Confucius Quote


I really like Confucius’s words because he broadens our outlook and gives us chances to live lively. "Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life." This quote means that when people get a job we love, we enjoy the job and enhance our life. I hope I will find a vocation. However, human minds are not simple.

My job is a student like you. I definitely love to study my major and I have strong passion for my study but I often feel stressful and disoriented. I do not know the reason. Furthermore, sometimes I lost my confidence and I become seized with disquiet even though I study what I like. Thus, I do not agree with this quote. Probably this quote indicates people’s desire.

Personally, I have been seriously depressed and I have not wanted to do anything for a month. To forget my boy friend, I cut my hair, focused on study, and spent time with my nice friends. However, I still cannot change my mind and regain my passion. Everyday I am sad. Also, to tell the truth, I do not know what I want to study and what I should do. However, I decided to keep my study to get a job that I will love in the near future!!

Anticipating your Parents' Objections - marriage


Dear Mom and Dad,

As I told you, I really want to marry him and I can not live without him. You always respect my opinion and my choice so I really appreciate your understandings everyday. However, I can not give up my true love.

I totally agree with that I have a lot of chances to meet kind and handsome men in the future because I am young. Nevertheless, you do not need to worry about my study because after I met him, I have maintained high grade. Whenever I see him, I really feel comfortable. What is more, he makes me happy and relaxed. Even though I am depressed, his smile encourages me to concentrate on my study. Therefore, I can keep a good record. Furthermore, although you are concerned with his character because you have never met him before, he is really sincere and sophisticated. I had never seen such a perfect man. I believe that you are happy now because you found a best partner and married. I want to share happiness with him like you. I think that when you got married, you might have felt this emotion. He complements me and I have a confidence to support him forever. Thus, I hope you understand my passion.

Analyzing argument

Daily titan editorial staff. (2009). Editorial: the price of beauty. The Daily Titan. Retrieved April 12, 2009, from http://www.dailytitan.com/opinion/editorial-the-price-of-beauty-1.1629265

The writer (2009) argues that although Cal State Fullerton concentrates on making campus beautiful to attract a lot of attention such as an improvement of the east and west field, increasing student fees for campus beautification is a wrong idea. He or she uses the “Pathos” and “Logos”, and tries to convince all students in CSUF that instead of using student fees for campus beautification, the university should allocate money for increasing summer classes. In fact, seniors graduating in August of 2009 are limited to take only 10 units because of budget cut (par.9). What is more, they are hard to enroll summer classes owning to the number of students in CSUF (par.11). It means that there is a possibility that some students will delay their graduation. Therefore, the writer believes that the university needs to think twice about how to use student fees.
