Topic: Why people was born ?
When I was a child I had a question for myself. Why I was born? What do people have their life for? .I have kept question until finishing the graduation, But now, I have the answer for myself. I have had experience for four years in my occupation. At work place, I got and learned a lot of things form here. I learned the defeat and gratification. I learned to encounter and address the problem. I know what I have to do and why I have to do the thing in any day .Everything that I do have the reasons.
Animals spend its life under the instinct .for instance, in every early day, Bird must depart form its nest to find foods for squabs .then, it come back to the nest in the evening. it do reiterative things for its whole life. And human ? Do We should spend our whole life as a bird ? My answer is NO. I think Human is the only one specie on earth that can improve the live to be better than they are. Human can spend their life apart from instinces.
For instance, You was born in poor family and worst circumstance ,if you though you are suitable for this, you have no way to have a good quality of life ,but if you believe you can have a good quality of life ,that is ,this is the goal or target, every thing that you do will be induced follow your target. Thus, you will aways have the answer for the thing that you do because you know it is the activity including eating, sleeping , relaxing and so on that will bring you to the target.
If everybody have the target in their life ,They will know why they was born. Human was born for using their faculty to improve their life and everything surrounding them. You will have awareness your life has the value when you have the goal . that is all my answer,I was born for hiting the target.

Hello Majoyrt. Welcome to the essay thread. I found your essay very interesting. Your vocabulary too is better than most. Your greatest problem is in your structuring of sentences.
If you were to spend some time reading the many essays that have been written and posted here, them I'm sure your next essay would show a very marked improvement.
Please do give my suggestion some thought.

Hello Kitos and Majoyrt! Why people were born? It's really a difficult question. I've tried to answer since I was a child, together with many other questions such as Who are we? Where we came from? What are we doing here? What will happen after life? Who is God? And so on.
Reasons! There're no reasons. We only have explanations. We can explain the process of rain, death, birth. However we don't know why. Why things happen.
I don't think that humans can be better than other species. Are we better than monkeys? Are lions better than cats? Are birds better than fishes. If we manage to invent machines it doesn't mean that we are in top position. For me the quality of life means to live according to your nature. What the other species do.
At this moment I want to find a better job and earn more money in order to buy my house and other stuff. But I don't believe that I was born to follow this fate. What is the real purpose of life? The question remains unanswered.
