WHAT KIND OF JOB I WANT AFTER I GRADUATE FROM UNIVERSITY

Graduation is the best moment when I was successful to finish my study in University. After I was graduation from University, I must continue my life with finding my future job. It’s so complicated to find my future job, because so many job is available in Industry. But I have a wish, I will become a lecturer. Why? Because I still closer with college student. I can’t be separated from University World. I can share my experience too for my college student, and I can explore their talent with encouraging to join competition. And I think, become a lecturer is the greatest job in the world. You can help Indonesian to make intellegent generation in education sector. Without education, Indonesian can’t be a big country. You can see a Japan or England, They are a developing country in the world. So, Indonesian must be helped with printing many lecturer to help new generation. I know that I’m not very smart, but I believe that I can help college student to explore their talent. The big problem for Indonesian is education, we must make many new bachelor or scientist to make a innovation. May be It’s just story from me about my future job. But I’m really serious to become a lecturer. So, before I become a lecturer, I must work my thesis. And the last, it isn’t only a softskill assignment.  It is a job what I want after I graduate from University. Amin.

WEALTH AND IT’S RELATION WITH SOMEONE’S HAPPINESS

Can money buy happiness? It is a kind of open ended question which can be read in almost every novel. You may not believe that money can buy someone’s happiness. But in fact, many rich people are happy with their lives. You can see them in television or read their activities in the internet or magazines. On the other hand, less prosperous people can only buy their primary needs with their money. They can not enjoy their lives because of low income. In my opinion, wealth has strong relation with someone’s happiness because people can buy anything, can go anywhere and can help other people with their wealth.

Buying anything is one of the advantages from people who have wealth. People can buy not only primary needs with their money, but they can also buy valuable goods. People who have wealth, can wear branded clothing and accessories. They can buy them form stores abroad, such as Singapore, Hongkong or United States. The price of the goods is not a problem for them. Especially people have income over 50,000,000 Rupiah in every month, buying branded clothing make them very proud. Beside buying branded clothing, prosperous people can buy apartment, condominium and  town house. Although apartment or condominium have high price, they can buy them with their money. Buying apartment can make them richer too, because it can be an investment for them. Having apartment also shows that they have wealth. Then, prosperous people can buy luxurious transportation such as sport car or motorcycle. They can use that for their transportation in daily life. They drive sport car to go everywhere, ride motorcycle and go touring with their sport motorcycle community. By buying these things, people feel happier.

To enjoy their life and relax their soul, people can go anywhere using their wealth. They can visit tourist area around the world. There are many tourist area that people can visit in every country. Borobudur temple or Chinese Great Wall are some of tourist areas that prosperous people can visit in the world. They can see great architectures in the past, and they can buy merchandise from there. Beside tourist area, people can also visit beautiful island in every country, for example, Bali and Hawaii are the most popular islands for tourist. So, prosperous people can visit Bali or Hawaii to enjoy beautiful scenery in beach. Then, prosperous people can visit beautiful places, such as Dieng or Alpen Mountain. They can see beautiful scenery from nature. They can watch sunrise in the morning, or enjoy clean air. Although going everywhere  needs much money, they are willing to spend their money to be happier in their life.

Helping other people is one of the main task for human being. We must help each other, and prosperous people can do it easier because they have much money to help others. Prosperous people can give money for less prosperous people. They can give financial capital for less prosperous people to start business. When disaster is attacking some area, prosperous people can donate some food or goods for disaster victims. And then, they can help to donate their money to make temporary home. Besides that, prosperous people can give scholarship for outstanding student from less prosperous people. They can send outstanding student to continue studying, locally or abroad. Helping other people is not making prosperous people as popular people. Prosperous people can help others to make their soul happy. Because they can be good people, and they can use their money for kindness.

In short, wealth has strong relation with someone’s happiness. So, people must be work hard to get wealth and they can be happier in their life. If they have wealth, they can go anywhere, buy anything and help each other. For prosperous people, they can help other people to reach a wealth. They can make the next generation more prosperous.
