Now imagine the situation. You live in an extended family and you like
it. But your friend doesn’t enjoy living with his family and wants to leave his
home. Try to persuade him not to do it. Say that everything is not so bad as he
might think. Remember that When you look at your life, the greatest happiness
is family happiness. You don't choose
your family. They are God's gift to you,
as you are to them.

The Person Who Inspires Me
By
Ann
Successful people
in every field have certain characteristics in common. It is worth our time to
analyze the characteristics of a person who is now where we would like to be in
future. Some teens turn to pop singers or actors for inspiration but many find
inspiration much closer to home. I'm one of them. My mum is my role model, a
person who has made a major impact on my life.
My mum is a tall
beautiful fair-haired woman of about 40. She has the kindest greenish-grey eyes
and a nice smile. She is easy-going and friendly and we always have a great
time together.
My mum works hard
Monday to Friday to ensure that every day basic needs are met for our family.
She is very successful because she's very determined and hard-working. Although
she works really hard for our family, she manages to find time for me. She says
that the family comes first and then a career.
My mum is a truly
remarkable person. We often joke in our family that our house has a star in the
window to signal a safe place for everyone. My Mum always offers a helping hand
to others - a kind word, a joke or a listening ear. Ours is a house where there
is always a big, delicious meal and plenty of extra seats for those who would
stop by and for those who sometimes come and stay. My mum simply loves people
and they love her.
We are very close
and we often share secrets. We work together to solve our problems. My mum is
very supportive, encouraging me to study well. She says I mustn't be so
frustrated about my failures and cry so much. My mum's photo is on my desk and
every time I have to take a serious decision I check as if it were her choice.
It helps me in my walks of life
My mum is my
inspiration because she never puts pressure on me. Her achievements make me
work on my own personality. I try to do my best to be successful in my studies.
I've got many friends and they can always rely on me. .
It is impossible to
become exactly like someone else and there is no need to. We have to remain
ourselves but strive to acquire new traits of character to help us achieve our
goals.
