People work because they need money to live. What are some other reasons that people work? Discuss one or more of these reasons. Use specific examples and details to support your answer.
--------------------------------------------
The main reason for working with majority of population is earning money. However some exceptional individual may have some different reasons for working.
The reasons for working are as individual as the person. Nevertheless, we all work because we obtain something that we need from work. Reward thus obtained from the work impacts morale, motivation, and the quality of life. Some people work for personal fulfillment; others work for love of what they do. Others work to accomplish goals and to feel as if they are contributing to something larger than themselves. The bottom line is that we all work for money and for reasons too individual to assign similarities to all workers. Frederick Irving Herzberg a noted psychologist, who became one of the most influential names in business management, considers that 'feelings of self-improvement, achievement, and the desire for the acceptance of greater responsibility' are more important than money to the people.
In contrast, very interestingly, Directors have all the job satisfaction they need or want. They carry considerable responsibility and success often depends on individual effort. They have nicely and often luxuriously furnished offices, dine in the directors' dining room, have the benefit of a company car and last but not least work with pleasant colleagues in a pleasant way. It is because they have all the job satisfaction, what they want is money that is more important to them.
In a nutshell different people have different motivation and objectives behind work. Hence it cannot be generalized that people work only for money.

General expectancy age of the mankind has risen appreciably. The contributing factors to this are as detailed below.
Prior to 14th century mankind used to dwell in jungles with no proper food, clothes or medicines. People never knew to protect themselves from dangerous animals and poisonous reptiles. They were ignorant about protecting themselves against natural calamities like floods, tsunami, earthquakes and jungle fire etc. Mankind suffered from many dreadful diseases and no aid was developed hence men and women succumb to illnesses.
Period between 14th & 17th centaury was the period of “Renaissance”. That was the period full of activity and spirit, time of great revival of art, literature, and learning.

“People Do What They Know, Others Prefer To Do New Things”
Some people like to do only what they already do well. Other people prefer to try new things and take risks. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your choice.
-----------------------------------------------
Form my experience and information; I strongly believe that people who succeeded in life had to work hard. They adopted the new ways and changed their modus operandi accordingly from time to time and gained more knowledge and experience in order to achieve their goals. In the contrast other group of people who went on doing the same things all their life that they knew well, those never improved in the direction of progress and advancement.
First of all, people who want to succeed must constantly update and improve their knowledge and gain more experience. Moreover, they must be the best at their profession. So, they need to try new things, take calculated risks sometimes and change way of working and work hard.
Prior to computerization era people use to do all paper work manually. This would generate tremendous amount of written data in the form of papers and bulk of files. Recalling a data was a real time consuming and a difficult task. One had to struggle a lot to search and find relevant data. Also such a bulk of records needed several record rooms to be constructed and money was spent towards real estate.
With computerization all these hassles have gone and the entire data; current and past can be stored on compact laptops and compact discs for that matter. If a person does not learn computer operation and adopt it he or she is great loser in this scenario. Those who have learnt computer operation and adopted it are the gainers.
In conclusion one must not merely cling to the things he or she knows but one must keep learning new things and keep pace with the time to be a gainer and winner.

“People Are Never Satisfied”
Do you agree with the following statement? People are never satisfied with what they have; they always want something more or something different. Use specific reasons to support your answer.
-------------------------------------------------
I fully agree that people are never satisfied with what they have; they always want more.
Profoundly everyone wants to feel love, but none wants to give it without the hope of some reward or returns. Everyone wants to be fulfilled with something and the said fulfillment vanishes very swiftly thus one never feels contended. Rightly a thing that is meant to satisfy us and give us pleasure stops doing so after an interval. Hence no one is ever satisfied with what he or she possesses rather one starts visualizing the next want.
When everything one achieves stops exciting him or her then one keeps thinking about how much he or she misses and how imperfect the life is without it. So it is not only that one can’t enjoy what one has achieved, but one also sinks deep into a perpetual pleasure hunt. The problem is not that one wants too much or that one wants to take over the whole world to experience everything. The real problem is that even if one would achieve this, dissatisfaction shall still persist. It is because one feels more unfulfilled, unhappy and bored simply because the desires keep growing and one wants endlessly more and more.
What you need is a desire that will never stop fulfilling you. It has to fulfill you endlessly, making you feel more and more pleasure. It shouldn’t fade away once achieved, but on the contrary, upon achieving it, the pleasure should increase.
In conclusion the desires must be in perfect balance with the environment. In addition to all the basic wants of sex, hunger, thirst, shelter, sleep, family, money, honor, power and knowledge, any additional desires and wants are unnecessary.

“Parents Are the Best Teachers”
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Parents are the best teachers. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
----------------------------------------
I agree that parents are the best teachers. In this essay we will see how parents are the best teachers.
It is the environment that gives shape to any personality. Hence every newly born baby sees the surrounding where one opens the eyes. Child listens to what is spoken in the house and child imitates all what he or she perceives from the environment. Quite obvious the builders of any such environment are the parents. If parents in a house are very loving, caring, soft spoken, non smokers, and teetotaler and disciplined, child learns to imitate and reproduce good things. Conversely if parents are smokers, drinkers, quarrelsome, using offensive language and undisciplined, child would learn bad things like smoking, drinking, quarreling, abusing etc. and shall imitate and reproduce those behaviors. Parents are the one with whom children spend majority of time and hence parents are the real character builders of their children.
As per theory of Human Psychology, whatever a child sees, experiences, hears, and speaks and feels up to the age of five that has everlasting and life long impression in the mind of a child. If all those impressions are healthy and good child turns out to be a good personality or else the other way.
In a nutshell, after the preliminary fundamentally sound education in home when the child goes to school one performs well and progresses consistently. In the later years of a child’s education, parents must devote some time for their children to educate them. This shall have a very positive impact on the tender minds of the children and they will perform well. Needless to say “Parents Are the Best Teachers”.

“Own a Business or Do a Job”
Some people prefer to work for themselves or own a business. Others prefer to work for an employer. Would you rather be self-employed, work for someone else, or own a business? Use specific reasons to explain your choice.
-------------------------------------------------
I am a retired Manager from a government organization. I feel persons need change with the time. Whether to opt for a job, or be self employed or start own business shall depend on various factors as elaborated below.
Establishing own business calls for two main resources like Capital and experience. Further more education is a paramount importance for success. If one has studied well the, demand and supply factor, competition, safety factor, and he or she has an aptitude for business with enough capital resource one can start and establish own business. To start with a business afresh one must know his or her risk appetite too and then only decide. The best thing in business that I like the most is that one is master of his or her own.
Coming to fixed hour job, one need not bother about the capital availability and risk. According to ones qualification and experience employer may or may not appoint one.
Job is usually fixed hour job and any extra hours worked are paid as overtime wage and conversely in case of absenteeism wages are deducted which sounds quite fair. Jobs are ideal for acquiring work experience that becomes a most valuable asset for an individual.
Furthermore for those who retire from jobs, I feel most ideal is to be self employed. I know many pensioners who run their coaching classes in various subjects; secondly they operate as freelancers agents with many insurance companies and finance brokers; stock brokers or the mutual fund brokers. Those freelancers get in proportion to what they give and are masters of their own. They enjoy a feel of freedom and self actualization.
In nutshell one may chose the right alternative depending upon ones need and resources.
