Chain Writing-started by Youngwook+Story within a story

     I am now in GLPS(Global Leadership Program for Students) camp as a TA for summer. I am in the 1st grade in college and I worked in the camp to earn money for my flight fee.     
     Today was a hard they for me, since I had to check and evaluate 30 plus essays. After doing all the works, I came back to my room and started writing my Cyworld diary. Since I wanted to feel better, I opened my drawer and took out a bottle of beer. After drinking some of the beer, I felt too much depressed and suddenly came up with an idea about how can I achieve success. I started writing..........


      Success is something we achieve. Some people claim that the only thing we need for success is luck. It's true that we need some luck to complete our success, but we need more than that.The most important thing we need is passion. With passion, we can keep working when we face hardships. History gives examples of those who had great amounts of passion, for instance, Napoleon, in his urge and passion to conquer the cast land of Russia, ventured on an expedition which eventually led him to his death, In the Chinese tales of the Three nations, numerous characters venture on actions led by their passions and end up in mortal peril.


     Then, is passion really a good thing? Well, similar to many things in the world, it depends. passion can be a good fuel when people want to achieve something. However, if the person is so enthusiastic that the passion blinds one's rational thinking, then that person will act ruthlessly solely based on his or her instinct. In that case, something terrible can happen. The perfect example can be German's in World War II. At that time, Germans had excessive passion to make a powerful country, so they chased Hitler as their leader, and that brought a terrible result.


     However, excessive passion of Germans sometimes led positive results. Their passion for beer made German beer as one of the finest beer in the world. But I have never had a chance to drink German beer. Have you? You should one day.


     When it comes to a topic of beer, I always think of two Companies: Heineken and Asahi. Those two firms are two major beer-making companies that are really famous worldwide, and they also are my favorite companies. I once got a chance to taste beer of those 2 companies. At first, I thought they were simply the same. However, there was a slight difference in two beers. I preferred Heineken to Asahi for its freshness.


     Anyway, the most important thing you should know is that success can only be achieved when your luck and passion are combined. Though excessive passion and enthusiasm can lead to side effects, still passion is needed to achieve success. There is an old saying "Luck only comes to those who try their best." Devote yourself into something that you desire. Put your all efforts into what you want. That's how you can make a success.
