| | | <p>Everyone’s first job is special.There are a couple of reasons for this:the experience is |
| | | burned into one’s memory; it gives you the practice needed to |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'fulfill')">fulfill</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc">fulfill</span> |
| | | other positions; and |
| | | it teaches you about the value of money. |
| | | </p> |
| | | <p>When I was sixteen years old,I wanted to buy a new speed |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'cube')">cube</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc">cube</span> |
| | | ,but I did not have any money.My |
| | | parents were not the type of people to give money to me out of nowhere,or even for work done |
| | | at home.I had to find work in order to purchase one. |
| | |

| | | <p>So,I |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'inquired')">inquired</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >inquired</span> |
| | | as to who could give me work around town.I lived in the town of Woodway,which |
| | | had enough people,especially |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'elderly')">elderly</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc">elderly</span> |
| | | people,who needed help in their yards.I went to the |

| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'neighbourhood')">neighbourhood</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >neighbourhood</span> |
| | | ,Mrs.Hudson.She was over eighty years old,and could |
| | | not tend her garden anymore.She had flowers,a grass lawn,and some tomato plants.I knocked on |
| | | her door,building up enough courage to ask her for work.She answered that indeed she needed |
| | | help in her garden. |
| | | </p> |
| | | <p>My first job was to pull out |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'weeds')">weeds</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc">weeds</span> |
| | | .I got down on my knees with |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'foam')">foam</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >foam</span> |
| | | protectors and began to |
| | | pull out weeds one by one in her front yard and backyard.After this |

| | | <span class="word-bc" >lawn</span> |
| | | —front and back.That was it for my first day,and it took me about two hours.I asked her |
| | | how much I would get paid,and she said,“I will give you $5 an hour.” It was less than I |
| | | thought I would get paid,but at least I had a job and the money for my cube. |
| | | </p> |
| | | <p>I think everyone should get down on one’s knees and pull weeds.I think everyone should feel |
| | | the burning sun on one’s back as they mow.It seems these experiences |

| | | <p>We spend a large |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'portion')">portion</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >portion</span> |
| | | of our lives working,so how we spend those years matters.It is |
| | | beneficial to find a career that will bring satisfaction and happiness rather than find one |
| | | based on income. |
| | |
| | | <p>When we have a job that we love,we are more productive and satisfied.There is more passion to |
| | | get up in the morning and begin working.There are more positive emotions associated with |
| | | doing something we care about.Sometimes people choose a certain |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'profession')">profession</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >profession</span> |
| | | because of past |
| | | experiences. |
| | | </p> |
| | | <p>Someone may choose to be an actor because they want others to be happy.Someone may choose to |
| | | be a doctor because someone they knew was ill.Someone may choose to be a |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'vet')">vet</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >vet</span> |
| | | because they |
| | | care about animals.These past experiences may influence a career,and the career may provide |
| | | more satisfaction and a sense of purpose. |
| | |
| | | <p>We shouldn’t spend a lot of time worrying about where we should be.Things will fall into |
| | | place as they are meant to.There isn’t one correct path and everyone’s life is different.We |
| | | may face challenges that bring greater |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'outcomes')">outcomes</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >outcomes</span> |
| | | later on. |
| | | </p> |
| | | <p>Some may argue that they need more money to survive and be happy.It is true that we need |
| | | money to survive,but after a certain amount it doesn’t give us any more happiness.It can |
| | | provide |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'necessities')">necessities</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >necessities</span> |
| | | like food,water,clothes,and |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'shelter')">shelter</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >shelter</span> |
| | | .It can also provide |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'luxuries')">luxuries</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >luxuries</span> |
| | | like |
| | | vacations and going out to eat at a restaurant.But when we enjoy something,the feeling of |
| | | enjoyment doesn’t last forever.We usually return to our |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'baseline')">baseline</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc">baseline</span> |
| | | state shortly after.Every |
| | | individual’s needs are different,but we can sometimes play a part in our |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'emotional')">emotional</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >emotional</span> |
| | | state.Having more luxury items and wants doesn’t bring happiness that lasts. |
| | | </p> |
| | | <p>Having a career that we are |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'passionate')">passionate</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >passionate</span> |
| | | about,one that gives our life a sense of purpose,and |
| | | one that we are |
| | | <span class="word-bc" @click="saveWord($event, 'comfortable')">comfortable</span> |
| | | <span class="word-bc" >comfortable</span> |
| | | with is important.Finding a career shouldn’t be based on income |
| | | or forced.We spend a huge amount of our lives working,so we should spend this time doing |
| | | something we are passionate about. |
