work ethic, be well-prepared for the future, and never stop dreaming and pursuing
my aspirations.
In essence, it reflects my belief in the value of ambition, hard work, and a mindset
that never settles for mediocrity but strives for success, regardless of what others are
doing.
4. Provide practical examples that illustrate your implementation of the
quote in your life
I discovered this quote when I was in 7th grade during a time when I was under a
lot of academic pressure. I was getting depressed because I spent most of my time
studying and did not have any time for relaxation. Eventually, I lost motivation and
energy for life. I gave up on studying and spent my days idly, watching TV and using
my phone. As a result, my academic performance rapidly declined. After two months
of feeling down, I stumbled upon William Arthur Ward's quote: “Study while others
are sleeping; work while others are loafing; prepare while others are playing; and
dream while others are wishing.” It did not immediately strike me as particularly
special, but for some reason, after reading it 4-5 times, I suddenly realized
something profound. I felt like I had been “wrong” for choosing such a lax approach
to life instead of changing my study habits and trying harder.
Looking into the future, I harbor numerous passions and dreams of my own.
Consequently, mastering knowledge remains my top priority. Although my academic
focus is on Business Administration, I aspire to become a manager in the hospitality
industry. From my perspective, this field holds great promise for the future.
Therefore, I have set specific goals to pursue my dream.
2. MISSION statement (How will you get where you want to be?)

BUSINESS COMMUNICATION PROF. PETER J JUNG
To achieve the OISP scholarship, JLPT N5 certification, clearing all course debts,
and maintaining a GPA above 7.5, I need to exert a substantial effort. This entails
attentive class participation, diligent studying, and completing assignments to the
best of my ability. I must allocate significant time to my studies, limiting leisure
activities. Following rigorous academic dedication, it's essential to dedicate time to
review previously acquired knowledge to establish a sustainable mindset and
reinforce my understanding. Beyond academics, I should also explore practical
applications of the marketing knowledge I've gained by undertaking advertising
projects for my store.
