What is a very important skill a person should learn? I think that being diligent is the most important skill that you can learn today. Diligent people are working for their goals, taking every effort necessary to achieve them, while lacy people are just sitting around and hope that their dreams came true whiteout every effort. Although it its true, that intelligence is probably more important than diligence, being intelligent is something you can’t learn. Many recent studies have proven, that human’s IQ don’t vary over their lifetime or vary only on a very small scale. Diligence on the other hand is a skill everybody can develop. Just set one step after another will enlarge your comfort-zone until you become a very diligent person. Being diligent have many advantages in life. Firstly, you will become able to achieve almost every goal you decide to achieve in life. Now you have the ability to do whatever it takes to achieve your goals. A diligent person will work day and night to attain every single goal. Therefore you will have an incredible advantage over lacy people. Other people will simply consider something not worthy to invest their precious TV-time. Secondly, being diligent will let you grow a lot of self-confidence; another very important quality. Finally reaching your goals have these impact on most humans. Finally, you will be able manage your private and work life like you want. You will set also some goals for your work and private life which than you will achieve thanks to your diligence. That con let to a promotion at work and a much better life at home. For all the aforementioned reasons diligence is the most important skill you actually can learn. Why shouldn’t you try it?

Getting up early and finish early or getting up late and finish late? I highly prefer to getting up early in the morning and start whit the day’s work. My clock rings every day, except for Sunday, at 5:20 am because of the following reasons: Firstly, at 5:20 am I’m the only person awake, which allows me to focus on my top priority tasks. If nobody is awake, no one can disturb or distract you. At this time you can be sure to hear no disturbing noise at all. Secondly, early in the morning I’ve got a lot of concentration and willpower left, which decrease during the day. In fact, both get reduced by every decision we make during the whole day. Therefore you will be very productive if you get up early and focus on your most important projects. Another reason to get up early in the morning is the receptivity ability which the brain has in the morning. I’ve personally made the experience, that if I try to learn at 8 pm or later, I remember only a little part of the information the next day, but if I’m learning something by heart early in the morning instead, I’m able to memorize much more. Finally, if your day starts early in the morning, you will be able to finish earlier and therefore you can enjoy the evening whit your friends and family. If you instead of getting up early and finishing your work early, get up late and finish your work late, you wont be able to enjoy time whit your friends and family because most of the social events take place at evening. Or have you ever been at a party at 7 am? For all the aforementioned reasons, I highly recommend to get up early in the morning to start the day’s work. I know that its not easy at the beginning, but once you get used to it and you will, it is great. You should try it too; what can you lose?

In your opinion, what are qualities of a good neighbor? Everyone agrees on the importance of a good nieghborship, but most aren’t very harmonious. Probably because one ore both are leaking of the following qualities: Being friendly is certainly the most important attitude for a good neigborship, as it is all relationships. Nobody likes spending time whit a rude person and probably will threat the rude person also rude, which causes even more conflict. It is also very important to help your neighbor, if he need some help. Your neighbor will be very pleased if you water his plants when he is on holiday or if you borrow him some worktools and certainly will return you the favor. A single gesture can be the beginning of a lifelong friendship. A good neighbor should also be responsible and take care of both apartments, specially in these days, where homes get raid almost regularly. An attention paining neighborhood can prevent burglaries and other bad things. Everyone appreciate a respectful and quiet neighbor, which doesn’t party every weekend until 3 am in his apartment and how also consider his neighbors interests. If both house are near to each other or specially if you life in different apartments in the same house, both will be happy if their neighbor don’t make too much noise, so that they didn’t have to hear the hole life of their neighbor. Keeping your garden clean can also improve the quality of your neighborship, specially if your neighbor is dedicating a lot of time on the cure of his garden. Keep in mind that your garden is visible by the hole neighborhood and affects its image regarding everyone who sees it. In conclusion I want to say, that a good neighborship is very important and isn’t impossible to have, if both neighbors are following some basic rules of human behavior, which should be generally known.

Do you prefer earning a lot of money or having more free time? At least for the moment, I prefer earning a lot of money for the following reasons: Firstly, if you are young, what I am, you still have nothing. No car, no home, no money. You first have to build up something in your life, before you should focus on increasing your free time or your work-life-balance. By the way, what do you want to do in your free time, if you haven’t any money to spend and no car to drive somewhere? Secondly, I consider it more important to focus on your carrier, which is impossible if you are working only a few hours per day or a few days per week. If you really want to climb up the latter, you need to be present, to focus on your tasks and you must spend time on networking whit your colleagues. Another reason for choosing money over free time is a high standard of living. If you want to have a high standard of living you need to earn a lot of money. And how of us don’t want one? Finally, you need to consider the mechanism of compound interests. If you are young and able to put a lot of money by side and let them work for you they will grant you even more money, for which you don’t have to do anything than to wait. If you consider an interest rate of 9 % p.a. and you invest $ 10.000,00, in ten years you will have $ 30.000,00. And that whiteout working for your money. By concluding I want to say that if you were young you probably choose the money because of the reasons exposed, but I would perfectly understand if an older citizen prefers the free time.

Is it better tp enjoy your money when your earn it or to save it money for some time in the future? Spending what your earn is a very famous household trend today. It can be very satisfying buy a lot of new stuff and life whit a very high life standard. Nevertheless you should safe your money for some time in the future by virtue of the following reasons: Firstly, if you spend all you money as fast as your earn it, you are very limited in your possibilities of decision making. If you for example decide to make a certain master, which is required by your company to get a promotion and you haven’t safe any money you need to safe money for the next 5 years before you finally can do what you’ve decided to do. Therefor you must safe money if you will remain flexible and adaptable in life. Secondly, you need to safe some money to gain a financial cushion and be prepared for some inconveniences in life. If a family member for example has an accident or gets sick, you may need some money to help him and pay for the surgery or the medial cure. If you haven’t any that can finish fatal for the affected person and also for your conscience. Another reason to safe money is older care. Everyone of us knows that the pension isn’t safe anymore. Therefore everyone must take care of himself and safe enough money to have a good evening of life, to make it possible to afford the drugs you need and to pay for your retirement home. Finally, it can be very satisfactorily to know that trough your hard work you was be able to safe all the money on your bank account and that you are a responsible person because now you can benefit from all the previously mentioned reasons. Trough all the reasons previously explained you should still keep going on spending money and enjoying your life, but you should also safe a certain amount whenever its possible.

Essay: Should studends be free to attend a certain classes at university? University is an institution of freedom and knowledge. This principle, which many universities implemented even in their name (for example Free University of Innsbruck), should be, if considerated seriously, valid not only for the relationship of the universities whit the state, but also for the relationship of the university whit their students. That implies, that nobody should be forced to study in a certain manner by attending a certain class. The only thing important should be, that the student is in possession of knowledge required for passing the exam. You can forced students to join certain classes, but you can’t force them to be prepared and even less to pain attention. By forcing them to come the university creates only chaos in the classroom, taking the possibility to profit from a lesson of these students, that actually want to be present. If every student is free to come the university assures that ever professor is applying himself to give the best lecture possible, because if he is for example boring or don’t communicate the knowledge required he will soon be lonely. In this prospective by letting students decide if they what attend classes the university improves the quality of their lessens whit whiteout spending a single dollar. If a professo gives good lectures the students will come and participate spontaneously. A good example is the Harvard Ethics class, which is known as one of the best worldwide and which many people (me included) have watched online whiteout any obligation. Because of this reasons I hope that university will give the freedom to decide if they want attend a certain class or don’t.

Formal E-Mail: Lifeguard assistants wanted Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to apply for the job of lifeguard which I saw advertised in my university’s student newspaper. I am 23 years old and at the moment I have just started studying Management and Business Administration at the UIBH in Germany.

As for my character, people tell me I am a responsible person, always focused at work, paying a lot of attention to my environment and a good team-player. I feel I would be suitable for this fob because of my experience and my character and because I take my job always serious and am very motivated.
