My Role Model Essay 300 Words

What is a Role Model?

Almost everyone has their own role model. A role model inspires individuals to follow in their footsteps and achieve the same level of success. Besides success, role models also encourage youngsters to emulate their behaviour or even habits.

My Role Model – Elon Musk

Elon Musk is an entrepreneur and an inventor. He is renowned for creating Tesla, the electric car company that revolutionized the current automobile industry. He is also the founder of SpaceX, an aerospace manufacturer and a transportation company. Furthermore, Elon Musk was also one of the founders of Paypal, the popular payments system. Moreover, Elon Musk has an IQ of 155; this means his intelligence is in the same field as of Einstein and Stephen Hawking. In comparison, an average person has an IQ between 85 and 115.

Achievements and Successes of Elon Musk

Elon Musk’s enthusiastic embrace of technology would lead some people to call him the “Real-life Iron Man”. And though it may sound rather far-fetched, it makes sense the more we understand about him. SpaceX is a revolutionary company that has achieved many feats – the most significant one being the Falcon Heavy: the most powerful operational rocket in the world. These feats of engineering were not done by any government, but the efforts of a single individual.

What Inspired Me

These amazing feats inspire me to reach for new heights and keep learning new things constantly. Moreover, Elon Musk did have many failures in his life, but this did not faze him. His unrelenting hard work and charisma have inspired me to follow in his footsteps. After all, being called the “real-life Iron Man” is one of the best titles anybody could ask for.

My Other Role Models

Elon Musk is not my only role model, but he is my biggest. Other role models that inspire me are Bill Gates, Nikola Tesla, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg.

My Role Model Essay 250 Words

Who is a Role Model?

A role model is someone who inspires you to follow in their footsteps. They could inspire you to emulate their success, their behaviour, or even their work. And doing so is beneficial for growth and future opportunities as it inculcates good habits within ourselves. And a role model can be anyone from the community, like our parents or teacher. If a person has an interest in sports, a sportsperson can be their role model. Similarly, a student of fine arts may find their role model in the media or movie industry.

My Role Model Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, may not have been the nicest man in the world, but he had a vision. His vision was so revolutionary that he changed the world. However, Jobs did not materialize his vision overnight; in fact, he worked towards it his entire life. At one point, he was even thrown out of his own company. Eventually, he forced his way back into his company and made it the most profitable in the world.

Steve Jobs’ Famous Quote

Steve Jobs had many famous quotes, but the one that inspired me the most is this:

“Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me.”

The above quote inspires us to make something meaningful out of life. Money is important for survival, but that is not the legacy which we should leave behind. Life is precious, and we must dedicate it to making something useful and making ourselves satisfied at the end of the day.

What is Unemployment?

According to the Bureau of Labour Statistics (BLS), a person is said to be unemployed when they do not have a job, though they have actively looked for work in the last four weeks. Moreover, these individuals were temporarily laid off and are waiting to be called back to that job However, the exact definition may vary.

For instance, not all people who are jobless are considered unemployed. Some leave the job market as they are retired, have kids, acquire disabilities or other responsibilities that stop them from working.

What are the Causes of Unemployment?

Unemployment has many causes, the most prominent ones are:

  • Displacement of jobs as a result of new technologies or innovations
  • Recession
  • Competition
  • Government policies
  • Markets and regulation
  • Currently, the coronavirus outbreak has slowed down the economy and threats millions with unemployment

What are the Implications of Unemployment?

Prolonged unemployment causes economic inequality. In the long run, unemployment also has the potential to slow down economic progress. It can drive people to poverty and also directly contribute to increased crime rates. On an individual level, unemployment can erode morale and self-esteem.

Moreover, individuals cannot meet their financial obligations, which can result in drastic repercussions such as foreclosure or eviction. Unemployment can also affect the physical and mental health of an individual – it can increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases, depression, anxiety and other illnesses. In some individuals, unemployment can result in addiction to stimulants and drugs. It can also encourage a latent and sedentary lifestyle, which drastically increases the risk of diseases such as diabetes and blood pressure.

Unemployment may be unavoidable. Some economists also believe that unemployment has some “benefits” – the primary benefit being the pool of individuals readily available for hire. It has also been speculated that unemployment averts inflation – by providing a reserve of labour, thereby keeping wages in check.

Resolutions and Initiatives

India provides unemployment allowances for citizens under certain ages (30 for men and 35 for women). However, their total family income must be less than INR 2,00,000 to be eligible for this scheme.

Plastic Pollution Essay 300 Words

Brief History of Plastic

Parkesine, invented by Alexander Parkes in 1856, was considered the world’s first man-made plastic. However, it incorporated organic materials, such as cellulose. Bakelite, which was created by Leo Baekeland, was the world’s first fully synthetic plastic. Ever since then, mass production of plastic helped to fill niches that were occupied by more expensive and harder-to-manufacture products.

Why do we use Plastic?

At the time, the implications of plastic were unknown because it was a brand new material. Today, we can see the applications of plastic in nearly all aspects of life. The reason plastics are widespread is because of its low cost and ease of manufacturing. When it was invented, it was touted as a material of the future. It found applications in many fields such as medicine, technology, defence, food packaging and more. In fact, plastic has permeated nearly every aspect of our life.

Repercussions of Plastic

Plastics has its downsides too – with the biggest one being biodegradability. Discarded plastics take a very long time to decompose; a plastic straw can take 150 years, a plastic bag can take 50 years, and a plastic water bottle will take almost 450 years. Moreover, most of the discarded plastics end up in the ocean – under these conditions, plastics breakdown into minute particles which are then ingested by plankton.

Plankton is consumed by other animals, such as small fish and other invertebrates. These animals are, in turn, consumed by larger animals such as sharks and bigger fish. Eventually, these microplastics travel up the food chain and reach humans. Some plastics are thought to be carcinogenic. This means it has a higher risk of causing cancer if exposed. Besides its impact on health, plastics also drastically affect the environment. It contributes significantly to global warming and ever-increasing carbon footprint.
