Is It True That Happy People Are Productive People?

Using generalization in presenting arguments most times lead to incorrectness or wrong perception of an idea, and presenting happy people as productive people as an argument should not be an exception to this fact. Just as I may not totally agree with the above assertion, I will also not agree that happy people are not productive. The reason is simply because of generalization. It may be easier to argue that most happy people are productive or not productive as the case may be.

To link emotion of happiness with productivity may not produce a good argument in the sense that productivity may not solely be determined by happiness. This can only mean that other factors such as intelligence, diligence, hardwork, persistence, etc should be put under consideration. It may not be possible for people to be productive without having the necessary qualities needed to be productive in any activity they engage in or in different situations they may find themselves.

If truth should be told, in our different experiences and encounters in life, we cannot deny the fact that there are happy people we met who were not actually productive. The reason for this may be that they lack other qualities they need to achieve a great deal in the things they do. Although, emotionally, happiness is a quality that people who wish to be productive in their activities should possess, but the fact remains that it takes more than emotion to be productive.

Though unhappiness may be a great hindrance to productivity, it cannot erase the fact that some unhappy people are actually productive in the activities they engage in. Some people may be unhappy but are diligent and hardworking. These two qualities may help them to be productive without being really affected by the emotion of happiness or unhappiness.

Happiness on its own has different perspectives, and it depends on the way people like to see it or feel it. The things that make some group of people happy may not be the same kind of things that make other people happy. On the other hand, expression of happiness may not be fully understood, and it may be confusing at times as some people who pretend to be happy are not actually happy, while those who seem unhappy are actually the happy ones. Unhappiness may hinder productivity, but there are people who do not allow their emotions to determine how great they are able to do things.

It is quite unreasonable to say that happy people are productive people because I have seen people who are happy but not productive, and that is why I refuse to agree with the above assertion.
