Ben Watkins, Marketing Manager

My road to success was not easy. At school I didn't like maths so when I decided to study marketing and mana­gement my parents didn't like the idea. My family is known for their special passion. My grandpa was a doc­tor, my parents are doctors and my sister is a doctor. Somehow everybody expected me to follow in my par­ents' footsteps. I do admire their hard work, but medi­cine was not my cup of tea. At present, I am Marketing Manager in a big multinational company. Next month we are launching a new product on the market so I've got rather a lot to do, which I don't mind because I like working. Actually, I am very busy but I love my job.

Alison Webb, Journalist

Journalism has always appealed to me. But in this pro­fession you have to be persistent and patient. You might have to wait for quite a long time before you can write about things you have always wanted to write. My first job was part-time since I was a student at the time. I must say it taught me a lesson. I worked very hard, writing very short texts about the current events in the capital. I wasn't well-paid, but at that time money was not a problem. I could always rely on my parents, and I will always remember that. Now I am Manager of Fashion Section in Elegance, a monthly magazine for women. One thing hasn't changed, though. I still work very hard.

John Derrick, Student of Economics

Being a student of economics has some advantages. For example, I can understand why the government has to make some unpopular decisions. On the other hand, I can also predict the results of poor co-ordination between our fiscal and monetary policy. Yesterday I opened a newspaper and most of the texts were about the approaching recession. Economists say that the rate of unemployment will be higher and more than 3 mil­lion people will lose their jobs next year. This isn't good news. Well, I hope I'm capable of becoming a good econo­mist. I'd like to work for a big multinational company in the future.

Jane Peterson, Personnel Manager

My parents have always believed in me, so I guess that if not for them, I would never have become Personnel Manager in a big company. But I must admit I was lucky enough to be surrounded by colleagues for whom my sex wasn't an issue. They just needed a co-worker with specific practical skills. They have chosen me because of my professionalism and open-mindedness. I get on very well with our employees and I suppose they

even like me a little. I encourage all girls to have ambi­tious plans. Dreams do come true!

Unusual Christmas

Sarah and Claire decided to go somewhere hot for Christmas. You can imagine the pandemonium when they announced the big news to their parents. For them, Christmas without presents under a Christmas tree, a big turkey dinner, pulling the cracker and eating a fabulous (some people wouldn't share my opinion here!) Christmas pudding or Christmas cake is incomplete. 'Why do they need a change now? Where did we go wrong?' Sarah and Claire's mother kept asking herself. However, the only sensible explanation for this and similar cases is that young people need variety. They value tradition, but they do not feel like being slaves to tradition.

'We are packed, our plane tickets are to be collected on Thursday' says Claire. 'I've celebrated Christmas in the traditional way all my life. And I love the atmos­phere of Christmas at my family home, all the prepara­tion and stuff. But I need a change. I like winter too, but this year Sarah and I wanted to celebrate Christmas alone, far from our family home.'

When asked about the reasons for their decision, they both say that the idea came to them two weeks ago when one of them had seen a documentary about Sydney. 'Claire called me and said we might spend Christmas in Australia this year. I thought she was jok­ing. But when she started listing travel agencies she had already contacted I knew she was not pulling my leg.' 'Actually, I had booked two plane tickets before I phoned her', adds Claire.

My last question was about their parents' attitude towards their plan after a few days had passed. 'Our parents tend not to hide their dissatisfaction with our decision but they have finally accepted it and helped us plan the shopping' says Sarah. 'And I understand their

mixed feelings. I hope they will also understand ours. We are not rebellious teenagers. We are adults who just need some variety in order not to let our family tradi­tions go stale. We will look forward to our next Christmas with our parents and relatives. This year we will spend our Christmas on the beach.'

Sarah and Claire are leaving next weekend. They have already given their Christmas presents to their beloved ones and friends. They like windsurfing a lot and hope to get big waves in Australia this Christmas. As both of them are fond of hitchhiking, they are unlikely to stay in one place for a long time.

Sarah believes that her sister was born to travel. Claire knows that she needs her sister's sensibility and common sense. To cut a long story short, it's good they love travelling together.
