Being a celebrity: a dream or a nightmare ?

Almost everything has two sides - positive and negative, being a celebrity is not an exception. 

Thousands of people dream to reach fame and become superstars, but is it simple: to be a celebrity ?

Firstly, let us look at the positive side of being a celebrity. The main advantages is that celebrities have a lot of money. They can invest in themselves , for example, plastic surgery, expensive kinds  of sports, travel. Moreover, superstars can be engaged in different activities, such as Angelina Jolie engaged in charity, Victoria Beckham is famous in the world not only as a singer and actress, but also as a fashion designer with an excellent taste and fashion collections. In addition, if you are a superstar, the fans around the world are inspired by your energy and appearance.

On the other hand, there are some important disadvantages, which can disturb your life. although , constant attention is pleasant, sometimes it can seriously impair your mental balance ( Recall the behavior of Britney Spears after her divorce). Furthermore, you have to be prepared for the fact that the paparazzi will follow you to make "hot" news, which will bring them profits. There are a lot of cases in history when superstars were injured by their fanatics!

To sum up, being a celebrity is cool and interesting,but only if you are strong- willed and you love a huge amount of attention. I am a lover of a peaceful and quiet life, so being a celebrity is a nightmare for me...

Being a celebrity: dream or a nightmare?

I know that today a lot of people dream about the popularity. They want to be celebrity and ready to achieve their dream at any cost. And the ways that they use cannot always follow the moral values. Now I'll try to express you my opinion.

On the one hand, they are motivated, because this people try to achieve their aim. Another advantage is a wish to leave a trace in history and to make their families be proud of them.

But on another hand they can lose their humanity, because they strive towards their goal no matter what can happen. Of course, I can't say this about all people, because they are all different. But some of them forget about charity, kindness and etc. Furthermore, they forget to live. They can't see what is happening around because they pursuit glory. As for me, I'm really afraid of this situation, because I think that I can lose all the qualities that I have.

To sum up, I can only say, this is a very desputive question, and if you want to stay celebrity, I hope you won't lose humanity.

There is no doubt that nowadays more and more people are tempted by the idea of working abroad.

Obviously, this decision has a lot of advantages. The main advantage is that you can earn more many, so this kind of job is more prestigious. Another advantage is the ability to know the different mentality and touch to the foreign culture. Maybe you can improve your skills( Languages, for example).

On the other hand, there are some  important disadvantages. For example, it can cause a lot of problem connecting with communication with your friends and family. In addition,  you can get nervous with your new job, new colleagues. So it can be really difficult.

Nowadays many people choose life without procreation. They are called "childfree". In many countries childfree struggle with their relatives, government and society for their right to live the life they want.

Being childfree has some important advantages. The main advantage is that childfree do not depend on children. It means they do not spend their time fostering kids who constantly need attention and care. Instead of this childfree can do any activity they want. For example, they can take up a new hobby which needs concentration and much time. It can be anything from sewing to basejumping. Another advantage is that childfree men and women feel themselves more healthy and confident because they do not worry about kids’ health or safety.

On the other hand, there are some disadvantages. The main disadvantage is that childfree are not going to have a help when they get old. Because people get this help from their children. Another disadvantage is that many people believe that those who do not have kids are more selfish and irresponsible.

To sum up, being childfree has both advantages and disadvantages. Each person has a right to choose.

GOING TO WORK ABROAD: AN EXCITING OPORTUNITY OR A SCARY ONE?

Every year more and more people choose to work abroad. They see some advantages in working outside the borders of their Mother country. Let's find out some reasons for this phenomenon.

Here, in Russia, it's hard enough to find the opportunity to work abroad. If someone find's out that you are working abroad, this person is likely to wonder. Also somebody can be jealous of you, because it's prestigious to work abroad, and there are many people who want to work abroad. Furthermore, it's an economic crisis in Russia, and it's important to have some sources of money. And if you are working abroad you are likely to have more stable financial condition, because of currency rate. In addition, working abroad is a great opportunity to know more good people, to learn more about different countries and, of course, to learn more languages.

But on the other hand, it is too dangerous, because of the crime level, national conflicts and also because of lack of information about another country.

Of course, everybody has his own opinion, but I think that in spite of all disadvantages, It's good phenomenon, that more and more people leave their country to work abroad.

Some people think that young people think about making money and career.

There are two opposite points of view on the attitude of young people towards money and career. Some people are sure that these two things are the main concern of modern youth. Others, on the contrary, argue that the interests of modern teenagers are various.

As for me, I consider that young people, like all people in the world are different, and their interests, ambitions and attitude towards money and career differ too.
Some of my friends are going to study finance, medicine, economics or law, because they believe, that those professions will help them to find a good job, which can helps them to earn a lot of money.
Others hope that they will find an interesting job, even it wont be well paid. For example, you can be a restorer. It's great work, which relates to history, art and sculpture. But it is really low-paid in Russia.

But many people suppose that modern teenagers have no other interests, besides making money and career. They see young people, trying to earn or get as much money as possible. Also, there are a lot of talks around, how and where to get money. But there are many people, which want to live better. So I understand their desire. Because when you are young, you want everything in the world.
Of course, money plays a great role in our life, but the real interests for the majority such as painting, sport, sciences, and many others are much more important. I know it from my example, and from the example of my friends.

To sum up, I would like to say, that very few people are ready to work hard long hours, if a job is not interesting, you will not be able to do it. And most young people understand it very well, and do many different things, and have many different interests.
