【精彩范文1】：
In the past two years of my college life, I have never ceased to think what kind of work I shall take up upon graduation. Although my ideas are not consistent, I have now decided to start a business of my own as my lifelong career.
A variety of factors have led me to make this decision over other more lucrative ones. To begin with, running my own business means freedom and independence. As a person having my own business, I am free to use my own ideas and make my own decisions, a privilege not everyone can have, even those with highly-paid positions. More importantly, I like starting my own business in that it offers a certain peace of mind. No more rushing to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome.
Nothing, not even a big salary, can equal for the satisfaction of being your own boss and a gentle peace of life.
【参考译文】
在过去两年的大学生活中，我一刻也没有停止过思考：我大学毕业以后要干什么工作。尽管我的想法很多，但我现在已决定，我将开创我自己的事业。
有很多理由使我做出这个选择而不是其他较赚钱职业的决定。首先，创业意味着自由和独立。当一名创业人员我可以有自己想法的自由，有自己作决定的自由，而这个特权不是每一个人，甚至拿高薪的人都能拥有的。其次，我喜欢创业，是因为这个工作给我一份安宁。我无须每天早上去赶汽车，无须为如何讨好老板，如何不落在人家后面而焦虑不安，无须担心自己的工作收入，虽然不那么丰厚，但却十分稳定。
没有什么东西，甚至高工资，可以抵得上自己做主人的乐趣和平静安宁的生活。
