post#2 (Status That Last Forever)

From my point of view, i think that people differ in thinking and reacting according to their own traditions and communities which has a great influence on the way that people think of things. One of these things is status which indeed people think of it differently due to the many factors such as society, environment, surrounding people (family, relatives, and friends). However, in my society, a decent status is simply when the person well educated and wealthy. Yet, not all people think in the same way, others deem that the person who has a superior quality of personality such as virtue and principles is in good status. In fact, this is might be true for some cultures and this is sounds about just right to me. Unfortunately, my parents used to tell me that the money is everything which gives you the authority to have the power and the respect from others. As a matter of fact, most people in my society think in the same way as my parents. But I believe that money is everything and nothing which means that money easy comes and easy goes. However, the virtue and principles cannot be lost that easy which it born with you and remains after you die to pass to the next generation. This shows that I aspire to status that stays forever instead of the status that can be lost with the first collapse.

The chore of my job

I'm currently employed at a private pharmacy in Manhattan as a cashier, which i have been working with them for approximately three years. At first my job seemed to be exciting and enjoyable and that maybe because i was a new New Yorker's immigrant. Or it could be because i was a big fan of New York, which it always was the unreachable dream since i was a little kid. It is hard to tell, whatever the reason is, after a couple months in my work, the sparkles of the new job had gone and the chore routine task had begun. My primary job is to ring up items on my cashier and to help out customers who need help in finding something. This it seems not kind of boring jobs, don't you think so? However, being a part of the job it reveals too many things that others never think of it. For examples, some of my coworkers are very nosy, they always like to interfere in people's business which it ends up causing them troubles. In contrast, my others coworkers are so amicable and they unbiased to anyone in our team. Overall, everything it seems bearable except some of my coworkers who never want to give up their bad habits. I'm pretty sure that if the pharmacy's head fired those annoying coworkers and hire new workers the job's atmosphere will be much better.
