In recent years, more and more college students quit school ahead of schedule.
Except the minority quitting for objective reasons like health problem,
most students leave with the pursuit of an ideal career,
as well as more experience and fortune.Several factors may contribute to its emergence.
In the first place,
some students think that the opportunity cost of spending four years on college campus is too high,
and the job market competition is getting fiercer.
Therefore, when there’s a satisfying job available,
it’s worth quitting.In the second place, some hold that the real world is a
better school for them to get practical
knowledge than traditional schools.
Last but not least, the publicizing and popularity of some
successful businessmen like Bill Gates and Steve Jobs,who didn’t finish school but
ended up with a great fortune and achievement,
set examples for the young generation emphasizing individuality and personality.
However, I don’t think it’s rational for college students to
quit school.Armed with high education and more mature personality,
better-prepared graduates can fight for
their future more easily.
In a word, college education pays off.
How to Enhance Our Sense of Happiness?
Along with the improvement of living standards, people are no longer content with being fed
and clothed adequately. They are more concerned about how to enhance their sense of happiness.
To a large extent, happiness depends on individuals’ understanding about it. For some people,
happiness relies on material basis, without which they can't live comfortably and decently.
For others, they believe that happiness has nothing to do with money.
Thus to enhance happiness is not equal to improving one’s material living standards.
Instead, people are supposed to confront their life with right attitude,
to be active and grateful in order to have a happy life.
For my part, money does buy happiness, but only up to the point
where it enables one to live comfortably.
To boost one’s happiness not only needs the material but also the spiritual enrichment.
It encompasses living a meaningful life, utilizing your gifts and your time,
living with reflection and objective.
How to Be Successful in a Job Interview
To be successful in a job interview or in almost any interview situation,
the applicants hould demonstrate certain personal and professional qualities.
Most likely, the first and often a lasting impression of a person is determined by
the clothes he wears. The job applicant should take care to
appear well-groomed and modestly dressed,
avoiding the extremes of too pompous or too casual attire .
Besides care for personal appearance, he should pay close attention to his manner of
speaking, which should be neither ostentatious nor familiar but rather straight forward,
grammatically accurate, and in a friendly way.
In addition, he should be prepared to talk knowledgeably about the requirements of the position,
for which he is applying in relation to his own professional experience and interests.
And finally, the really impressive applicant must convey a sense of self-confidence and
enthusiasm for work,
as these are factors all interviewers value highly.
If the job seeker displays the above-mentioned characteristics, he, with a little luck,
will certainly succeed in the typical personnel interview.
