Best motivation and reward

Before you hit the roads to achieve a goal, have you ever given any thought to your motivation or what are you expecting to get as a reward? Attitudes towards this question vary from person to person. Some people claim that wealth and fame is the best motivation and reward, others believe that the fulfillment of a job well done is its own reward. In my opinion, the later point holds more water. In the end, it is the joy in the journey that truly matters.

Doing the work with the attempt to be rich or famous will bring an unfortunate outcome and even will lead us to a dangerous situation. Gradually, we will consider wealth and fame as the most important things in our lives instead of the care of our parents, or our ‘Friends-time’. Besides, this kind of thought might have bad effects on our work, since we only care about how much money we earn or how to get as many glories as we can, we may tend to forget the original significance of doing the job and can’t concentrate our minds on doing the job well. Thus our work efficiency will be reduced and it is unlikely that we can make a great development in our own career. What’s worse, once we fail to get or lose all those glories or wealth, we may feel rather depressed, empty and even sink into a desperate situation.

However, if we change our train of thought and attach more importance to the sense of happiness and fulfillment by accomplishing some simple things, our life will become more wonderful. We won’t get tired of our work and we will be courageous enough to overcome all the

obstacle on our road and enjoy the abundant happiness that the job brings to us. Every workday is like a journey full of surprise and delight. Besides, without the burden of wealth or fame, we can immerge ourselves into the job and there is a good chance that we can achieve a lot. In this case, although we don’t aim for wealth and fame, wealth and fame will follow naturally. If not, we will not feel discouraged, as we firmly believe that the happiness and fulfillment during the journey is the best reward for our work.

Van Gogh sold only one painting during his life, but this didn’t stop him from completing over 800 paintings because he never aims to make money or get fame when he creates new works. As for van Gogh, he values the process of pursuing instead of the results. It’s the pleasure and fulfillment in the process of creating gives him abundant motivation. If Van Gogh had always been fascinated in fame and wealth, he would not have had such wonderful works and the world would never have had such a genius of art.

As a senior high student who are preparing for the college entrance examination, we can’t say that the scores is not important. But I still strongly recommend that we should cherish the process of our learning and enjoy the perpetual and interior happiness it brings to us. No matter whether we succeed in the end or not, we have got the best reward for our work.

Will Your life be Determined by a Cup?

Is coffee among your favorite drinks? With enough choices, which cup would you like to pour your coffee into, an exquisite one or a plain one? Many people will take up the fancy one without hesitation. But wait! Do you really care so much about the containers when the coffee in them is exactly the same, and should you?

Achievement is the coffee while wealth and fame are the cups and the personal satisfaction is the taste of that particular coffee. Will you allow your personal happiness and satisfaction to be determined by a cup–the wealth and the fame you may or may not obtain, and should you? What my mother once said always rings in my ears: “money is not as fantastic as you think, you should never think too highly of it. Don’t be greedy, my son. As long as you are delightful and satisfied with the efforts you have made, that’s all you need.” Gradually, I came to feel the same way. However, in reality, many people are chasing wealth which results in the ignorance of the personal satisfaction and lose themselves in a variety of material temptations. Admittedly, the personal satisfaction is the best motivation and reward for our achievement. As far as I am concerned, those who hold a different attitude focus their time and energy on immediate interests and ignore long-term ones. And surely one day they will get tired with it, on account of which, they’ll lose the motivation in the end.

Such is human nature that material wealth often holds strong temptations to people. Nevertheless, we must be well aware that if the focus of our life is merely on wealth, how shallow we are and what is the difference between us and zombies?

Therefore, savor the coffee, not the cups! Don’t get lost in the cups, but enjoy the coffee instead.

11 Directions: Would you expect a “thank you” when you give your seat to an old man, or a woman with her baby? How do you feel if they take your seat without even taking a look at you? Would you be angry? You are given 60 minutes to state your view on the topic within less than 300 words. You can add a title by yourself.

“Thank you”—a powerful gift

Recently, some individuals would not give their seats to the old or the pregnant as the result of no reaction given back. Naturally, problems arouses: Must we demand a “thank you” when we give a seat to others? As my opinion, a “thank you” is both beneficial to the seat sharers and the ones who take the seat.

A smile and a “thank you” paid back can promote the phenomenon of giving seats and enhance the moral value of the society. The first time I gave my seats to a pregnant and she smiled to me saying “thank you”. That time I felt the flower of my heart come out and bloomed .So I kept on doing that until an old lady once stared at me without saying a word when I gave my seat to her. I felt as if I would never do that again and got off of the bus. Apparently, the simple smile and words motivate people to do more moral things for the ones needing help while everyone is longing for a “thanks” when they do things for you. Your reactions are really important to others.

If we are ignored by the ones who take your seat, do not be sad and keep on doing the things we think are right. We might be disappointed ,or even sad, when we are ignored as our own view. But have you ever thought that the impolite actions might be reasonable? Maybe those individuals were in a bad mood and did not tend to talk to anyone else. Or maybe they just got some bad news of their body and were extremely week so that they could not make an reaction. Standing in others view can always alleviate our disappointment on them and encourage us to keep on the good things. We should always believe that the world ,with our positive outlook and action, will be increasingly beautiful and warm and advance morally.

In conclusion, we should continue to give seats to others and give others a thank you and a smile when they do the same to us. Like the saying : “Giving others roses and the scent will remain.” Let’s make our slightest action as a gift to others and contribute to a happier world positively.

10 Directions: Chinese people always have the tradition of helping others; regardless of a friend or a stranger. However, in recent years, people find that when they try to help others, some changes are taking places. One of the most common examples is that, a passer-by who sent an injured senior people to hospital would be very likely to be recognized as the accident-maker. This kind of events is being rerun again and again. When trapped in the dilemma of tradition and trouble, what would be your choice?

The roses in others’ hand, the flavor in mine.

News about helping others but getting punished are often seen these days with negative effects. Inevitably, debate has arisen: whether or not we should keep on helping others? People think variously. As far as I am concerned, I would choose to keep on helping others and deepen the Chinese moral value of helping others in my mind for reasons below.

To begin with, helping others, one regarded as our traditionally moral value, enhance the positive power of our society. For example, Lei Feng , one that always help others in his life, behaved as a positive moral role, teaching children of China to help others and awaking public of their social responsibilities. Apparently, we can see that if you do minors to help ones, then those who receive your help are more likely to help others, thus enhancing the positive power of our society.

Furthermore, giving others a hand while they are in need can make ourselves more confident and happy. As a student, have you ever taught your classmates on how to work out a hard exercise? If your answer is yes, then you must have felt the sense of happiness and confidence from the bottom of your heart. Similarly, when we give others a hand, regardless of what way you do that, you will feel the real warm and happy like raising a flower till they broom in the spring.

Of course, you do not have to help others every time they need you. Concern about your power carefully before you help others. Do not risk your life to help them impulsively! If you can not help one immediately, you can turn to the adults or think about other ways to make it.

In a nutshell, the major reasons why we should help others, although there are some other minors, have been discussed above. What we should do is attempt to help others no matter what the man think of you. Hopefully, the discussion would exert further concern of public in order to search a better answer and many individuals have changed their mind .Is that meaningful?

Should We Follow Fashions?

Furthermore, chasing the fashion is not a waste of money but a kind of invest to your outlook which enhance your social position.
