Have you ever given any thought to your dream? I sure did. People's answer might differ greatly from one or another. Mine, however, is to become a business man/ woman.
The reasons why I dream of becoming a business man/ woman can be best summarized as the followings. (女版)In the modern world, women are no longer the subordinates of men. We have our own rights and can achieve our goals as men do. (男版)You know, my father, a great man who I admire so much, is a very successful business man and sets an excellent example for me since I was a child. So I strongly believe that I have the ability to become a successful business woman/ man. But before I realize my dream, I must make full preparations. Now I am planning to study overseas. I think it's the first step to this dream. After my graduation, I will pursue my career in some international companies to gain more experiences. When I think my preparation is done, I will try to set up my own company. I strongly believe that with my ambition, confidence and diligence I will finally realize this dream.
Some people believe commodities that are popular among consumers reflectthe power of advertisement rather than the real needs of people. Do you agree ordisagree?
Whether we like it or not, advertisement has been pouring into our dailylife. They are so powerful that some people believe that it is not the needs ofpeople but the power advertisement that makes commodities popular. Personally Idon't agree with this opinion.
First, let's make clear what the real needs of people are. Real needs canbe divided into two categories: the material satisfaction and spiritualsatisfaction. People tend to regard material satisfaction as real needs andspiritual satisfaction as waste of money and time. This is not true. Somecommodities may not be useful but they can give the owner a kind ofsatisfaction.
Second, let's make clear the reason why advertisement is powerful. The keyprinciple of advertisers is to grasp the needs of consumers, then pass thepotential consumers the information that their commodities can meet your need.Advertisers can promote the needs of people, exploit the needs or even producethe needs of people. But whatever they do, it will be based on the needs ofpeople.
Person=Personalities
1. Parents
My mother is the person whom I admire most due to her so many good personalities like talented, tolerant and most of all, her spirit of dedication. First of all, she is such a talented person who not only has great achievements in her work, but also can cook delicious food for my dad and me. Furthermore, since she is well-educated, she can tolerate different opinions from varied people. And the most beautiful thing about her is that she has a beautiful mind. Thrifty as she is in the daily life, she saves the money and donates all of them to the people who may need them. The ways she does and thinks make me want to be the person like she is. That is why I think my mother is the person I admire most.
2. Teacher (万能人物;可替换的角色有:parent, leader, friend, ideal spouse, celebrity)
A good teacher should have the following personalities. First of all, a good teacher makes herself available to all students and she knows which students need extra assistance.
Furthermore, a good teacher is an effective communicator, who knows when she needs to change her communicating techniques to be sure students can grasp instructional
concepts. What is more, she would show her great ability when her students are making mistakes, she would let them know why they are wrong and how they are going to do to correct them, rather than simply punish them. For most students, a good teacher is also a helper who can lift them to new heights. Just like an old saying goes, " GIVE ME A FISH AND I EAT FOR A DAY, TEACH ME TO FISH AND I EAT FOR A LIFE TIME". This must be a philosophy of every good teacher.
3. Friends
A good friend should have the following personalities like trustworthy, helpful and
positive. First of all, a trustworthy person is someone whom I can rely on especially when I am in difficulty; he/she will be just a phone-call away to get me out of trouble. Secondly, he/she must be someone who can give me some suggestions when I lose my heart. I clearly remember last time I had a bad experience on my job, I was so sad during those period of time and my friend Nana just sat besides me and was such a good listener to support me and inspired me by saying that I deserved a second chance and never pushing myself too hard would be a better choice. After the nice conversation, I happened to realize I overcame those dark days with the encouragement she had given to me. Last, a good friend is someone who is positive. Though we always say “prepare for the worst and hope for the best”, we seldom do it when we face up with the worse situation. At this time, a positive friend has this power to make us believe that it is absolutely right to obey the rule.
In the end, I would like to quote a famous saying by Aristotle to end up my response. “What is a friend? A single soul in two bodies.”
4. Leader
A good leader should have these criteria:
1. Have a vision.
Effective leaders and their organizations have an agenda. A vision. A vision is a direction—an attractive and attainable picture of the future. As a leader, if you don't know where you are going, you are irrelevant to your followers. With a vision you can inspire and lift individuals and groups to new heights—an important function of any leader.
2. Seize opportunity.
Look for experiences that are new and different. Develop relationships with people who are different from the people you ordinarily have relationships with, especially those that come from different backgrounds and age groups.
3. Communication is key.
Be accessible to everyone in the organization. Companies need to realize that the old model of the leaders sitting on top of the pyramid and the managers executing orders does not work in today’s environment. The person at the top cannot be the only leader. There have to be various people within the company acting in this role. There are many companies stuck in a rut where the managers are waiting to be told what to do. That doesn’t work.
4. Be proactive.
Promote continuous exploration of yourself and other leaders within the organization. Be accountable for what you do. If there is an issue in the company, don’t say you didn’t know anything about it. Look at the organization and constantly ask what can be improved.
But there are some advertisements that exaggerate the functions of thecommodities to tell the wrong information to consumers. They make thecommodities popular by cheating the majority of consumers. And also there aresome commodities that do harm to the health of consumers and to the society. Forexample, smoking is poisonous, but the advertisements try to make a heroic imageof the smokers, as the result smoking is popular among young men who aredreaming to become heroes in women's eyes. But such advertisements areminorities.
In summary, advertisements bring us convenience to choose the commoditiesthat can meet our needs. Most of the commodities are popular due to theirusefulness, only some of them are due to the influence of advertisement. (298words)
