A new trend in business

Nowadays, many young people opt to start their own business and do
not wait to get employed in a governmental sector. However, having your
own business is not always a good thing and it has pros and cons. In my
essay, I will shed the light on the advantages and disadvantages of having
a start-up.

Today, young people have become riskier and more willing to try new
things. Due to this, they decide to start their own business rather than
looking for a job in a private or governmental organization. That’s why the
number of entrepreneurs has recently witnessed a remarkable increase
which led to the governments to provide the youth with any needed
logistics and support that make their businesses successful.

Being an entrepreneur and starting your own business has some

advantages. Firstly, it helps you pursue your passion and push boundaries
to make your dreams come true without the limits of the traditional
employment. Entrepreneurs can reach higher horizons with their
businesses. In addition, entrepreneurs enjoy the profit they gain and the
potential wealth they make from their successful businesses. Above all,
they are their own bosses who make their own decisions.

On the other hand, starting your own business could be a terrible

choice. It is always stressful and puts you under constant pressure. As it
is a risky task, the way to success is not always a paved one and there
are a lot of challenges that entrepreneurs have to overcome to be
successful. Moreover, entrepreneurship could negatively affect the
entrepreneurs’ social life. They would have to spend much time away from
their family and do not have the enough time to socialize with them.

To sum up, while entrepreneurship can be rewarding and a good way to

work independently without being controlled with external constrains, it
is a risky decision that needs careful thinking about the stress and the
social sacrifice that you will experience when you decide to start it.

The need for a good citizen

Being a good citizen is crucial for the success of any community as it

represents the essential values for the society to progress. Good citizenship
is all about being honest, having integrity, and being responsible. In my
essay, I will shed the light on what makes a good citizen and how this can
positively affect any society.

A good citizen is someone who is responsible, engaged, and committed

to the well-being of their community and society as a whole. They are
the building block of the success and prosperity of any nation. They live in
peace and harmony with the people around them.

There are many characteristics that a good citizen should have .These
qualities not only shape how individuals behave, but they also greatly
contribute to the overall well-being of society. One of the main features
of being a good citizen is actively participating in civic duties. This
includes voting in different elections , paying taxes, and obeying laws. By
fulfilling these obligations, citizens ensure that everyone has a voice and
equal opportunities for personal development.
 Furthermore, good citizens actively support community initiatives that
aim to improve and advance the community. This can be done through the
volunteer work that supports local businesses or participating in
neighborhood projects. These contributions are incredibly valuable as they
help strengthen social bonds and create a sense of belonging among the
community members. Their goal is to bring about positive change in their
communities. Moreover, good citizens prioritize environmental
sustainability. They engage in practices like recycling, reducing waste, and
supporting eco-friendly initiatives. By doing so, they ensure the
preservation of natural resources and promote a healthier and brighter
future for generations to come.

To sum up, good citizenship is essential for the prosperity of any

community. When individuals value the principles of honesty,
responsibility, and civic engagement, they contribute to the creation of
an ideal community to live in.

Stress

It’s a matter of fact that stress has been one of the most common features of
everyone’s lifestyle nowadays. Today, it is easy to find something that makes
you feel anxious, overwhelmed, fearful, frustrated or even angry. This essay will
highlight the causes, effects, and possible solutions to avoid the bad impacts of
stress.

There are several things that cause stress and anxiety. On top of them is the
continuous worry and overthinking about work. Currently, many people are
overwhelmed with lots of workload and deadlines which they mostly fail to
meet, and this consequently leads to serious consequences. Being worried about
family and how to meet their essential needs could result in a lot of stress and
anxiety. In addition, the big and strong changes that anyone might go through
could be an important factor for being stressed and anxious such as the loss of
one of your friends or a family member.

Suffering from chronic stress and anxiety increases the risk of many physical,
mental , and social health problems. Recent medical research states that people
who are leading a stressful lifestyle are likely exposed to serious health issues
such as digestive issues, headaches, muscle tension and pain, heart attacks,
and high blood pressure. Socially, stress could lead a person to be isolated from
the people around them and increase the risk of some mental problems such as
depression and frustration.

However, there are many ways people can do to avoid being stressed or anxious.
People who suffer from high levels of stress need to switch off for some time
and stay away from any source of stress. They might take a break and go for a
picnic with their family. Building good relationships is also another way to
control stress. Search for people who make you always happy and feel relaxed.
Doing exercise can help you get off any negative energy or stress and get more
positive energy instead.

In conclusion, stress is a very serious problem that has been come to the
surface with the tremendous changes in people’s lifestyles and it causes a lot of
health issues, however it can be avoided by getting away from stressful things
and caring more about yourself.

What makes us happy?

In fact, happiness is relatively different from one person to another. What

makes someone happy might not please someone else. This essay will shed
the light on what makes people happy and how the concept of happiness has
changed over time.

There are several things that can make anyone happy. On top of them is
gaining a lot of money. Money is the magic word that helps people live a
comfortable and luxurious life. In addition, building good relationships with
the people around you make you feel so happy as you get some people caring
about you. Moreover, setting goals and managing to achieve them can also
bring ultimate happiness to certain people.

The concept of happiness has greatly changed over time. In the past, people
found happiness in working hard to earn some money that met their families’
basic needs and consequently be able to live a happy family life. Nevertheless,
nowadays, life has become more complicated, and people have started to find
happiness in different things such as luxurious cars and houses. They also
became more obsessed with travel and being a celebrity on the social media.
 Being happy can also be different from culture to another. Some cultures
see happiness lies in the religious and spiritual aspects and staying away
from all the temporary pleasures of life, whereas other cultures are more
materialistic and find happiness in living luxurious lives.

To sum up, happiness is different from one person to another and from one
culture to another as well. Some get happy when they enjoy spiritual lives
while the others need to get all what they need to be happy.
