Journal # 17 Anticipating your parents' objections

Dear mom and dad,
Hi, this is your lovely daughter, Yeowool. How have you been? It's been a long time to write a letter to you. I'm writing to you because I have something to tell you. I appreciate that you allowed me to buy a car, but I think that I need to buy a new car. I bought a used car, but it has now problems. The reason why I chose this car is that the price was so reasonable that I could save money more than I thought, and it had low mileage comparing with the year. As you know, however, it was made in 2000, so I found many things to be fixed in my car. The wheels need to be changed into new ones, and the engine's condition was not good as well. Not only are there these problems, but many other problem will also happen because it is like grand grand father. Moreover, I actually didn't like the model which is old fashioned. I understand your concern about money to buy a new car, but in the long run, I'd be better buying a new one. Please accept my suggestion and let me get a new car. Thank you.

Journal #16 Confucius Quote

"Find a job that you love doing and you will never have to work a day in your life." - Confucius

What a great quote! I love this quote. I already knew that I should find a job that I love doing, but I forgot it because of social problem. I have dreamed of my future since I was very young. People usually have their dreams, but not many people find jobs that they really want. They find jobs because they need to make money. Money is important, but I hope that I will never give up my dream because of money. I have been thinking about my ideal job, but it's still subtle. I wonder what kind of job makes me enjoy working in. I should find it as soon as possible and make a plan for it. Everyone does work, so I will work, but I hope not to feel like I'm working. I keep in mind I will never have to work a day in my life!
