  Anyone can become an entrepreneur because everyone needs some skills that an entrepreneur has, in order to be a successful person in their lives. These skills are not only for starting a business, but also for social life. In my opinion, being creative and open-minded is the most important quality for an entrepreneur. Unless he/she is not creative, he/she will not be able to improve, create, design, discover, innovate or develop things. Therefore, he/she cannot start his/her own business; or he/she cannot market his/her new, functional and interesting idea. [1] [2] Secondly, being able to come up with new ideas has a great importance. An entrepreneur should be both creative and good at solving problems. Any of us can encounter problems in our lives. Being a good problem solver makes our lives much easier. Therefore, being able to create or offer new, logical and realistic ideas in a short time is really important. ...

Due to the science fiction movies, cloning is a very popular topic these days. It could be claimed that cloning will be a positive development in science and it is a must for some health problems. Nevertheless, there are lots of disadvantages of having a clone of yourself. One will not be special and unique anymore, people will be aimless if there is another person to do their tasks, and there will not be enough food or water for both the clones and the people. ·          Cloning is not necessary for transplantation. It may be asserted that cloning humans can be beneficial for human health and transplantation. However, cloning only the organ that is needed would be enough. Think of a person who is really sick and needs a transplantation: If that person has a clone who is very healthy, people might think that the “sick person” is not needed anymore. This may lead to a horrible conclusion for the “real” person who needs help. Instead of clonin...

Although the region was quite neglected, the buildings were as merry as the children who were playing in the water. The elderly bridge was smiling to the adults. As he was an old-timer, he seemed very wise like an old man. They were best friends with the sun, and that day they were getting along with each other as it was a shiny and heart-warming day. The marble paving was also very peaceful and self-complacent as he freshened with the cool water of the flume. The graceful flume was alive and vivid. She felt as a new-born baby as the summer has just arrived. The day before, she missed the children that were playing and the people who were sailing on the dated boats. The boats were daydreaming and thought about the past. They were delighted for that glamorous day. The solitary tree felt a little bit desperate as he did not have a lot of friends, although th...
