Sample
I don’t agree with his opinion. I have had many different jobs in my life and
the most important factor has always been money. For money, people get up
earlier, work out harder, and are able to do the impossible. You need money
if you want to take care of your family. When I am looking for a job, I always
think about the salary first. I have had many different jobs where the pay has
been good and the work has been repetitive and monotonous. This is not a
problem for me. I am good at learning anything. I just need the right
incentive. In my case, this incentive is money.
My script
First, the video is amazing; I hadn't seen it before. Well, I think there are
many motivators in the work life like money, science, growing up, to be
recognized, personal goals and many others. I think money is
important but not the most important, instead I think creativity,
innovation and doing new a different stuff is the most important. I have
worked at my University and I have learned many things because I
always wanted doing new things, for example I changed some things
that I knew they’re wrong. I created and showed new ways to do many
things. For example, I gave my ideas to fill tasks out and that got better
my work. Money came after, but wasn't a great incentive. My motivator
was having done new things there. 11 months ago I came back to there
and I developed other creative idea to send many emails on Internet
from the University: more organized, better designed and easier. That
made me happy
