The importance of a strong personal statement cannot be overemphasized. As has been seen by admissions counselors, essay coaches, and others concerned with student applications, the personal statement is the applicant’s chance to substantially add to the information provided by his or her test scores, transcript, resume, and letters of recommendation. The personal statement provides an opportunity for you, the applicant, to show the admissions committee why you’d be a good fit for their institution. Your grades and letters of recommendation already give the admissions committee an idea about your work ethic, intellectual capabilities, academic potential, and ability to work with others. While your resume lists your achievements, awards, and other experiences, with the personal statement, you are given the chance to go beyond that information.

Ivy Research has seen that an effective personal statement is one that gives the admissions committee a comprehensive look at the applicant without actually needing to meet him or her. A good personal statement relates what qualities you have that make you capable of significantly contributing to the diversity of an institution, as well as how you can further enrich the academic (and perhaps social) life of the same institution.

Simple, right? Just state your good points, gloss over your bad ones, and you have a personal statement that shows what a potentially great student you are. Unfortunately, as Ivy Research has seen time and again, it can’t be that easy. Some applicants do sabotage their personal statements, and here are some of the most common ways to do so:

Failure to proofread

This one goes right on top of the list, because it’s the easiest pitfall to avoid, yet people keep on doing it anyway. By submitting a personal statement that contains grammatical, spelling, and typographical errors, you’ve given the admissions committee plenty of reasons to reject you. Such personal statements show that you’re unable to express yourself clearly, as well as sloppy, careless, and inattentive to important details–all negative qualities that no institution wants to see in its students. Worst of all, failure to proofread tells the admissions committee that you don’t take their institution seriously. So why should they do the same for you?

Failure to stay focused

Ivy Research has seen many students with the misconception that to write a personal statement, all they have to do is list their achievements, come up with some clever stories or personal anecdotes, and they’re done. This means that academic institutions receive personal statements that are all over the place. Remember that your personal statement is not your resume in paragraph form, nor is it a condensed autobiography. A student who provides irrelevant and redundant information when specifically asked for something else is not the student universities are looking for. A student who can organize their thoughts clearly to make a point, on the other hand, makes a good candidate. Pick a theme for your personal statement–what is the main point you want the admissions committee to walk away with after they’ve read your statement? Once you’ve done that, make sure everything in your statement supports that theme, and wrap it up with a strong conclusion.

So what’s the lesson to be learned? Pay attention to how your statement is written and organized, and the chances of giving a favorable impression increase significantly.

Are you in the habit of changing your phone too often? Do you feel tempted to lay your hands on the latest mobile phones as soon as they hit the market? In such a scenario, what do you do to your old cell phone? Chances are that you discard them and leave it in some nook or corner of your closet unattended and unused. However, you can put them to good use and also make some money in the process. If you are clueless about the whole thing, you need to access the net and you will discover how recycling used cell phoneshave become a popular trend and more and more people are opening up to the wonderful prospects that come with it. There is no point in lagging behind and letting go of such a wonderful opportunity of making some quick bucks. If you conduct a thorough search of your cupboards, drawers and closets, you are likely to find a number of such phones that you have traded for more upgraded ones and never cared to look back. The time has come to spare a thought for them as you are the one who will benefit from the whole deal.

If you sell used cell phone, you can also do your bit for the environment. You must be aware of the harm that is caused by the chemicals that come out from discarded mobile phones in landfills. They play an instrumental role in contaminating water systems as well as the surrounding soil. This, in turn, affects our body and gives rise to a number of health hazards. Again, whenever novel materials are manufactured or mined, it causes significant harm to the environment. However, recycling phones can bring about a noticeable change in this process. This is because the procedure of recycling involves the breaking down of the used cell phones into its fundamental components which are then used to manufacture a new unit. This implies that there is no requirement of the participation or contribution of new materials. You can easily contribute to this conservation of resources by taking out all those cell phones that have been lying dormant in your house for so many months and recycling them for a good cause.

You can also indulge in some charity if you sell used cell phone. It might be the case that you are not interested in making money out of selling old phones. However, there must be a charity that is close to your heart. For many reasons, it is not always possible to donate a significant amount to a preferred charity of yours even if you have the desire and inclination. However, you can easily do so with the help of mobile recycling. If you decide on contributing to a specific charity, the proceeds from your cell phone will be directly sent to them and your wish will be fulfilled. So what are you waiting for? Get hold of as many used phones as you can and explore this lucrative option of recycling them for a price.

Every Month I travel to the city to attend my writers meetup Group. I’m always excited about the trip because I get to mastermind with other wirters and focus on my craft. I’m currently working on my first novel and I like to present different chapters of my manuscript pass the scrutinizing eyes of other writers. Every Month I travel there and I can usualy tell in a short time who is serious about writing and who shows up to dirnk cappucino and talk about T.S. Elliot.

I think most writers will never experience the true success they could actually gain because they simply have the wrong mind set. I think too many aspiring authors approach writing from a one dimensional aspect and get too tied up in the creativity, character analysis and art itimitating life. Writers need to approach there work with more of a entrepreneurial mind set. Publishing houses and writers have to compete against television, video Games, Movies, M3 players all the mind numbing instanst gratification gizmos that are making reading a book less attractive.

The writer that is thinking more like a business owner will already be thinking of what he or she has to do to be competitive. Create goals and deadlines for yourself and hold yourself accountable to those deadlines. What is going to seperate you from the competition? How is your writing going to be different from everyone elses. What is your projected target market? How much time are you dedicating to your self development. The entire world is is adapting to a global economy how will you adapt.

Dream of the Red Chamber is a novel with great cultural richness. It depicts a multi-layered yet inter-fusing tragic human world through the eye of a talentless stone the Goddess used for sky mending. Jia Baoyu, the incarnation of the stone, witnessed the tragic lives of “the Twelve Beauties of Nanjing”, experienced the great changes from flourishing to decline of a noble family and thus gained unique perception of life and the mortal world. Revolving around Jia Baoyu and focusing on the tragic love between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai against the backdrop of the Great View Garden, the novel portrays a tragedy in which love, youth and life are ruined as well as exposes and profoundly reflects the root of the tragedy – the feudal system and culture.

Lin Daiyu is one of the twelve beauties of Jinling, and the only daughter of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min. After her parents passed away, her grandma picked her up to stay with her in pity of her loneliness. Although she was an orphan who had to live under others’ roof, she was proud and aloof, innocent and upright, a rebel against feudalism as Jia Baoyu. She never persuaded him to pursue the path of becoming a government official. She despised power and dignitaries and shared the same ideal and interest with Jia Baoyu. However, their true love was relentlessly smothered by her grandma and Wang Xifeng. Therefore, Lin Daiyu ended up with a tragic death.

Jia Baoyu is the key character in A Dream of the Red Mansions. Born in a rich family, smart and debonair, he was the inheritor of the Jia family. But his personality led him to betray his family.

Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu became increasingly fond of each other, their innocent love was suffocated by the feudal concept of “Jinyu Liangyuan (match made in heaven)”, which resulted in an entrenched depression from deep inside. Suffering from long-term lovesickness, coupled with the heavy shock from the fact that Baoyu had to marry someone else, Lin lost her life at a very young age. Later Jia became a monk in a faraway place, mourning of his beloved one.

Let me start by maxim to facilitate some bad reviews you’ve seen on the order of X-Men Origins: Wolverine must be completely without being seen. Anyone who likes comic books, comic manuscript movies, raid movies and blockbuster popcorn flicks in common will benefit from this motion picture. My expectations were not to facilitate excessive in lieu of this motion picture with all the harmful press surrounding it, but I’m blissful to bang to facilitate I really enjoyed it. Hip reality I liked it better than some of the other X-Men movies and I’m a large fan of persons.

First up the acting was very soon fine. Hugh Jackman as continually drama the character he was born to take part in with extreme skill and efficiency. Whether it is a tender split second in lieu of Wolverine or individual featuring his make berserker rage, Jackman draws us in and makes us believe I beg your pardon? We are watching. Hip reality, some instance he is on screen (most of the movie); you can’t take your eyes rotten of him. Liev Schreiber gives a brilliant performance as conqueror (Sabretooth), Wolverine’s twisted, psychotic brother. Schreiber has such an evil glint in his eyes to facilitate his evil as good as drips rotten the screen. He might be individual of the most excellent on screen villains of all instance. A special shout absent in lieu of Ryan Reynolds as sword wielding mutant, Deadpool. His role is fill in, but he makes the most excellent of it and leaves you defective in lieu of more. Hopefully it will remuneration rotten in lieu of Reynolds and audiences all over the place and Deadpool will understand his own motion picture very soon as the rumors bear suggested. The remnants of the cast with Danny Huston, Dominic Monaghan and Taylor Kitsch, to label but a only some, give out fine performances as well.

Director Gavin Hood displays extreme technical skill and moreover does a extreme job of keeping the motion picture touching along on a quick pace. Being far as the raid sequences go off, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is on its game, large instance. There are quite a only some major raid sequences and fights and in a word they are all AWESOME. Each fight is choreographed brilliantly and they are a adventure to behold. It almost felt like at hand was more raid in this motion picture than the intact X-Men trilogy combined; the film is quite the visceral rush. Being far as the storyline goes, Wolverine was very soon reasonable, trouble-free to go along with while moreover being very faithful to the source material and it built-in quite a only some twists as well. Hip reality a portly chunk of the lettering back story is told in the principal only some minutes of the motion picture in an tremendous montage to facilitate sets the stage in lieu of the growing feud connecting the two brothers. The motion picture really succeeds on all levels. Is it the most excellent comic manuscript film I’ve eternally seen? No, but it is quite the indulgence nonetheless.

I don’t really bear some theories as to why the motion picture is being panned by so many critics other than to facilitate perhaps they were looking in lieu of Wolverine to reinvent the circle or break the mold of super hero flicks of the history like The Dark Knight and Watchmen did. It doesn’t. Seriously though, does all spanking super hero motion picture bear to break spanking ground? That seems to me like an ridiculous standard to facilitate will leave you disappointed 90% of the instance. To sum it up, X-Men Origins: Wolverine is as fun and exciting as Iron work or some of the Spider-Man or X-Men films; and to facilitate in my estimation is very esteemed company indeed.
