Personal Statement
As long as I can remember, I have always known that I wanted to become a great businessperson like my father who has devoted all his life to building a strong and dependable business through which he could provide equal opportunities for everyone who were willing to improve their lives and achieve their goals. My father has influenced me in so many ways, because he was my friend, my mentor and my pride.
I remember how my father used to take me to his factory where I received the basic understanding about business and how different aspects and people linked together to form a successful one. I well understood that one day I was going to take over his business and continue building what he ever hoped for. I was living this pipe dream until I found out that I wasn’t my father’s child and I wasn’t able to live with him anymore. This sudden twist of fate which I have experienced in high school made me give up on my dreams as well as on life. For whatever the reason is, I could not and I did not enroll into the Business class in university although there were the times when it was my lifetime goal to major in Business Administration.
As I am a very competitive and hardworking person in nature I excel at whatever I do regardless of whether I want it or not. This could be the reason why I did so well back in university although I was going through the hardest times of my life after my dad left home and my mom was struggling to make the ends meet. A lot of successful people say that life teaches the hard way and probably they are right, but personally I think that life teaches us the real way in order to make us realize its true values. Life may have bended me several times over the years, but it was never able to break me, because I always have and always will be determined to make my mark in this world like my father did.
During my sophomore year I got a part-time job at a wine trading company with an Australian owner as merchandise clerk. While selling and promoting the high class wines, most of the times I would attend economic or investors forums and meetings where I met people from different countries and different industries. Their speeches and success stories inspired me tremendously that it brought back the dreams I thought I had already given up. Benefit of this job doesn’t end here, while working, I not only learned the necessary sales and marketing strategies, but I also learned how to utilize time and skills efficiently. Perhaps that is the reason why I put so much emphasis on this part time job which paid only 10$ per day.
The greatest teacher in my life was my dad who taught me that you have to be a decent human being before becoming a businessman, because it takes so much than just skills and academic understanding to become one. Therefore, at an early age I have realized that business is not built solely on money or for money.
I remember my dad used to do volunteering and charity a lot, because he thought success and happiness are supposed to be shared. I, too, try to help people at every little chance I get as I have experienced some difficulties myself and know how comforting it is to receive help and support from the others. Of course, I am neither a saint nor a millionaire, so I cannot always give away money or free food like my dad used to and I don’t think this is the only way you can help people. Instead, I try to affect young people like me who perhaps experienced some of the life’s hardships or personal tragedies in a positive way and make them realize that every dream is a worthy dream and it exists in order to be accomplished despite the difficulties and failures they may face. I think no one can avoid their fate and destiny, however, we should be determined enough to control our destiny and create an exciting and promising life for ourselves.
The day I landed my current job I felt as if I have achieved the impossible, because I knew from the very beginning that my major
people are not my source of influence. I look for a more personal connection with someone I actually know for inspiration; not some person or celebrity that I have seen on T.V. or read about in a book, because who really knows what famous people do or have gone through in their lives. Inspiration and admiration comes from my heart. I look to people who have made a difference in my life and that I know on a personal level. One person who has and continues to greatly influence my life is my grandfather…
2012 Topic A Seeing homeless people on the side of the road every day brings my spirits up whenever I’m feeling down or feel like I’m going to give up. Although I know nothing about these people or their current predicaments, I still use them as perspicacity to keep me from entering complete damnation and destruction. I could possibly tell you about all of my inspirations the whole essay, but my greatest inspiration ever is a misguided homeless person or futureless person with no high aspirations…
Name Writing Style Used: MLA Course and Section Number: THEO 201 D27 Short Essay on Inspiration and Inerrancy It was a routine morning; I woke up to the buzz of my alarm, had breakfast, and was on my way to the park where I have my daily Bible study. However, on this day, my time at the park did not go according to routine as normal. A jogger that regularly runs through the park suddenly approached me. He told me his name, but the next words that came out of his mouth were: “How do you sit…
What is Inspiration? What does inspiration mean to you? Who inspires you? Hmmm….You’re not sure because you have never really thought about it. Well let me tell you what inspiration is to me! Inspiration is something that makes you want to make a change in your life for the better; or, someone who pushes you or sets an example. Or someone that makes you think about your life and how or why you want to change it. Inspiration to me is an honor, especially to be inspired…
Elizabethan Theatre, using Shakespeare as an example of an Elizabethan playwright and Contemporary theatre, using Peter Shaffer as an example of a contemporary playwright. Throughout my research I discovered that whilst there certainly had been changes, there were also quite a few similarities. The three plays I will be using as my point of reference are Euripides, ‘Hecuba’, Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and Shaffer’s ‘Equus’ The Aside This is a structural tool the playwright uses to have a character…
through a song they we feel was made just for them. No matter how they are discovered, heartfelt songs inspire us in some way or another. I enjoy listening to ‘How to Save A Life’ because it encourages me to remain forgiving and patient. Sometimes, my loved ones are in need of guidance and not ultimatums. When going the extra mile may be the difference between winning and losing the battle, I dare not choose the latter; this song is truly inspiring. Many have experienced the woes of a loved one…
ideas have come clamoring at me these past couple of weeks as I wrote The Windy Side of Care and went back to finishing edits on Fly Away Home. Autumn always furnishes more inspiration than I know what to do with, so I always store it away like a miser and sort it out later on. I can't work on a complex story like The Baby while my time is chopped up by schedules and politics and hardly any time to write--Baby is at that tangled stage I come to in every story where only clinging to the mizzenmast and…
Open Wings is an anthology of poems that revolves around the theme of freedom, hope and perseverance. This collection of poems was inspired by my favorite poem “I know why the caged bird sings” by Maya Angelou. The metaphor of “the caged bird” represents the struggle for freedom, independence and hope. The caged bird sings in the middle of its struggle while a free bird watches. This struggle is something utterly impossible, and something that only a strong character could do. I chose these poems…
found it just as rewarding as the first time I visited. I made time to go in, find my piece, and quickly leave after I had taken a few pictures. Instead, I lost track of time and completely ignored my phone. The artwork was so captivating, and all the pieces took my attention. Most of the pieces were ones I had seen already, but I noticed things I hadn’t noticed in the first place. After taking my time to choose my first painting, I finally decided. I chose the painting called Daily News. When you…
