is no doubt that some teenager insist their own life -- do whatever they want to do, regardless of the image of others. The reason for their opinion is very simple. They are still children and too young to know the stress of life. They havn't really experience the society at all. Once they enter the society , they will know it is necessary to do something they don't enjoy sometimes. < /span>
