What
I Pursue
說明：第一段寫個人對未來追尋的目標及其背景因素。第二段寫當前所做的準備。
As
a teenager, am I supposed to lead a carefree
life or set a life goal to strive for?
On one hand, I enjoy surfing the Internet, playing on-line games and chatting
with friends through MSN like average teenagers. On the other hand, the image
of an outstanding businessman has been rooted in my mind since young. In fact,
it is my father that has strongly influenced me. He is running a successful
printing factory and expecting to have his business expanded. I have long admired my father for his power to handle his
business. I'm looking forward to becoming an outstanding businessman like him.
Likewise, my father wishes me to take
over his factory in the future. In order to equip me for this task, my father places great emphasis on my
education, especially language learning. Besides English, I am encouraged to
learn more foreign languages, such as French or Spanish. After all, multilingual ability will be a great
advantage to a global businessman. Under my father's instruction, I have developed a keen observation of business news. For example, the rise of the PRC in
economy and the crisis of the US caused by subprime
leading attract my attention.
It
is no easy job to take charge of a
factory. Powerful leadership is essential. Therefore, I avail myself of every opportunity
to conduct various school activities, such as singing contest, cadre member-service team and economy
discussion club. From them, I have learned how to get along with others how to
organize a program. Most important of all, I have realized what features a leader should have. I know
there is still a long way to go before I am competent enough to start my
business. At least, I have set my goal to which I am sure to commit myself.
