.In sum, as long as someone understands success as an ability to turn into reality some of hisdreams and goals, he will have to work hard because he will need money.And his chances to earnthat money will remarkably increase if he could graduate from a college and make a career.All ofthese things are simply not possible without hard work.Luck has no place in such a scheme ofevents.(Essay ID: 71 )Topic: 10There is a humorous saying in English   The grass is always greener on the other side of thevalley.The saying is used ironically to point out that there is a temptation in us all to insist thatothers are more fortunate than we are.This is nowhere more true than on the question of luck and38TWE Essays 39/292hard work.When faced with the  bad times , we often find comfort in the idea that we arespecial in our degree of misfortune.I feel that such an attitude is negative, and that it can bringonly further misfortune.Many famously successful people have begun from small origins.Mao was the son of a (modestlyprosperous) peasant; the explorer Captain Cook was so poor that, as a child, he had to work byday and study by night; many of the affluent Americans of today are the children of the poorimmigrants of yesterday.Beethoven, it should be remembered, became deaf before the end of hiscareer.There are many, many more people who have also made genuine, though Jess spectacular,successes against the odds.Within his own terms, a person who is born into poverty in India is a great success if he managesto own a house in later life.Poverty cannot be reduced by merely complaining and blamingothers: no matter how guilty other people are, each individual must reach out to success forhimself.Indeed, some economists believe that the world operates by what they call  the rule ofthe jungle.They believe that in economics a person a1ways attempts to gain profit from hisneighbor: that given the chance the poor man would quickly make himself rich by trading to hisown advantage.Also, it is presumptuous to judge another according to his or her apparent fortune.No man canever truly understand the sufferings of his neighbor.A man who appears comfortably rich mayhave suffered elsewhere in his life - through the death of a loved one, for example.Retiredbusinessmen have often worked long hours in their youth.Surely, it must be wiser to respectachievement than to deny that anyone has achieved good in the world.To rely on notions of luck - to believe that life is a kind of lottery - is an attempt to escape reality.Paradoxically, the only time a person can claim that luck is more important than work is when hereflects on his own success.Because of that modesty, the great man then becomes even greater.(Essay ID: 486 )Topic: 11In my point of view,sports activities are as important as ,if not more important than,goodlibraries.So it is wise for universities to give the same amount of money to their students' sportsactivities as they give their university libraries.There are numerous clear reasons and i wouldexplore some important ones here.First,good health is the prerequiste for future success.Universities are not only the place forstudents to expand their minds, but also a place for student to build their body.A good health isvery essential for study and future success.In our university,there are several middle-agedteachers and researchers suffer from diseases,some even died when they were atill at the acme oftheir academic achievements.This is a great loss for their families and our university.Second,through sports activities,student can benefit both physically and mentally.Anyone who hasplayed in a football game knows that the cooperation and competition are important forsuccess.They are two basic traits for those who want to succeed,and student who can combinethem harmoniously have better chance of success in the future.Third,investment in sports activities can save money in the long run.In China, all of studentsmedical expenses are patronized by government anf this is a heavy burden.If the students healthimporved,a lot of money can be saved every year.With these money,universities can build moreclassrooms,laboratories and libraries.39TWE Essays 40/292Of course, good libraries are also important for universities.A good library with its large collectionof books is the pride and symbol of a prominent university.Boht libraries and sports activities areindispenable for unicersity,so it is wise for unicversities give the same amount of money to theirstudent activities as they give to their libraries.(Essay ID: 464 )Topic: 11I disagree strongly with the idea that the same amount of money should go to university sportsactivities as to university libraries.Although playing sports is a wonderful way to learn aboutteamwork, strategy and reaching your goals, it should not be the principal focus of a universityeducation.Students need the most up-to-date library facilities available to get the best education.Many ofthose facilities are very expensive to buy and maintain.These include computerized programs andaccess to Internet research databases that students can use to find information all around theworld.If a university is only offering its students resources of a decade ago, it's depriving thosestudents of a tremendous amount of information.Even the book and magazine budget of universities has gone up tremendously in the last decade.More is being published on every subject, and every university wants to have this informationavailable to its students.It also costs money for universities to keep their libraries open.Students need to have access to allthe libraries' research tools as much of the time as possible.Because students are young and canstay up all night studying, many universities are starting to leave their libraries open all nightduring exam periods.This costs money, because the staff has to be paid extra to be there.It alsocosts money to run the building (electricity, heat) during that time.Students at universities are only going to benefit from their education if they can get to all thetools they need to learn.Sports are secondary to the resources that students need from universitylibraries.For this reason, libraries should always be better funded than sports activities.(Essay ID: 90 )Topic: 11Both libraries and sports activities are welcome in the universities.Students could study in thelibraries to build up their knowledge [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
