My Expectations for My Future
As junior students, half of our college life has passed. It is no exaggeration to say that our college is coming to an end soon. When we finally become senior students, most of us will be occupied in looking for our jobs . Therefore, it is high time that we should think about our future life and make a detailed plan for ourselves previously. Chance only favors the minds that are prepared. We can not choose our identity, but we can choose how to live our life.
Rome was not built in one day. So the more prepared, the brighter our future will be. After a deep contemplatation, three most possible decisions of mine are made. If it possible, I would like to be businesswoman, an English teacher in primary school or a civil servant. Those are my prior choices. There are enormous justifications for me to make such a decision. I will show you in the following one by one.
Having been studying for so many years, I expect to apply what I have learnt to the reality. Since I am an English major, I aspire to get a job which is related to my major. That is the main reason why to be a businesswoman is my first choice. To be more exact, it is to be a businesswoman who is dealing international trades with foreigners. By doing this job, I can get pretty many opportunities to communicate with foreigners by using those knowledge that I have

acquired. It makes me happy when I could assert myself with what I have obtained. What's more, numerous foreign friends will be made during this process. I am the very person who are fond of making friends, for friendship is the golden thread that ties the hearts of all the world. Besides, traveling is one of my favourite things. A quantity of chances will find me if my expection of becoming a businesswoman could become true. Traveling around the world will be the order of the day. Thus my dream of traveling to many countries will be realised during the period of doing my business. It is not only convenient but also does not cost yourself much money, for the company will pay mostly for it. Even though, I should not abuse the money which the company provides for my task.
Bald eagles are birds that can often be found on very high altitudes. There they soar and with their very sharp eyesight they have a clear view on the world below them and especially on the prey they want to catch; fish, that is what they like most.They can see the milky white spot in the water from a distance of many miles. In high places they build their nests.
On a rock, on the top of a tree but always on a spot where they have a good view on the world that surrounds them. And from their castle they see what is happening around them and that gives security.

The businessman should also have a clear view on what is appening in the market. From very far he should recognize his potential customers and \them at the right moment. At the same time he should be aware of the dangers that surround him, anticipate, absorb the environment and be prepared to act immediately.
Bald eagles are confined to their territories. With the seasons some migrate but you find bald eagles only in a specific habitat namely forests, mountains and near sea and rivers. You won't find them in the desert. In their habitat they know what to do, where they can find prey and which dangers surround them. By instinct and by learning they have knowledge about the way they have to conduct their lives and about how they have to behave in this habitat. They will never go beyond the limitations of this frame work. If they do, they die.
This holds a lesson for the businessman. He should know everything about his business and when I say everything, I mean everything. He should know all about the products he sells from beginning to end, every detail should be an open book to him.
He can never be surprised with questions on which he has no answers. He should know about marketing techniques, the position and plans of competitors etc., etc. And if he doesn't possess this

knowledge by nature, he has to learn it.
When Bald Eagles catch prey, they will catch only one fish at a time. It is not possible for them to catch more. But they know precisely how to catch this one fish. Their flying skills, their strong talons and their yesight are extremely well developed and fit for the job. Almost every attempt to catch a prey is successful.
This phenomenom also holds a wise lesson for the businessman. He has to restrict himself to a number of products he can handle and products that matches his skills and abilities. To stay in the animal world: if you are a cow don't try to jump fences like a horse. People will only laugh at you. It is better to sell one product very well than ten without a satisfying result.
Bald eagles mate for life and they are absolutely loyal to each other. From high altitudes the two birds tumble down in a dangerous free fall. Mocking the laws of gravity they unite. Only just above the tree tops they separate and fly wing by wing to the nest. This spectacular show requires great courage.
A businessman also needs courage to be successful. He has to make decisions about difficult and uncertain subjects. And he also needs to know when to stop his free fall. Having courage to make difficult ecisions is not synonymous for being reckless. A decision that leads to disaster is not a decision, but a wild guess.
