I don't think my essay really answered the question at all lol. I kind of umm went on the tangent while writing this, but please tell me what you think about this essay.
I Cheated on My Wife (Number).
Numbers, what can you do for me? You can neither make me food when I'm hungry nor keep me warm when I'm cold, but I still fell in love with you. Oh, number I have a confession to make. I cheated on you!
Ten years into our relation, I was led astray by the beautiful language into believing that you can't do anything for me. "Math is useless." "Give up on math, you can't do anything with math except be a mathematician or a school teacher." "Your dream is to become a businessman, you need language (English)." Voices venture in and out of my head numerous times throughout the course of my high school career, hence I fell in "love" with English. Even though I took all the hardest math classes my school had to offer and some from a community college, you were no longer my interest but merely a necessity, or I thought? Years, I sacrificed you for English, but now I understand it is you that I love, not English. You are a language of your own. English is the necessity, but you are my love. Confucius once said "If you find enjoy what you do, you will never work another day in your life."
I became interest in business initially because I thought business can lead me into all the candies I can get! Well, you know, make money, buy candies... how naïve was that? Though the thoughts have changed while growing up , but it was not until recently I truly understand what business is about. Reading through the shelves of business books in Barnes and Nobel, I realized how hard it is to be a successful businessman. Not only does it require integrity, leadership, but also friendship. No matter what business one is going to take, the key is people. Building a company is easy, but managing it is not. Business is understanding, trusting, and lasting. Business is math in a pretty dress, it's you. I love you.
