This is my memo of career. I will use this blog as a record of my first job.
After twenty five years as a student, I finally become an incumbent, one of million workers in this world. I am not sure I should be happy or sad, because it is a challenge for me for two reasons. First, I have to learn as soon as possible in these months. My colleagues are graduated from graduate schools; however, I, from undergraduate, have to work harder in order to catch boss's attention. At least, I hope my performance will not humiliate the supervisor, who interviewed me. Second, the company is a big one where there are many rules and regulations around working area including ethnics. The promotion is based on how many years people work for the company. As this result, there is a dilemma for me; that is even I work very efficiently, I still "respect" my senior colleagues.
What is more? This job is not my final terminal, but it is an interim of my further education. In the following year, it is very important to balance my job and the self-studying English. Further, I will have to complete the applications of every graduate school in time. I think it will be a tough time to accomplish these things, but as my girl friend said, if you can not behavior as a great man, how will you be a real one. There are many unreasonable words from her mouth, but this one contains much meaning.
Finally, it was an easy day today, just lectures and videos. I will face the real stuff tomorrow, the real situation I will face in this year. I hope I can get around with it and find the joy in it as usual.

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.

I Don't Smoke!
This is an era of freedom, that is everyone has right to do anything without breaching the laws. However, when people try to do anything that they want, they should take few minutes to think about if the thing they will do will become other people's burden or not. If that will inroad other people's right, people should not do it. Therefore, no matter the government enacts the rule to limit smoking in public, people who smoke have to learn to respect others.
It is a hell for people who do not smoke to sit near smoking people. The smell of smoke is nasty, and the components of the smoke are harmful for human respiratory system. They will increase the rate to having lung cancer. Unfortunately, the rate is higher for people who do not smoke but inhale other's smoke than people who smoke. As a result, it is very unfair to let people smoke in public. Other people need clean space where there is fresh air to breath without worry of healthy danger.
In the other side, people who smoke also assert that the rule will abandon their right. They even propone the civil right in the Constitution to prove that they have to protect their smoking right. However, they forget the spirit of democracy and Constitution is based on a freedom avoid of breaching other people's right. Moreover, they still have right to smoke. For example, many restaurants have provides a smoking area for smoking people in which the air does not circulate to other area in the restaurants. With the isolated air condition, they can smoke and do not bother other people.
After all, before the government enacted the rule, people who don't smoke had to tolerate smoking people. Even although they hated the smoke of cigarette, they bore that smell because they showed their veneration of smoking people. Since the rule has enacted, the smoking people have to respect others. Moreover, for their and their children's health, if they could quit smoking, it is the best thing.
