The issue of whether to postpone happiness until some future date has captured the attention from the public. Considering there are numerous desires that people want to pursue, it is advisable to struggle for the future as Kelly claims.

First, we are facing a highly competitive society. Without being equipped with enough knowledge and practical skills, it is very likely that we cannot not only get a decent job but also lose our self-esteem when we are forced to retire. Lacking assurance of living quality contributes to the failure of weaving a secure net for family members.

Moreover, if we indulge ourselves in recreational activities, we will definitely lose chances to develop. For instance, imagine when we chase a better position in a company and for higher salaries, accumulating resources from the market is essential. Additionally, cultivating relationships within enterprises is also indispensable. If we don't stick to goals and work hard enough, we might lose the opportunities to shoulder a greater responsibility. A sense of satisfaction and achievement no longer exists. Dreams remain unfulfilled.

Although I partially agree with Paul's assertion that we should not ignore present happiness by worrying too much about future, he overlooks the fact that this is not a zero-sum issue. There is always space for us to strike a balance. For example, a happy shopping time after the laborious final exams is reasonable for college students; however, this does not prevent a student from completing daily assignments with hard work.
