Grades encourage students to learn?

    

Do grades really constitute a motivation for students to
learn? Although nowadays more and more colleges claim that students should
learn for themselves, for real interest, for an ultimate goal--- they love, so
they learn. The great influence of grades imposed on students can never be
overlooked. As far as I am concerned, grades as well as the incoming outcomes
with grades greatly encourage students to learn. Because having excellent
grades students are therefore able to get enrolled in a top ranking graduate
school, become more popular and gain more respect among peers, and so forth.

    

 

    

In the first place, it is undeniable that the competition
between students are becoming more and more fierce, which lead to a phenomenon
that students take their grades very seriously, so that they have no choice but
to work hard on their studies in order to stand out among their peers. For
instance, the most significant element on evaluation a student's qualification
for law school is their grades on LSAT- Law School Admission Test. The higher
scores you get, the higher-ranked law school is more likely to accept you.
Accordingly, every student who dreams of getting into law school puts all their
heart into the exam preparation, in order to get satisfactory grades. Isn't a
common reflection of how grades motivate students to learn? Not mention how the
SAT exam pushes high school students to work hard to get an offer from a member
of Ivy League.

    

 

    

Besides the determination to go to a top university, or high
ranking graduate school, the respect a student would obtain with wonderful
performance on his or her exam is also an significant element to encourage to
learn. In my country, China, if you are the number one student in your class,
or even the whole grade, you are the most shining star in the eyes of every
teacher and students' parent. Moreover, the most hard-working student is deemed
to have a promising future in their following studies as well as career path.
Those praises, respects, and admiration coming along with good grades constitute
the ultimate motivation to encourage students to learn.

    

 

    

Nevertheless, we should notify that this kind of encourage
somehow can undermine students' efforts on their studies. Focusing too much on
the outcome of grades would blind a student's real interest and their goal for
their further studies.

    

 

    

In conclusion, the grades are indeed one of the most
significant reasons for students to learn, but this is not supposed to be the
solely reason. Upon considering all the above facts and cases, the statement
that students are motivated to learn by grades is true.

People who do not work because they have enough money are
rarely happy.

    

 

    

In a book named "Authentic Happiness", the author
conclude that " a person's feeling of happiness have nothing to do with
their living conditions." In other words, generally speaking people who
are not wealthy and have to work very hard to make a living do not feel less
sense of happiness compared to rich people. In turn, as far as I am concerned,
whether people who do not work because their good financial condition are
satisfied with their lives or not really depend on individual condition.
Therefore, I disagree with this statement. The reasons are as follows:

    

 

    

In the first place, those rich people who do not have a work
may be satisfied with other matters they are dealing with. I believe choosing
to not work is people's basic right in daily life, which is the same as those
people who choose to be an engineer, or go to college for further education.
Can we simply reach a conclusion that most wealthy people must be unhappy only
due to their choice of not working? There are some people around me who are in
the above mentioned condition, wealthy and not having a real job, they,
however, are very happy with their lives. For instance, my neighbor, a
thirty-year old woman, who married a successful businessman 5 years later. This
marriage makes her do not have to go outside for salaries. Instead she chooses
to stay at home, taking care of her new-born baby and husband. "What's the
feeling of being a full-time housewife? Is it boring?" I used to ask out
of curiosity. "Not at all. When you are contributing your youth, your time
or even your rest of life to those people you are fully in love with, all you
can feel is complete happiness."

    

 

    

Besides, except working for a living, those people may spend
their time and efforts in charity. Elithebeth Taylor, a living legend in
Hollywood. After earning enough money, she retired from the entertainment
industry. Soon after she visited Africa, and donated several schools,
hospitals, and in the meantime, she made use this opportunity to encourage more
people to help out African people who are suffering from hunger and illness.
Doesn't it make a person's life more meaningful? Doesn't this activity make a
people happy? Absolutely. There are countless cases just like this reflect a
phenomenon that more and more wealthy people, especially in America, are
devoting themselves to charity business, and they commented that they never
felt much happier than doing this.

    

 

    

Additionally, there are some exceptions showing that people
who quitted their jobs as soon as they received a huge amount of money are
unhappy by addicting to drugs, going gambling, and so forth. But those
relatively few cases could not generally come to say all wealthy people who do
not have to work are unhappy.

    

 

    

All in all, upon considering all the facts that wealthy
people who do not work still feel happy because they are doing something else
they feel themselves meaningful.
