Competition For Studying Aboard

As the competition in the world is increasing, people are forced to gain more advantages to succeed in their works. People who study aboard think they can gain some extra advantages from their foreign education. In fact, they indeed have benefits after graduating from foreign schools.

First of all, people studying aboard must go to the countries where the specific terrain of profession is preoccupying in the world. Students want to learn the most advanced knowledge and skills in these countries and take the advantage of it when they return to their home countries. Because their knowledge is regarded better than people who study in the home country, the companies are likely to give them better pay. In my country, Taiwan, for example, people who study aboard can get more salary and opportunities to promotion than in the local universities.

Further, when students who study aboard have to counter the foreign culture and the gap of language, they become stronger in mind and more adaptation to different environments. These factors become advantages in their following lives. In this era, companies need their employees to conduct business in any countries and cultures. As a result, students who fit these needs are those studying aboard. This is another reason why companies want to pay more for them.

However, studying aboard is not always a panacea for success. Students also have to pay attention on studying and researching in order to acquire advanced knowledge. Students who study aboard just for a certificate would not have great accomplishment, after their bosses find they are useless except for a glittered degree certificate. After all, there is an old word, which is no rose without thorns. Studying is not an easy task, and studying aboard especially difficult, so students who have the chance to go aboard and study must cherish the chance and do their best on studying.

How Do Children Become Men?

There are some differences between children and adults, or there would not these two different words. Although the human society has changed a lot for thousands of years, the difference never changes. In the adults' world, there are many challenges around them, so they are forced to compete with other adults and take many responsibilities in order to survive. Therefore, the essential gap is the responsibilities.

When a child has the ability and willing to take a responsibility, he is moving a step to the adult world. After specific times of this process, he will become an adult. When people are old enough to be considered adults, if they fear to take the responsibilities given by the society they just look like adults and however, they are still children in their mind. The military service, for example, is a mandatory duty in my country; however, some people who do all they can to avoid this duty are not thought real men.

The responsibility is so crucial, that it is a terrible catastrophe when people forget them. The society loses its orders in that situation where people run through the traffic light and students do not attend schools and workers are absent in the companies and governments do not function. As the result, children should understand the responsibilities of an adult during growing up. Fortunately, we can teach our children through our education system and family. In addition to understand these things, children also have to do them in the real world. If they do not, they behave just like ignorant people.

There are many responsibilities existing in the society, for example, caring about other people including your family and friends, helping those who need your help, fostering the weak, complying with laws. Some urge people to help others, while some ask people do their own duties well. In summary, they all want the world good and peace without violence. When I was an elementary school student, my teacher ever told me no matter what I do when I grow up, do not do things which hurt others and break the laws. I still remember now.

A Country I Love to GO

There are many beautiful resorts in the world; however, I would like to visit China, the one of the oldest country in the history and the fast growing economy in the world. China has two things in which I am interested. First, there are many antiquities there, and many of them are invaluable for all humans. Second, the economy in China has increased in an amazing speed; as this result, I want to see what miracle is happening.

In the first ten days, I prefer a historic trip. The capital of China, Beijing, is an ancient city, which has established since several centuries ago. The place which I love to visit is the Great Wall, which can be seen by the astronauts in the space. Moreover, the Palace is also in my list because I want to see how the empires live luxuriously. Anyway, when I am there, I could feel the atmosphere of an old country through everything I see.

In the next ten days, I want to see the development of economy in China. Although I could not go through the country to see what happens everywhere, I could visit the most important economic city, Shanghai, where the economy is growing every second. I could understand the life of the wealthy Chinese people who represent the future life of other Chinese people in the future. Because they are richer than others, the ways they live are the examples that others will imitate in some years.

After all, the old dragon has wielded its power since its leader opened the economy to other countries. The free economy brings wealth for people in China, so if I do not understand the country, I might lose some advantages to compete with other people in the world. China is always a mysterious country with five thousand years history and nearly two billion people. The potential market and business are unfathomable.
