Help me with my essay quesion answers for Master Degree Program!
What are your three most substantial accomplishments and why do you think they are?
I would say the most important professional achievement in my life so far is my completion of the undergraduate thesis. My uncle as a successful entrepreneur met great obstacles in his attempt to expand his private company to another level due to the under-developed Chinese capital market. That is the main reason I chose my undergraduate final thesis topic in corporate governance issues. My final thesis’s research topic is titled "Corporate Governance from Institutional Investors' Perspective" and during the whole research process I have expanded my knowledge and insight in corporate governance issues and finance.Beyond that, it not only taught me critical research methods and problem-solving approaches needed in conducting a research but also honed my interpretative and analytical skill in data review. Above all those, it made me realize that the degree of discipline and persistence required in completing a research work is incomparable to any other academic works such as assignments, or essays. I believe this experience has put my academic maturity to another level and the character traits fostered in the process will benefit me for a lifetime.
Another accomplishment would be my success in pursuing my girlfriend. I fell badly in love when I first met her in my university. The fact that she is beautiful, charming, warm-hearted and has a rich family has been scaring her admirers away or totally shattering their confidence even to try a decent conversation with her. I have always been in the nerdy group during my student life and like most other ugly and nerdy guys I have got a charming personality and some confidence to make up for not looking good. After some struggling between my good and evil sides, I decided to give it a shot. My strategy was to send my best friend as a social butterfly which he is to build up friendships with her and her girlfriends. This will create opportunities for us to get to know each other in a nature way at least from her perspective. Directly asking for a date from a guy like me would most likely end up being turned down and probably never get a second chance. In a few weeks time, a lot of extracurricular group activities were taking place and that was when my personality started to shine. The more I got to know her the more I felt connected to her, and there always comes to a right moment when you have to confess otherwise you most likely will end up good friends. I did that, with all the confidence and courage I could manage at that moment and I felt great when she told me she felt the same way about me. In sum, I believe my effective strategy and my confidence have won me love and this inspires me in many other ways in life. You need plan and strategy before starting to do something and you will most likely succeed in implementing the plan with great confidence.
