When I was young, I always wished to be an engineer, a doctor, an astrologer, a sport professional, a film start and a photographer. In fact the list never ended. There was something new that I desired to be each day. On the other hand, my father always asked me to focus on studies and wanted me to be doctor in future, just like him. Perhaps, there are two types of people in this world. One who wants to explore every color of life and others who believed on long and entrenched economic and social status quo.

To begin, there are many people who argue that pursuing same thing and avoiding changes are the best way of succeeding. They believe that it is always wise to adapt things which are already proved to have a beneficial influence. They regarded exploring as wastage of time. They are satisfied and happy to be confined to set of principles and continue to remain in a comfort zone. Moreover, abstinence from change would result in obtaining expertise. After all, a society is benefitted by experts not by jack of all trades.

Nevertheless, the importance of being dynamic and open to changes cannot be disregarded. In modern era, the world is driven by technological advancements and world is seen as a global village. Our world is changing continuously and it is inevitable to accept changes and mold ourselves to fit in dynamic society to avoid friction. Many of our traditional believes and cultures do not match now and must be eradicated. To exemplify, women were considered to be inferior and only suitable for household work. But women have proved their intellectual abilities and perseverance qualities to entire world. They now make a major proportion of world's work force contributing significantly to global economy. To witness such drastic change and after scrutinizing the enormous wholesomeness of this change it is accepted that changes are pivotal for every individual and society.

In a nutshell, I assert that a consistent and static profession whereas open and dynamic mind is ideally desirable. Our society need an expert and open minded professionals to prosper and excel socially, culturally and economically.

I had my IELTS test today. I think listening and reading sections were just a piece of cake. Writing was a bit challenging. The topic was regarding the influence of family or society on young people and which one do you think has more influence in making a child polite and respectful.

I believe i wrote almost 2.5 pages. I reckon around 350 words or so... The style of writing was more or less same as this one. I started with how i use to be in young age and how i hated intrusion from outside.. then eventually wrote that i believe both have equal influence.. In 2nd para I presented 1 idea and 1 example to emphasize on role of family and in 3rd para i discussed 1 idea and 1 example on role of society. examples i presented as if i had experienced it myself :)

Only thing i regret is I couldn't make much time to review and correct spelling or grammar error that i must have made.. i hope there weren't many of those..

I hope I would achieve my target band of 7..

I would like to take an opportunity to thank you again for all your guidance and support. Thanks a lot!!!
