Choosing a career is not an easy matter. I am leaving school in two years and I haven't yet decided which profession to choose.There are a lot of interesting things in the world, so it is difficult to make the right choice.In childhood I wanted to be a pilot, then I wanted to become a fireman. But now I have to think about my future career seriously. Some people are good at Maths, Physics and Biology, others enjoy History, Literature and Geography.In my opinion I am good at foreign languages. My favorite language is English. I like it very much and I want to be either a teacher of English or an interpreter. I like watching films in English, reading books in the original and listening to music in English.I think that young people should ask themselves: What am I interested in? What do I want to become? When they find the answer, they will have the goal to achieve. And then they should do everything to achieve this goal. If you are good at Maths and you want your profession to be connected with this subject, you should start studying it very seriously. The same is with other subjects.My father wants me to follow in his footsteps and become a businessman. But I am not interested in business or economics. I have always been bad at these subjects and I want my profession to be connected with English.My mother says that I should choose my future occupation myself. But I am still not sure what to choose. Of course there are a lot of special books about different professions. In addition, a lot of universities and institutes have open house days, so I can go there and choose a good place for my future studies.However, it is very difficult to enter a university. If you do not have money and if you are not a genius, you will never enter a good university or an institute. I have some friends who were in this situation and they had to choose a career not to their interests and liking.But some young people still do not know which career to choose even after they finish school, so they have to waste time deciding, or go to find a job. For men it is harder because they may be taken to the Army, that's why a lot of them enter any institute or university just not to become soldiers.Sometimes young people choose a career they are interested in, they enter a university and after some time they understand that this occupation is not for them, they get poor marks and have to leave the university.The problem of choosing a career is very widespread among young people and they should think about it seriously before making any decisions.

Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.
Две вещи бесконечны: вселенная и человеческая глупость; и я еще не уверен насчет вселенной.

If anything is worth trying at all, it’s worth trying at least 10 times.
Если что-то вообще стоит пробовать, это стоит попробовать не меньше 10 раз.

The possession of unlimited power will make a despot of almost any man. There is a possible Nero in the gentlest human creature that walks.
Обладая неограниченной властью, практически любой человек становится тираном. Нерон может скрываться даже в добрейшем из живущих человеческих существ.

Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise.
Быть до конца честным с самим собой - непростая задача.

The great Breakthrough in your life comes when you realize it that you can learn anything you need to learn to accomplish any goal that you set for yourself.This means there are no limits on what you can be, have or do.
Величайший прорыв в жизни наступает тогда, когда понимаешь, что выучить все, что нужно для достижения любой поставленной цели. Это значит - нет предела тому, кем ты можешь стать, что иметь и делать.
Brian Tracy

Every English poet should master the rules of grammar before he attempts to bend or break them.
Каждый английский поэт должен овладеть правилами грамматики, прежде чем пытаться изменить или нарушить их.
Robert Graves
Роберт Грейвс
To limit the press is to insult a nation; to prohibit reading of certain books is to declare the inhabitants to be either fools or slaves.
Ограничить прессу - значит оскорбить нацию; запретить чтение определенных книг - значит провозгласить народ либо дураками, либо рабами.
Claude-Adrian Helvetius
Клод Адриан Гельвеций

Half of the American people have never read a newspaper. Half never voted for President. One hopes it is the same half.
Половина американцев никогда не читали газет. Половина не участвовали в выборах президента. Остается только надеяться, что эта одна и та же половина.
