What Is Most Valuable for Me?

       Everyone has a goal in his or her life. Sometimes that dreammight seem small or unnecessary to another person. However, in my opinion, even if you feel your goals are so little compared toanother people's goals, your dream is the most important thing for you because you can create a more rewarding life because of your dream. If I fulfill my life’s dream, I will be happy. In my case, I have three goals; to speak English well, to get married in the future and to be a broadcaster.

       One of my important goals is to speak English well. I love to gain new information and knowledge, so I want to communicate with a lot of people from other countries and get a lot of information from websites written in English. And I like to make friends with a lot of people. So I think speaking skills arenecessary for me. And English speaking skill is directly linked to success of my other dreams.

       Another goal is to get married in the future because my parents are look so happy. They really love each other. I want to have three children, because I have two older brothers so I know how exciting it is to spend time with siblings. I have this kind of dream because of my parents. I want to make a happy family in the future. So I think marriage is the most important and valuable goal for my life.

       Lastly, I want to be a broadcaster. I don't know why I want to, but since I was a junior high school student, I have been having the dream. A lot of people think being a broadcaster is a brilliant job. I think so, but that is not all. You have to study hard, learn a lot of rules and speak English well to be a broadcaster. However, no matter how hard you try, it is unlikely to become a broadcaster because the entrance exam is highly competitive, but I will try hard to get success.

       In conclusion, this is my favorite sentence of Martin Luther King Jr.: "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy." I have given a lot of effort to achieve my goals in the past, but there are many things that I couldn't achieve. However, I always gained some good things while I made effort and I grew by the moments. So I think making an effort to achieve something is the most valuable thing for me.

Nobody Gives You Anything

“Till the End” is the maxim of my favorite soccer team, it explains and stimulates me to never give up and to keep trying every time. I love skiing and the mountain landscape, and I’ve been ski instructor since 2010 and I graduated in Business and Management at University in Milan last December. Now I’m trying to complete my education studying English in San Diego. After finishing this amazing experience I hope to be able to reach some of the goals which I fixed in my life. The three most important aims that I would like to be successful at are to find a good job in sports sector, to enjoy my life, and to speak English fluently.

One of the important goals in my life is to find a good and interesting job in sports sector. I’d like to be able to combine my business education with my great passion which is sport. After I worked for six month for an internship in a sports product Norwegian company called “Helly Hansen” I realized I love this kind of job related to sports events and sports products. Also in sales department there is the possibility to have a career and to travel around the world. I’m aware that to reach this goals I will have to work hard and to sweat blood.

Another goal is to enjoy my life with friends and family. I love spending time with my friends, especially when we go out to eat excellent food and to drink great Italian wine. My other amazing passion is my soccer team called Juventus, I don’t miss any of its matches, also here, sometimes I wake up during the night to watch it games, I’m so crazy for it. I have a great time also when I travel with my beautiful family, we are adventurous and travel lovers. I’m a lucky guy because I’ve already been in more than 40 countries in all the continents. I hope I can earn money to continue this incredible passion.

Last but not least, I hope I will speak English fluently after this exciting experience in California. I think that without this last purpose I can’t reach the previous two, because at the present time I can’t have a career without good spoken English. So I’m studying in ALI at SDSU to try improving to speak English fluently.

After explaining my goals I have to work hard and to believe always in my capability to reach them in my life, without giving up, and enjoying my life. I have to remember that “Nobody gives you anything”.

There is a saying by Coco Chanel’s, "My life didn't please me, so I created my life."  I thought this quote means if you want success, you need to take chances by yourself. So I think I can take chances. Also I made a chance to change my life. I decided to come to San Diego to change my life. Actually, my life is slightly changing in a good direction. So I think people can take chances to change their life. Then I decided three goals to change my life. The three goals that I want to be successful at are to make a lot of friends, to get my dream job, and to enjoy my life.

My first goal for my success is to make a lot of friends. Friends are very important for people. If I have friends, I can experience a lot of fun things such as parties, picnics and BBQs. In this situation, I think friends make me happy. So if I have friends, I may be able to spend life enjoyable with smile. Also if I have friends, they may help me when I have problems and worries. I think they and I can make chances in cooperation with each other. Therefore it is important for my success to make a lot of friends.

My second goal I want to reach is to get my dream job. A job is important to live. However, I don’t think every job is the key to success. I think success’ key is to enjoy life. So to enjoy, I need to get my dream job. If I can get it, I can enjoy my job and life. In addition, my dream job is an airport staff. This job is too hard to get. So I have to do a lot of effort. However, if I can get this job, I may be able to feel success. That’s why I chose this goal.

My last goal is to enjoy life. I think this is the most important thing to succeed. To not regret is also important to enjoy life. So I need to think carefully and act. I think spending life with smile also needs to enjoy life. If I always smile, I think something good will happen and make good chances. In addition, I need to try various things. If I do it, I can find the best way to succeed.

　　　　　There is my favorite saying, “Let us endeavor to live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.” This was said by Mark Twain. I want to live my life like this saying. I think the undertaker will be sorry means I could live a wonderful and successful life. To spend a wonderful life, I need to achieve these my goals. So I decided this as my goal to be success.

Future goals are a kind of dream, you should practice what one preaches and enjoy the achievements. Some people wish they would be the richest man in the world, some people think routine is happiness, so they choose routine for all their life. I am from Hsinchu, Taiwan, which is a tiny country, and also a small island surrounded by ocean. When I was child taught me how to enjoy my life and to be responsible person, Not care about social status and not compare with others. That’s why my future goals are surrounding and attaching importance to family and life quality: Stable wages in my career job, have lovely family, and healthy my whole life.

For my first goal, I hope I’ll have stable wages in my career job in the future. I don’t need to be very rich man and work very hard, or even ignore family because of my toilsome job and high salary. As a precondition for a stable wage, I must have professional skills for my job, and continue learning new knowledge, thus company would have reason to hire me and give me stable salary. Keep good teamwork ability with my boss (superior authorities) and colleagues, in one company, teamwork is most important, as I have great teamwork ability, stable wage will be true soon.

Second, I hope I’ll have lovely family. Its sort of a sweet burden: family makes me sweet and enthusiastic. In this case, I hope all of my family members should have good tempers, fight as less as with each other, and always care about not only health but also feelings. Creating happiness family is necessary for me. Travel with my family also is one of perfect ways to promote feelings. I do not have to go abroad, even if it’s travel in my city or town, the most important things is to communicate with family members.

Finally, I hope I will always be healthy my whole life. If I don’t a have healthy body, mood and physical body, all of the above goals will be hard to achieve. For the food, I should eat veggies and fruits instead of junk-food, and I should drink water instead of soda or sugar drinking, and eat less oil and less salt, making my body healthy. For mood, happiness is significant key just positive thinking everything, I’ll be happy every day.

I Sing A Hopeful Song to My Goals

 

I like a famous saying, “Only I can change my life. No one can do it for me.” When I want to give up on my goals, this sentence makes me work harder and harder. I am a university student studying marketing and advertising publicity, and also I am an ALI student. I am studying in the BGP(Business English for Global Practices) program that helps me to learn English and Business skill. Today my writing class talked about our goals, so I want to write about my goal. The three goals that I want to get a 900score on the TOEIC, to work at cosmetic company, and to travel around the world with my husband.

First my goal is that to get a 900 score on the TOEIC. I need a high score on the TOEIC because many Korean companies demand a high TOEIC score. Most people have high TOEIC scores because they want to work at a good quality company, and I also want to work at a good company. I should get over 700 score in order to graduate from my university. If my score is lower than 700 score, I will not graduate.

Second my goal is to work at cosmetic company. I have dreamed to work at a cosmetic company since I was 17years old. I really love cosmetics, so I have many cosmetics. Actually I worked AMOREPACIFIC company. I used their cosmetics, and I wrote about that on my blog. Therefor I want to work for AMOREPACIFIC after 2years. Definitely I want to apply my major and my experience. My major is marketing, so I want to work in the marketing department of the company. Now I am a customer, and I will be a marketer. This means I can know both of their minds!

Final my goal is a tour round the world with my husband. This goal is my final goal. I want to enjoy my golden years with my lover. Actually I didn’t have greed to travel round the world. However San Diego life changed my thinking. Travel provides a chance to learn something more and to widen my mental vision. I hope that I will try challenges when I meet new things, and I want to be in love with my husband through the trip.

As you know, I won’t give up in order to reach my goals to get a 900score on the TOEIC, to work at a cosmetic company, and to travel around the world with my husband. When I make an effort to get my goals, many obstacles will come to me. However I will not be afraid. I know that I can do anything. If I can’t advance alone, I will receive help from my family. I know that I can’t live alone and we can support each other. I’m sure my future is bright, and I should reach my goals.

How Many Goals do You Have?

Do you have any goals that you want to reach? I think everyone should have some goals in our lives. There is a famous saying, “Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.” For me, success means you know what you are doing now and what you want. I graduated, but now I’m learning English in the US. After two months, I have to go back to Taiwan. My major is business so I’ll find a job about business. The three goals that I want to reach are finding a job, speaking English fluently, and enjoying life.

        One important goal in my life is to find a job like an international trader. As I graduated from my university, I have to earn money and rely on myself. In order to find a job, first, I have to write a CV. Second, I can search jobs on the internet or go to the job fair. Furthermore, I can also ask my friends to know about hiring information. Besides, I should realize my advantages and weakness. If I understand myself a lot, I think I can perform better in an interview. The last thing I want to mention is to be confident, be prepared, and be positive when interviewing. I believe I can find a job after I go back.

        Another goal I hope to reach is to speak English fluently. If I can speak English fluently, I can have a better position and a higher salary. In addition, it’s a worldwide language. I can use English to communicate with people from other countries. In order to reach this goal, I need to talk to international students and native speakers.

        Lastly, I hope to enjoy life. I think enjoying life means doing everything what you want and like. Furthermore, to appreciate every moment and don’t regret are also important. For me, I like shopping, traveling and dancing. In addition, I like to take a lot of photos. Furthermore, I love to hang out with friends making unforgettable memories.

        In conclusion, I really want to achieve these three goals at this time. What I need to do now is to study hard and play hard. Besides, I would enjoy and appreciate every moment here. I think I am in the right way and I know what I am doing now. Last but not least, I hope everyone can reach the goals what you want to reach and be a successful person.

My Three Goals

My Three Goals    Go Ochitani

               I like this quote, “To change your body you must first change your mind. To get success is hard for everybody. So, many people give up on accomplishing their success. But, if I change my mind and continue to make efforts, I will be able to get success, I think. I am junior student in Japan. My major is economics. I am also an ALI student from October to June. I came to here to study English. Although, I passed three weeks in San Diego, I felt English was very difficult. By the time I finish this school, I will do my best. The three goals that I want to be successful at are to become English speaker, to succeed in find a job, and to get high score about TOEIC.

One important goals in my life is to become an English speaker during the 9 months I am here. So, I don’t want to use Japanese when I am in America. Then, I need to speak and make friends with other people from other countries. Therefore, I must study hard and correct my pronunciation.

An other important goal is to succeed in find a job when I am university student. I am looking for international relationship jobs. At first, I have to research about jobs carefully and know myself. I also must beat pressure and pass the job interview. In addition, I want to believe this quote from now on, “Winning isn’t everything, but wanting to win is”-Vince Lombardi.

My final important goal is to get a high score on the TOEIC before I start a job interview. To begin with, I need to study hard, especially, vocabulary and grammar. I should practice and take the test TOEIC many times. And I have to use English many times, for example, at school, in restaurants and shops in America.

Finally, my three goals in the future have to effort hard. I will do my best because I don’t want to lose myself. I hope I will accomplish these goals all.
