1 Dear _________,
2 How are you? I hope you are enjoying your vacation. Lately, I did something which I am
3 shameful for. It was an accident. I dropped a hot soap on myself and unintentionally I
4 waved my hand away as a reaction. Unfortunately, my handed hit your favorite antic
5 bowl and It broke.
6
7 I am sorry for what happened. I know how much you loved it. You may now be regretting
8 let me stay in your house. I wish it were possible to go back in time and avoid it. I wish
9 you accepted my apology.
10
11 I found a way to please you. Yesterday, I was looking on a similar one. Luckily, I found an
12 online auction offering the same exact bowl. I bided and closely monitoring it. I am going
to get it at any cost. The bid ends this Monday; it will be yours. Meanwhile, I request you
13
to inform me from where you bought it initially. You had a great deal of knowledge with
antics retails.

2 Nowadays, people are more concerned about social appearances and
3 wages even when it comes to career choice. Majority choose their future jobs
4 based on above-mentioned criteria. This ongoing trend noticed through lack in
5 the number of technicians. There is a preference for managerial jobs. People
6 became concerned with the job title more than what they are going to become
7 unique at it.

9 Most high school students either wants to become a doctor, engineer or
10 police officers. However, If they managed to become one, some of them regret
11 it when they become mature. For instance, I personally know a family member
12 who is a doctor. She feels that she lost her youth in studying medicine. Firstly,
She spent 7 years to obtain a B.Sc degree then another 4 years to become a
13
specialist. Secondly, 5 years of research to keep with latest discoveries in the
14
15
16 field. Now, she is 40 years and supposed to start gaining her efforts but it did
17 not pay off.
18
19 Another example is my college, who changed his career; he tried different
20 field related to his study as a mechanical engineer but he did not feel
21 comfortable. Therefore, he decided to move on and become a musician. He is
22 naturally talented and was practicing since he was 15 years old. Now, he is
23 traveling all over the world to perform concerts. He followed his instinct. It
was a bold move.

Overall, we should not choose a job based on title or wage. It does matter
what people think of you; what really matters is what you really think of
yourself. Life is too short to spend it in the wrong job. The psychological health
is important as physical one.
