The novel One Indian Girl 

Yesterday, I finished reading the novel "One Indian Girl", written by Chetan Bhagat. This is the first book (in English do you mean?) which I've read completely. Usually when I read a book, I start to get bored in the middle of it, so I stop and never finish it.

This novel is about a young Indian woman who was a very studious, but average looking girl. The story describes the three important phases of her life.

The first part tells how she got the opportunity to work at a reputable investment company in New York.  Due to the good work she did for the firm and praise from her boss, this led to a quick promotion (Is this what you're trying to say?). Early on, since she was very reserved, she didn't interact much with her coworkers. After she settled into her career though, she began taking an interest in boys. She eventually met a guy through one of her friends. She liked him so they started dating, even though he earned less money than she did. Later on, when he became aware that she earned more money than him, he couldn't foresee a future of them being together so he broke it off with her (I'm guessing here). She had fallen in love, and felt that she could not live without him. She dreamed about leaving her job, marrying him, and staying home to raise their kids. She thought she would surprise him by showing up at his apartment with a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a ring. Since she had an extra key, she let herself in, but was surprised when she found him with another woman. After all this happened, she could not concentrate on her work, so she tried to resign. Her boss didn't want her to leave so suggested she transfer to another city in the US. There, she met another guy and the second phase of her life began.

Is it fair that successful athletes can earn more money than people in other important professions?

    It is quite common for some successful athletes to earn high salaries. Those at the top may become celebrities and live a fabulous life with big houses and many cars. While some people argue that it’s unfair, I think it’s pretty reasonable.
    Opponents of the opinion that great sports professionals should receive high salaries may believe that when compared to other productive industries, athletes do not contribute much to society.  I believe this is a narrow-minded view. Successful sports professionals are vital representatives of their mother (or home) countries. For example, the Chinese Ping-Pong team, without any rivals in world competition for years, has become one of the most famous draws in all of China. In addition, excellent athletes also inspire adolescents with a competitive spirit, encouraging them to never give up and follow their dreams.
    Apart from that, athletes who earn a great deal of money are always the best in their careers. In fact, it is quite justified that the most talented person in his or her field earns more than others. What’s more, successful athletes are usually followed by a large number of fans, which means they can have a powerful influence upon those followers. From a business perspective, companies often choose successful athletes for advertising to appeal their audience.
    In conclusion, with their remarkable achievements and large number of fans, successful athletes have value for both business and society. Having experienced tough training, when they finally reach the top, they get what they deserve.
