Most of the world’s population aspires to works in multinational companies or organisations that pay highly. Once hired, they work hard to achieve higher post and position, but one question which should be addressed is, ‘Is overworking the cause of stress and forgetfulness?’ Yes, I agree it is the main cause of stress and forgetfulness.

To begin with, people in big firms are fully occupied with work, and in the urge to complete the assignment they work day and night. In other words, overworking. This hazardous step taken by employees can lead to the state of forgetfulness. In extreme scenarios people begin to neglect their families which in returns impacts their family life.
In addition, too much work can fatigue a person’s mind. The fear of getting fired or being questioned from the employer nudges the worker to extend the work hours which again leads to stress. When a person continues to work under such pressure the outcome will surely be dangerous. Several cases of severe headache-migraine, back pain, body pains, hypertension and in worst case, depression are reported due to extended work hours. Scientists state that a person who works more than needed is vulnerable to extreme distress, mood swings, frustration and in some cases causes chronic mental diseases.

On the contrary, some say that if you overwork then there are high chances of increment in your salary or you could rise to a higher position. After all in today’s world money is more desired for. The overworking you do, can be of great use in future. More money can secure you and your family an idyllic lifestyle.

It is ridiculous to secure a lavish life on the cost of health when a peaceful and non-stressful present is possible. One simply needs to distinguish between 'wants' and 'needs'. Life is more valuable than work and money. What if the person loses his life in the pursuit of rich lifestyle.

In conclusion, overworking is hazardous to life; it causes various kinds of problems like stress, depression and forgetfulness. It snatches the happiness in your life forever and leaves you depressed and yearning for affection of your loved ones. Even though overworking is profitable for future , remember its dangerous for present. Present is precious, as future always depends on one's present!
