It is said that there are about 40,000 different kinds of jobs in the world.
“Finding a job” is not the same as “choosing a job”. Many young people end up in a job which they are not suitable for.
First, it is important to realize what kind of person you are, which special qualities make you different from everyone else and what you are interested in.
Then ask yourself this question: In the following three areas—skills with people, skills with information and skills with things—which are your best skills?
After examining your skills, the next step is research. To find out as many different kinds of jobs as possible, go to the library and read books, magazines and newspapers.
Finally, trust your own ideas and your own thinking!
A.It is your own life, so find something that you enjoy doing. |
B.Choosing the right one itself is a difficult job. |
C.We must know what our ideal jobs are. |
D.There is a difference between an interest and a skill. |
E.Ask your friends about the work they do. |
F.“Chance” may play a more important part than “decision”. |
G.Your parents may also give you some useful advice. |
Being a good person means more than just doing things for others. In order to truly be good, you will have to consider what ‘goodness’ means to you. Perhaps this means doing good for others, or simply being an honest and kind person.
Determine what being a good person means to you personally. Some people think that being a good person is as simple as not doing harm to another. But it is not always about what you don’t do, but what you do for others.
Be yourself.
Love yourself. Learn to love yourself in every way. Practice unconditional self-acceptance. The only way you can truly love others is to first have confidence and love yourself. What you do and what you believe must make you feel good as well as others. If you try to do things for others without taking care of yourself, you can end up resentful (感到愤恨的), angry, and negative.
A.Choose a role model. |
B.Stop comparing yourself to others. |
C.The following tips can help you be a better person. |
D.If you are negative, it has an impact on the way you treat others. |
E.Remember to be yourself always and never someone who you’re not. |
F.Being a good personal also includes helping yourself as much as others. |
G.If you love yourself, then you will make a positive impact when you help others. |
Adjusting to a new job can be a fearful challenge. You'll meet new people and do new work in the new place. Here are some steps to make the process smoother.
Get the facts.
It's absolutely fine to ask questions ahead of time. Depending on your organization, you can ask the Human Resources representative or your supervisor any questions.
Check on the company's social media policy.
Some companies don't care about employee's posting on Facebook, Twitter, or other social media sites during working hours.
Be nice.
Being nice goes a long way, too. People like nice people, and if you're nice to everyone you're going to get ahead. Remember that some of the people at the bottom know more about the inner workings than those at the top.
Don't be afraid to ask for advice.
Try not to stress too much.
Think of your new job as the next exciting step in your career path. Don't expect to learn everything at once. It's all new to you, and it will take time.
A.Nobody likes a know-it-all. |
B.Others have policies that forbid it. |
C.Good relationship can help you relieve the nervousness. |
D.Yes, you are new, but you also bring a fresh viewpoint. |
E.That's why being nice to everyone you meet is important. |
F.There is no such thing as a stupid question when you're starting a job. |
G.If you're not sure who to ask, check with the person who offered you the job. |
Dear students, I taught my first freshman writing class more than 40 years ago. Your class will be my last. We began this term with 36 students. On the first day I thought I would probably end up giving final grades to half that number. If I had been stricter about dropping people, I would have been right. But I let lots of students off. That was no good because now I am forced to give grades that will narrow future options for people who might have gone further, if they had only tried.
If you were one of the students who missed more than five or six classes or who failed to turn in most of the homework, you need to ask yourself if you’re making good use of your time. There are always excuses for not showing up, or not handing in homework. I’ve heard them all. But lives built on excuses generally don’t turn out well.
There were handful of people in this class who made it here every day, always with the given writing task completed. If I were an employer, these are the employees (员工) I would want. But I have never liked to think of myself as working to screen employees for your future bosses. I like to think I’m working for you, and helping build your futures as more fully rounded human beings.
Few people care whether you succeed or fail. You are not showing up to class for your teachers or even your parents. You’ re not doing the homework for anyone but yourselves. In that light, some of you have failed this term. You’ve failed yourselves. As a result, some of you learned very little and showed no noticeable improvement in your writing, wasting your time and mine.
I never find it pleasant or productive to guilt-trip (使愧疚) students. But if just one of you reads these words and decides to take your education a bit more seriously, it was worth writing them.
