　　I agree that people should sometimes do things that they don't enjoy doing.This is a basic part of being an adult. Plus, some things that aren't "fun" arestill good for us in the long run.

　　Take personal tasks. Who enjoys going to the dentist? Very few people enjoyhaving their annual check-up with the doctor. Not a lot of people enjoy changingthe oil in their car or mowing their lawns. These are all things we do becausewe have to, not because we want to. We realize that taking care of our physicalhealth is the sensible thing to do. We know that if we don't change the oil inour cars, our cars won't run. We understand that grass grows and if we don't mowit, our lawns will look like tropical forests.

　　Professional tasks are another part of the same equation. No one likes tobe stuck with a boring assignment or to be told we have to work with someone noone else gets along with. Sometimes we have to put up with unfair criticism froma supervisor or resentment from those we supervise.

　　If we're in management, we may have had the unpleasant task of having tofire someone. None of these are fun things. Unfortunately, they're all part ofearning a living, something the majority of adults have to do.

　　On the other hand, sometimes doing something we don't enjoy doing can leadto enjoyment. Simply by trying it again, we may decide we like doing it. Forinstance, we may have convinced ourselves we hate to dance. We agree to go to aclub only to please someone else. Yet, for some reason, this time we enjoydancing. We've been cheating ourselves of enjoyment without even knowing it. Thesame can be true of trying new foods or going to a new type of museum.

　　Doing what we don't enjoy doesn't always have to be a bother, does it? It'sjust part of life.
