Bill Gates, a successful person ( draft 1 )

Bill Gates is the person who I respect the most. He is successful in his career because of his persistence and hard-working. Born in a rich family and having a sister who is older than him, Gates had lived in a good environment. His parents are strict while at the same time respect them. Gates has a gift especially for math. Moreover, he has fallen in love with computer since he got in touch with it for the first time at the age of thirteen. Therefore, studying and digging into things related to computer system has been his lifelong interest.

  He quit Harvard University without graduating and then created Microsoft with his friend. Never did them think that the company will be so successful and brilliant in the future. It goes without saying that in the process to success, he was faced with a lot of obstacles. For example, some software entrepreneur tried all they can to find out some reasons to defeat Gates. To be frank, Gates was confused and helpless at that time. Nevertheless, he took the challenge and keeps moving forward to ride out the difficulty.

  There are many reasons result in his success. For instance, he spends a lot of time to communicate with others, trying to express his concepts to others clearly. He says that the biggest challenge is to find the best people and organize them, doing the best thing for the society and for people worldwide.

  He is crazy about his job. In other words, he loves his job and he enjoys working. Others think that it’s too bitter for him to work all the time; however, he is happy to be busy. Gates says that he wants to be a person who will not regret for his goal and dream and that he will devote all his life in working. What attract me the most is that he doesn’t care about how much money he makes. On the contrary, he cares that whether he would be too old to come up with creative ideas.

Although he makes a great deal of money, he isn’t selfish at all. Unlike many successful people, Gates is devoted to charities all over the world, helping people who are suffered and live in a bad environment. I respect him from the bottom of my heart. He is an ideal model for me to learn something from. His perseverance, hard-working, creativity, and benevolence are what I lack and what I have to learn.

self-introduction

I’m Dora, a student studying in National Chung Hsing University. I live in Kaohsiung until I got into this university. I live in a small village where the people are kind and generous. My family consists of five people, namely my parents, my sister, my brother, and I. My friends always say that I’m an easygoing person, and that I have good temper. Actually, I’m shy and sometimes afraid of contacting someone I don’t know. I think I’m optimistic and always think things in a positive way. In my opinion, only by thinking in this way can I live a happy life because I don’t want to be nervous all day or worried about things which are difficult to me.

My favorite country is Japan. I love its traditional culture and the picturesque scenery. Moreover, my hobby is watching Japanese drama. They always give me a lot of important moral lessons and make me think of many things in my daily life or even in the society. Unlike some romantic drama, Japanese drama is more interesting and instructive. This is the reason why I love them. Besides, I love exercise. Sometimes I go jogging; exercising makes me throw my bad emotion away. Through doing exercise, I can refresh myself and keep moving forward.

I had ever taken part in English recitation contest in junior high school and English composition contest in senior high school which was held by Kaohsiung City. When I was in my eleventh grade, I participated in 2009 World Game in Kaohsiung as an interviewer to interview foreign athletes on behalf of my school. It is a special and interesting experience to me. I can contact with people from other countries and talk to them; I learn a lot from them such as the sport they play and culture they have. Moreover, I know that they really value their job, namely the sport. They do a lot of training and pay much effort throughout many years. After hearing this, I realized why the players in Taiwan are hard to exceed them.

Now I’m a sophomore; I should consider my future instead of fooling around all day. As an English major student, it goes without saying that I want to apply what I have learned in this period to my job in the future. I don’t have a very definite idea what I’m going to do in the future. What I can do now is try my best to learn and remember the knowledge that is useful to me.
