Words in Writing

Many individuals like being masters in all fields, especially in today’s world where the levels of unemployment are very high. People have been forced to gain skills in different field rather than concentrating in one field. When one specializes in a certain field he/she becomes a master in this field. For example, when one focuses his/her efforts in marketing field, he/she becomes an expert in the field. Being a master at a given area increases one’s efficiency and effectiveness in the task where he/she is performing. Efficiency improves  organization’s performance. When an organization is performing well, its revenue increases with a big margin. Therefore, an individual being a master at a certain area improves his/her performance. Individuals should focus their efforts in being masters at specific areas, for example, being rather  good marketers  than being masters in all fields.

Teach them to Fish

There are many beggars in our streets who beg  each and every day. Many a time  we give them one day meal. There is need to do it rather in order to restore hope in the lives of the million beggars across the globe. We need to go a step further and equip these people with skills of fishing rather than giving them fish. The best form of assistance that we can give them is paying for their education costs, at least in order to provide them with opportunities of competing with others. When one has education, he/she can manage to take advantage of various available opportunities such as employment opportunities. This new form of assistance will go along with fighting poverty levels in the world. Therefore, it is important for us to embrace the culture of teaching people how to fish rather, than to give them fish

Making Decisions in Life

Many a time  I faced with difficult situations that call for me to make a decision. I  always faced with various alternative courses of actions. I have to choose the best course of action taking. When faced with this kind of  situation I always consult with my friends to get their advice on the issue at hand. For example, I sometime have to decide on whether to attend a party or write a term paper which maybe is due within two days. I consult with my friends who help me come up with the viable decision on the issue. Consultations have played a crucial role in the final decisions that I have found myself making in life. I have always managed to come out of demanding situations due to the wide consultations that I make. Thereby, consulting is very crucial for one when making life decisions.

Focus the Key to Success

Sometimes we face with stiff competition as we seek to satisfy our needs. We have to ensure that our concentration is focused to the attainment of the goal in question.

But I knew that it would not be easy to get it because of the stiff competition that I was expecting from the other applicants.

Due to our friendship James went to extent of stealing his mother’s money. This resulted to a painful moment for my friend when he paid dearly for his mistake.

Car Insurance Cover

Taking a cover for your  vehicle is a legal requirement in my country. One has to take an insurance cover for his/her vehicle.

Therefore, it is important for car owners to take up insurance covers for their cars. When taking up a cover there are requirements that one must meet in order to get insurance cover. First, one should faithfully give the material facts about the car he/she want to insure. Secondly, one should ensure that his/her car is licensed by the relevant authority.

Changing the World

I was born in the U.S.A, one of the most powerful states in the world both economically and militarily.  There is demand for world economic powers to realize the need of making their contributions in the fight against poverty, ignorance and diseases in various parts of the world. Africa, Asia and Latin America are the worst hit continents with poverty, ignorance and diseases. The U.S.A has realized this noble task and has made tremendous contributions in the world. They have distributed relief foods in hunger stricken areas in the world.  They have also funded various development projects in third world countries such as water irrigation projects. My country has also helped in the fight against terrorism, thereby contributing in bringing peace and stability in the world. US government has invested heavily in the field of medicine, especially in the area of drug research, thus providing hope for the millions of people in the world.
