- Last Day At The Job The Essay “Last day at the job” It’s not a secret that today there are some problems on the labor market. 50 % of young people, maybe, more, don’t work in the sphere of their speciality. What worse that a lot of employees consider their work only a means of earning money. They are not happy with their job and, sure, the last day at the job is a real holiday for them. At the same time there are many people who are fond of their job, but don’t have enough free time because of a long-time workday. It’s awful that there is a 40-hours work week in our country. Contemporary society needs reducing of this time and increasing of free time. It’s a well-known fact for economists that GDP depends on a quantity of free time, time for personal development. Due to the process of humanization and technological progress human community will get more free time and consequently freedom to realize their dreams. Another aspect of the problem is a time of pension ages. For people who are waiting for their pension the increasing of these ages is a real emotional upset. My mother like the woman of the poem by G. Cryer and N. Ford is waiting for her last day at the job to do her favorite hobbies, to knit, to make toys, and plant some flowers. And I know how it’s important to her, how it warms her soul. It’s very sad, that one’s life passes by, fly away because we need to spend her on the earning means for existing, though we have a lot of dreams. Here I’d like to cite the song of Rocky Leon “I’m gonna quit my job”. He sings: I'm gonna leave my house and buy a van I'm gonna see as much of earth as I can Not gonna wait till I'm a sick old man I'm gonna trust in god … I’m gonna quit my job! To my mind these words are a quintessence of the story by G. Cryer and N. Ford about the women decided to quit her job. Big things and big changes are coming for one when he or she gets freedom. Surely, there are exceptions; some people can’t imagine their life without job, their single meaning of life. And for such people the woman will be proof that the loss of their job is odds to begin new life, to realize previous dreams, and probably even get a taste of life de novo. Sometimes we should pluck up courage and do the step to the best future.June 4, 201220
(Russian) My Introduction
Дамы и господа, и учителя
Для начала, спасибо уже за ваше внимание. Для меня большая честь представить себя с вами (рассказать вам о себе). Меня зовут Алексей. Мне 30 лет и я из маленького городка в Тайване, Хуалянь. Меня воспитывали Я вырос с мои любимые бабушка и дедушка. Они были очень красивыми и хорошими.
У меня есть диплом бакалавра юридических наук в Фу-жэнь католическом университете и диплом мастера политике в Университете Нань-хуа.
Я работал в течение шести лет подряд в разных обществах организациях:
1) Компания по продаже электронных продуктов
2) Компания человеческих ресурсов (What des it mean?)
3) Компания транспорт Транспортная компания
4) мои рестораны
5) правительство
Это позволило мне сэкономить заработать (накопить) достаточно денег, чтобы начать новые докторские исследования мастера и доктора.
Так что я пошел к господину моему руководителю. Мне было 27 лет. В годы моего обучения Учителя, я получил стипендию от Варшавского университета для ознакомительной поездки в Польшу. После того, как Польши, настала очередь России. После получения национальной науки, я пошел за почти полгода в Саратовском университете(???). Моя научная работа сосредоточена на отношениях между странами Балтии и России. Кроме того, я присутствовал на двух конференциях в университете.0 votedMay 24, 20122- Culture and Globalization Sure, the dominance of any one culture is bad and dangerous for society. It will be disastrous for humanity. Today people from over the world discuss the globalization. Ardent opponents of this negative tendency, anti-globalist activists persist in saving of multiculturalism. If earlier only culture of small nations was in danger, now there is a risk to lose cultural roots in a range of big countries. The reason is the dominance of mass culture which is the powerful tool to control mass conscience. The consequences of globalization are noticed now. It’s rather difficult to meet a person dressed in a national costume, people seldom listen to a national music, but it is especially sad that young people don’t know their culture, history and furthermore they don’t know native language. A lot of native values were lost. There is no a national idea in our country. Ok, let’s try to look at this issue from the other hand. First of all globalization means integration (or intrusion of any one culture, but let’s continue). Integration has big benefits for humanity. It may help us to avoid the risk of ethnic conflicts and ultimately new wars. Moreover we won’t need translators if we have only one language. Everything is likely to be good. But in my opinion is a never-never. In addition people don’t want to be victims of globalization. Vanishing of differences leads to the wave of angst. I’m sure that we should not admit the dominance of any one culture. The differences are strength of humanity. For instance, Eastern Culture and Western Culture are absolutely dissimilar but they are equally valuable for the planet’s population. The variety of cultures as well as the variety of species is a necessary condition to save life on our planet and to continue mankind development.May 23, 201210
- Charisma Charisma is something that everybody wants to have and that is not available for every person, I suggest. It's something invisible that can’t be defined. It’s rather difficult to understand, to unravel the essence of charisma. Sure, we can say that it is ability to attract people, to influence on audience. However it seems to me, this definition is not complete, it needs some addition. I have no idea, how explain by words what charisma is. I can go on discussing charisma only by illustrating this phenomenon. First of all, charisma is usually associated with politicians. For instance, a lot of presidents of USA (Washington, Kennedy, and Obama) are charismatic. Secondly, it’s an inalienable feature of actors. For example, Russian actors Mironov, Yankovsky, Garkalin are very charismatic and fascinating… Their speech is lush and convincing and can attract one’s attention so strongly that it will be difficult to tear off glance. There is something mysterious in their manners and gestures. Also a lot of humorists, singers are success in their activity because of their charisma, their confident behavior. They can always save face. I don’t know how it works but I’m sure it’s not always your natural abilities, very often charisma is a result of the hard inner efforts. For instance, I red memoirs of the daughter of Russian politician Pieter Stolypin . According to her description, Stolypin always worried about public performance but his speech was unforgettable, his speeches made people cry and rejoice. So, I don’t know what charisma is, but it’s not only innate but it is also trained. There is likely everything that I’d like to say. I have no idea what can be added to my thoughts.May 22, 201201
- Art should be available for everyone Let me begin from quoting. Lenin’s words come to mind: Art belong to public. : ) So, it’s not the statement to doubt, I suggest. All kinds of art, including painting are designed to activate feelings and conscience of society. Priceless paintings made us think about eternal and eventual, real and unreal, about religion and belief, about everyday problems and something escaping from our attention, something that now remains only a part of our history. It as though painters send us a message through ages telling us about their epoch and reflecting their mentality. Having seen some masterpiece, one can revalue life, changing the view on some problems and even one’s live principles. Moreover, there is a particular feeling. It’s an aesthetic feeling. The man has a need to see something beautiful every day. I’m sure meditation under the beautiful lets a person develop other high feelings. Everyone should feel oneself a participator of history and art as nothing else realize this aim. Unfortunately there are some barriers between individual and priceless paintings. There are expensive tickets, a location of paintings in private unavailable collections, bad restoration, your location and maybe something else. Expensive tickets are a real problem, but, you know, there are discounts and free admission for children, students, and pensioners. I have no idea how people cope with the second problem. Perhaps they use the same means that applying to decide the problem of location. Salutation is rather wise. There are a lot of websites where you can commit a virtual visit to well-known museums of Art. It makes the Art more available. To conclude, I should say that there is one more barrier. It’s a lack of free time. But I soon believe that Art always will find audience no matter how.May 22, 201231
