I think that one must care about anything they are doing in order to do it well. I know that I have to be passionate about what I am doing if I want to do anything like a good job; however, I think that this is very subjective. Depending on people’s personalities, the answer will change. Some people work better if they really care about their work and love it, while for others it doesn’t make much of a difference at all whether they care or not. They just do the work because it needs done. I really need to be passionate about what I am doing, otherwise I feel indifferent, and so I do mediocre work. I see this in my day-to-day life, and not just with my free time. I can tell that, when I’m not passionate about a chore that needs to be done, I don’t want to do it, and I procrastinate, and I find excuses not to do it. If I am passionate, I am working on that thing as often as I can, as fast as I can, and as well as I can. For example, I am really good at writing essays, and, because I’m good at it, it brings me pleasure to write an essay (generally speaking). I have a passion for writing. I care deeply about my essays; if my essay doesn’t meet my standards, then I don’t say, “Oh, whatever. It didn’t matter in the first placeâ€. I say, “I am really disappointed. This work is sloppy and I am ashamed of myselfâ€. In the essay prompt it says that caring deeply about something can cloud one’s judgment. I disagree. If I care deeply about a task and I want it to be done properly, I will do it properly, and use my judgment to its best effect to complete the task. In conclusion, I think that it makes the most sense to care deeply about your tasks when you can. Sometimes you really hate something you have to do and you aren’t passionate about it, but that’s okay. There’s no one answer for everybody.
