What major to choose will not only impact your future but also affect your motivation to learn. If you love what you’re studying, you’re more likely to fully engage in your classes.

His patriotic deeds and deep affection for the motherland have made him a role model for everyone, especially for the young, who may be experiencing “odyssey years” – a life stage of confusion and self-discovery.

Today’s society is full of tempting commercial advertisements to persuade us to buy various products. Their real motive is to create a powerful desire for something we may or may not actually need. Meanwhile, there is another message that advises us to save money for the future. So it can be confusing and difficult for us to make sensible decisions on whether to save or spend. The harmful consequences of excessively spending and borrowing money are obvious, especially for college students.

Repeated messages all around us say, “This choice is good. But wait! This next choice might be even better!” However, the interesting thing is that when there are too many choices and too much wealth in life, people usually feel less happy and more depressed. This kind of situation is not uncommon and can be noticed everywhere, and in the end nothing seems “good enough”.

When we look at famous people, especially movie stars, their glamorous lives seem far removed from anything average people experience in their lives.

Another common thread many of them share is using their celebrity and fame to focus attention and resources on the world's neediest citizens and populations. Indeed, they often exhibit, in differing ways, personality traits that deserve our admiration and applause. People may experience a lot the whole of their lives with diverse expectations for the future across cultures around the world. While the expectations of bright future is universal, we all have life experiences that influence how we perceive the world and develop our own views of it.

However, when the economic cycle shifts downward, employment declines and people suffer as their standard of living is severely affected, and their anxiety and uncertainty about the future grow. To face the ups and downs of life, it is important for us to consider, carefully and seriously, various economic issues that are happening every day. As college students, we may begin by acquiring some knowledge about the basic phenomena of economies and reflecting on the ways people make decisions about money. Indeed, each person should learn to understand the relationship between economy and society.
