Essays: 1.4. The way you treat yourself sets the standards for other.

There is no doubt that if you treat yourself with respect, others will treat you with same respect. And vice versa, if you dont respect yourself, then others will do the same. None of us is perfect; all of us have made mistakes. What we need to know is this: no matter what mistakes weve made be still have the chance to overcome them. Regardless of your past, your future is a clean slate because today is the beginning of the rest of your life. It is a clean slate, move forward, leaves your baggage behind because no one cares about it. You can be who you want to be, just making sure your attitude is right. You have choices every day now, make them count for you. Love yourself and all rest people will love you. Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world. Plant your own flower; decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring your flowers. Instead of treating yourself poorly and not taking the care that you need to take in your life, including thing like the continual education, and development of your spiritual and physical body, treat yourself like you want others treat you. You are the person that what you need, what you want and how to behave with your own person. It is indispensable to treat yourself as well you can. Im pretty convinced that treat yourself as you would like others to treat you is one of the most important things in life. You must never forget that the way you treat yourself sets the standards for other persons. Essays: 2.4. The Internet has forever changed the way we live Nowadays, in my opinion no one can deny the importance of Internet because it is influencing our daily life. Sitting in front of a computer, clicking a mouse three times, we can get access to the information high way, which provides us a lot of valuable source of information and communication. The Internet plays a major role in the life of everyone. It brings people of the world closer together. It makes the world smaller because through the Internet we can communicate with people from all over the world. The Internet can be very useful for finding information for work, school or fun. There are many positive aspects of the Internet because the Internet has helped us a lot in improving our lives. But the Internet may also have major disadvantages. The Internet resources help people get latest news, improve knowledge by providing access online libraries. It is the center of attention for business, governments and individual person around the world. It has spawned entirely; new industries transformed existing ones and become a global cultural phenomenon. Communicating through the Internet gives the opportunity to know and other people of another nation and find out their culture to make comparison between regions and even to learn new things form that communicated with. I can assert that the Internet will change our lives in every aspect of life. Without a doubt I can say that the use of the Internet around the world is doubling every month. The Internet is becoming faster all the time and we can already watch video and

communicate with each other more easily. I suppose that many people now work at home via the Internet. It has created unlimited new business opportunities. I strongly believe that nowadays more and more people need to go out and meet other people. People from the world use email address instead of writing letters to keep in touch with their friends. The Internet communicating is very popular among us, the teenagers. We love to talk to our parents who sometimes are far away from us, or with our dear friends, sending them all sorts of funny pictures, music and movies. But all this can lead to estrangement, lack of real communication, insulation if we use it in excess. But I have no doubt that the Internet will not change everything in our lives because people need to go out and meet other people. People need to draw fresh air because they must to be healthier. Im afraid I dont agree reading so much on a computer screen because it is uncomfortable and has negative influence especially on our eyes. Thats why people will never stop wanting to read, listen to music and be entertained in traditional ways. Finally, Im pretty sure that the importance of Internet will continue to grow. And to my mind, life without the Internet would be dull, but we need to live a real life, not a virtual one. I really can say that the Internet has forever changed the way we live. Essays: 3.4. There is almost nothing in our lives that is not touched by language Have you ever wondered who taught you to talk the way you do? People learn to talk and to express themselves everyday of their lives. Starting from the day you were born you used language or some form of it to communicate with those around you. Everyday express our point of view to others in some form of language. We as human beings dont realize how much language has to do with our lives. The three main contributing factors to how we express ourselves and the three places where language used are school, friends, and most of all our families. Going to school can teach you many things, even more than can imagine. Where do you think you learned that a comma should be placed here, or that you shouldnt end a sentence with a preposition? School is very rewarding and is a place where you develop and improve your language skills. The second place where you receive a hearty serving of language is our day by day discourse with friends. Its definitely true that the majority of your spoken language comes from your peers. The last and most important place you receive language from is your family. The people who first heard you speak, you walk and first helped you to read, have the majority of influence on the way you communicate. You grow up your whole life thinking what your parents say is entirely right and in no way could they ever be wrong. The truth is that all three ways teach us how to communicate and express ourselves to one another. This is how we are able to communicate with such a wide range of people. So this way, our life is completely influenced by communication, that means language in all our activities. Essays: 4.4. Happiness is a value worth pursuing.

Most of us want to be happy. But what is happiness? Its a difficult question and Im definitely sure that happiness cant mean the same to all people. Maybe for elderly people who have lived a long life its easier to find an answer for this question, but nevertheless Ill try to give my own understanding of this phenomenon. Happiness is something that lives inside each of us, but not all the people are able to feel it. You can neither buy happiness, nor sell it, you can never win it in the lottery, and the only way to be happy is to grow your happiness. Have you ever noticed that some people are always grumbling about their endless problems, dissatisfaction in life and even about the dull weather that annoys them? Such people see only dark sides in everything and it prevents them from being happy. But look at other people! At first sight they have nothing in life: they dont have stable jobs or their own apartments, but they are really happy, they meet every day with a smile, they laugh and receive pleasure from life. Isnt that great? Im sure Im a happy person: I have a good friends, loving parents, goals in my life. I try to enjoy every day of my life and be happy all time: to smile when I wake up because the sun shining directly in my window, to feel happiness somewhere deep inside playing snowballs or swimming in the sea, to feel pleasure when I see child happily laughing or when I look at a large rainbow after a downpour. I am sure that the happiness is in our heart! Follow your heart, your passion and your dreams to be really happy! This is the easiest and at the same time the hardest way to achieve the happiness. So be happy! Essays: 5.4. People are often affected by their success and fame. Almost everybody dreams about being famous sport star or a great actor. But does everybody know how hard it is to have such kind of job? In my opinion being famous is very difficult and people who are famous deserve all the money they earn. A star should be polite and kind because he or she is an example to be followed for many young people. Famous people work hard long hours every day and do their best for their fans. Also I think that famous people dont have private lives, they dont see their relatives and friends often. A lot of stars lose them and pretend a lot. They are who their fans want them to be. Many people when become famous forget about humanity. They are very proud vainglorious. Success brings them a big wreath. I think that its not right, because you must keep your humanity and you have to love your friends, family and all the people even if they have less success than you. Im convinced that our life is a boomerang and you must keep good relations with the other people. Success and fame dont give you love, heat and friends. As for me, I agree that being famous sounds nice, but its very hard. I guess I dont want to be really famous. Yes, famous people have everything: money, popularity and fame, but stars lose much more- their private lives and their friends. Essay: 6.4. The future role of technology in the world. Advantages/ Disadvantages.

I can assert that the 21st century will be a time of rapid innovation and technological change that will be spurred on by the grand challenges that we face. Significant opportunities for technology based products and services will emerge from increasingly open, competitive and affluent global markets. For decades, technology has been dramatically changing not just the lives of individuals in developed country, increasingly the lives of the people throughout the developing world. Looking out to the future, there is no single story to be told about how technology will continue to develop. Although technology and invention have many advantages and disadvantages. First of all, things are invents to make a task easier to perform , we don't need to do repetitive and uninteresting job like washing-up and this gives us more time to do other things. What we do with this time depends upon the individual. Secondly, for people, who are less able to do these jobs, like elderly or disabled people, these machines are a great help. Future developments may be able to help them even more. I think, this is the most positive side of technology. On the other side, technology can make people lazier, products are made more cheaply and technology can have adverse effects on a persons health and safety. As I mentioned, it is up to the individual what they do with this extra time. Unfortunately, instead of doing everyday tasks people tend to watch television or play video games. Furthermore, television companies encourage us to watch as much TV as possible. This can lead to an inactive lifestyle and people are becoming overweight and unhealthy. This is the negative part of technology. In conclusion, the positive side is that because machines and automation do the things we do not like doing we gain more time to do other things, and people who cannot do certain things are able to do them with the help of technology. However, on the negative side we lose the daily activity involved in washing-up, vacuum cleaning and so on, and for some people, this may be the only kind of activity they do. The danger is that we do not replace these activities with others. Essays: 7.4. Write the headlines and a short story for something that has happened recently in your town Essays: 8.4. We are using up the Earths natural resources faster than even. We are totally dependent on natural resources. Everything we have or use is made of natural resources, or raw materials and energy obtained from the environment. The clothes were wearing, the chair were sitting on, our house and TV and school and books, city streets, whatever we ate for breakfast, are made of natural resources. I can conclude that natural resources sustain human life. People use many of the Earths natural resources. All of the products we use have a natural resources base. Minerals, forest, products, water, and soil are just a few of the natural resource humans use to produce energy and make things people use. The big point of this section is to look at the idea that humans have a finite amount of material on this planet. Not only are humans are using these materials, but nature using them too. The difference between humans and nature is that nature doesnt waste.

Our use of natural resources affects the environment in many ways. Our use of natural resources has impacts that go far beyond simply using materials that are limited supply. The environment is affected at every stage of the chain of extraction processing manufacturing marketing consumption disposal. Same products we buy are necessary to our health and well-being, or improve the quality of our lives. We need clothes and stoves and so on. We wouldnt want to give up books and music and other things that enrich our lives. But we can reduce level of consumption we are using up our natural resources and our environment for things that we dont need and that dont really enhance our lives. A healthy environment and a supply of natural resources are basic to our well-being. When we live in highly consumptive lifestyle, we use more resources and create more pollution. Many environmental problems are tired to our rate of consumption of material goods and thus of natural resources. The most basic method of caring for our environment is to reduce, reuse and recycle. Finally, I can say that we are using up the Earths natural resources faster than ever and so we destroy the nature. We need to realize this fact and protect the Earth. Essays: 9.4. A good reputation is more valuable than money It seems that the two concepts: reputation and money have become more closely nowadays. Indeed, a good reputation is more valuable and more important than the money because a good reputation can bring you a lot of money, but if you have a bad reputation, money will never influence your reputation. My father often says that you must work for your name, to make it famous, well-known in a positive way, so then your name can work for you and bring you profits. If you have a good reputation people want to work with you, they believe in you and your projects and they are confident that nothing wrong can happen. But if you have a bad reputation nobody will risk investing money, time and their own reputation. Well, the conclusion is that we always must be attentive with our actions, with that we say and with what we do, so nothing can damage our reputation because once it is damaged youll never establish your good name. Essays: 10.4. Leisure is time for doing something useful All people have to have a time for leisure after work or school day. I can affirm that people in different ages use their time in diverse ways. To my knowledge nowadays more and more new activities in which we can take part in our spare time are appearing, as a result of the wide spread of the technology. Somebody prefers only to sleep in their leisure time, but most of us prefer to do a great number of interesting things. It can be reading, practicing various types of sports, watching TV, listening to music and so on. Teenagers hang out with friends at cinema, at concerts, also feeling better. If we speak about those who have too much free time and do not know what to with it, as an advice I would propose voluntary work, to help the elderly people. I can say that time is very precious and we must appreciate it. If we have leisure time we must consume it rationally, do something useful that will help the society. Generally

everyone has free time, how little would be, and each tries to get involved with something good, not just to get for nothing. Essays: 11.4. A heart that loves is always young A heart that loves is always young. But what is love? Surely all the people who lived before us on Earth asked this question, but in the XXI century, we have no answer to this question. If you ask people what is love? they will hardly have enough words to describe it. All people are waiting for it. Love is the greatest mystery of all time. It is not important how old are you, if youre in love, you feel young. Love will never grow older and wont go away. Years pass away, but it doesnt matter if in your heart live love, it will warm you when youre old. When love is in your heart, all the colors seem brighter and you can hear the angels singing. Happens often those in park submitted elderly couples that walk arm in arm or by the hand. They smile nice one to each other, talk about different think and look tenderness. Love that carries the soul of one another makes them fell young. It make them hearts beat faster and feelings do not grow old ever. Love is the elixir of the youth. Essays: 12.4. Your time, energy, relationships, and finances are your most valuable assets. Handling them wisely enhances your ability to succeed. Obtaining success is a very big task that needs a great deal of work and patience. However, success or failure depends on the way on how you measure it. Your success could look like a failure to others. Success is getting what you expect. Change your expectations. If you combine hard work, good ideas, treat those who work for you with integrity and not as robots doing your bidding and share some of the wealth for the hard work they did you are great success. Wanting to do something and motivating yourself to actually do it are two different things. So, whats the difference between those who never reach their goals, year after year, and those who achieve one goal after another? Often, its their self-motivation. In my opinion, self-motivation is the force that keeps pushing us to go on its our internal drive to achieve, produce, develop, and keep moving forward. When you think youre ready to quit something, or you just dont know how to start, your self-motivation is what pushes you to go on. By developing a general level of self-confidence in yourself, you will not only believe you can succeed, but youll also recognize and enjoy the motivation. Its important to look at things positively, especially when things arent going as planned and you are ready to give up. Examine ways to improve your self-motivation, and regularly reassess your motivation levels. If you actively keep your internal motivation high, you can significantly increase the likelihood of achieving your hopes, dreams, and visions of the future. Essays: 13.4. The way we communicate with others and with ourselves ultimately determines the quality of our lives This quote belongs to Anthony Robbins. Communication is an essential skill for successful professional and personal relationships. Effective communication is the key

to get you to where you want to be in your life. Yes, there is power in the spoken word. But, most of us arent aware of what we say, how we say it, and how it affects every aspect of our lives. Too often we get into bad habits and say whatever pops into our heads without thinking. Good communicators are aware of what they say, how they say it, and how well they listen. Talking is possibly the smallest piece of the communication puzzle. Its important to choose words carefully and wisely, to listen to yourself, to be clear and concise, to be aware of what you say, and to show respect for the listener. Perhaps the most important aspect of healthy communication is listening. A good listener maintains eye contact, gives full attention to the speaker, is able to paraphrase what is heard, asks open ended questions, and shows encouraging body language. To ensure you dont fall into the rut of ineffective communication, pay attention to your words, body language and listening skills. Essays: 14.4. Good manners arent natural and have to be taught. In todays society, you see disrespectful acts on television, in movies and in your everyday life. Thats why its so easy for a teenager to get caught in the trap of rudeness. Good manners are a set of behaviors which mark someone as a civilized and cultural member of a society. Nowadays society manners are learning from TV and movie. Each of us needs to know which are good and which a bad manner is. Good manners are not natural and have to be taught of childhood. Manners can be taught in a big family but and school plays a big role to learn a good manners. If you learn good manners you a gentleman for others and you get respect. Good manners go a long way in most societies. Mannerly people are more likely to get ahead in the world of business, and they also find themselves more commonly invited as guests and welcomed in society. Life is a teacher of manners for all years. Good manners are extremely important in life, in school and the workplace. Without manners people in this world would be unable to communicate between anyone. Manners should be instilled in a child at an early age so that when they grow it will be natural, and not a problem. Essays: 15.4. Write about the effect of a parent, teacher or friend on your life. The worlds population has already reached seven billion people, but there are only two in front of whom I am ready to bow my head and say Thank you! Thank you for loving me even when I was the cause of your countless sleepless nights. Thank you for finding time to read me fairytales before bed, even if sometimes you were falling asleep before I was. Thank you for listening, for always being there, for giving up everything you had for my well being. If somebody were to ask me about my hero, I would definitely say that my parents are the ones. Therefore, because I have always looked up at them as my heroes, their impact on my life is essential. They have influenced me, first of all, not by the long educational speeches that I have heard so many times, but by showing me how to put their pieces of advice in practice. I learned from them the most of all by following their example.

Essays: 16.4. Earth day should be everyday Earth Day is on April 22nd every year. Earth Day is a day to remember to take care of our planet, Earth. We can take care of our planet by keeping it clean. We can keep Earth clean by following the rule of Three R which relate about reduce, reuse, recycle. Reduce means use less. We can reduce our use of resources like water or gasoline. Reuse means use again, rather than throw things away. We can reuse many things, such as jars, plastic bags, and boxes. Recycle means to make something new from something old. We can keep Earth clean by recycling materials such as aluminum, paper, and plastic. If we take these materials to a recycling center, they can be used again in a different way. On Earth Day, we remind ourselves and everyone on Earth that we must do these things. We must do these things every day, not just on Earth Day. We must all do our part, and we can make a difference. On April 22nd, remind everyone you know that Earth Day is every day! Essays: 17.4. Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street; fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening. This Coco Chanel quote encompasses my personal view of fashion. I see fashion in all parts of life. Fashion has been a crucial component for many people. I think fashion is very important for all women and men also have to know something about it. Fashion is the style and custom prevalent at a given time. People have used clothes to indicate rank, gender, sexual availability, locality, class, and wealth and group affiliation. Fashion is a form of free speech. It not only embraces clothing, but also accessories, jewelry, hairstyles, beauty and body art. Fashion is a language of signs, symbols. We watch and make opinions about other people clothes what they wear and how and when they wear it. Fashion has become a high priority in this materialistic world of ours. Not only does it describe popular clothing styles, but it also describe customs, music, lifestyles, etc. also, I dont think fashion is all about the look. I feel that it is a way of expressing yourself through the means of material. Your fashion is about you. Its not about the clothes; its about the person in the clothes. Our appearance also has to do with our personal sense of style, because after all, that is how people who dont know us judge us, no matter what we like to believe. Fashion isnt all about wearing a pair of skinny jeans and a boyfriend blazer and saying: This is what hot right now. Fashion is about how you make it represent you. The hardest thing to do is to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to change who you are, and if you can do that than, well, you can do anything. Essays: 18.4. Give to the world the best you have, and the best of the results will come back to you. You say life is like a boomerang. Whatever you do comes back to you at one point or another. I wonder many times what did an old lady that is beginning at the corner of the street do with her life when she was young, because if she had a family, than

chances are she would have a son or a daughter to take care of her. If she had a job, than she would have a pension fund. But she is begging. She is reaping her lifes poor harvest. Maybe her husband left her for another one. Maybe she has lost her temper many times. Maybe she has done some fatal errors for which none of her friends could forgive her. Maybe she was too young to realize that the time invested in her childrens education is not a lost time. Maybe she was selfish. Or she thought money is the only thing that brings happiness. Maybe she was addicted to casinos and lost all her money in one night. Whatever has happened to her, one thing is certain: she was wrong. She lived a self centered life, which is the main reason she has nobody now to help. What she has done to the world, the world is returning her back. No attention. On the other hand, somewhere near the begging lady there is a man with an icecream in one hand and his granddaughters little hand in the other one. He is happy. He had worked all his life to give the very best he could to his family. He had dedicated tireless days and sleepless nights to his self improvement by learning more, working extra and advancing in his career. He had also found time to spend with his children, in order to educate and help them with a piece of advice or share a wise thought with his wife. They had never thrown any clothes, but donated them to orphanages. They had never been stingy to refuse a piece of bread to the one who doesnt have anything to eat and is looking for some food. If a storm came suddenly, than they would let homeless animals use their house as a safe shelter. Now he is enjoying his old age. He has a rich harvest to gather: a loving family, many friends and a thick photo album full of sweet memories, some money in his bank account to buy his granddaughter an ice-cream from time to time or a book to read her a story before bed. Therefore, enjoying the moment of youth, yet keeping an eye on the future is what makes ones life valuable and effective. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Live your life well. For when the time will come for your cup to flow, youll want it to be filled with kindness, goodness and joy, not cruelty, anxiety or anger. Essays: 19.4. The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge. A lot of people consider love as the supreme value. It makes us to take care of each other, to appreciate other people, to help each other. It gives a meaning to our life and makes people to be a social being. But love is not the thing that makes humans special, it is knowledge. We have the unique capacity of getting knowledge all along our life, and to share them with other members of the society insuring the perpetuity of conceptions and ideas. Knowledge guides us in making decisions. Sometimes love has the same role, and people have to make a choice: to judge with the heart or with the brain. This kind of decisions is very difficult because people dont know what aspect must be given the priority. Putting the right balance between these aspects organizes our life. We should love the others more than we love ourselves, it is a Christian principle. Living for others is a main meaning for our life. A lot of people need our help and we

should never refuse them. Love has to inspire our decisions and knowledge. It should help us to choose the right way of applying them. Essays: 20.4. Instruction ends in the school room, but education ends only with life. The school has two major aims: to teach the person some knowledge and to model him as a personality. Education is different from knowledge. Education means the way a person treats the subjects he deals with and the way he communicates with the other, while knowledge is just a bunch of information. Education is a process of mind-change, during which the person gather more and more positive qualities, and this process shall never stop. Education starts from the very beginning, from the birth and follows people until they die. School gives us basic knowledge and has the role to make us respectful, serious, conscious and good mannered. All of us have to pass through the Gymnasium, the compulsory education and some of us go to Lyceums and Colleges. After we finish a step, we will get no more assistance or any advice, because the course is over and thats all. But education never stops at a step; it will permanently require attention and time. You have to carry it all the lifelong on you. As a matter of fact, you are learning now and you may not even be aware of it.
