During my high school years, plagiarism was my best friend when it came to writing papers. i took sources from books, websites, magazines and copied it word for word on to my essays without citing my sources. its actually quite easy to do especially when copying from a website. all you have to do is highlight what you want to copy, then right click the mouse and click on copy. now go into your word document and right click the mouse again and then click paste. finished! I now have plagiarism on my essay.

plagiarizing might be easy, but I did not develope any writing skills by doing so. it did not require any creativity at all. well maybe I was a little creative when i tried to get away with it by changing a few random words. then one day, i finally got busted. turned in my research paper and when i got it back. The biggest Red F you could possibly imagine on a 8×11 piece of paper was MY reasearch paper. damn…

If I was praised for work I did not do, I would not accept it. I would simply say “I appreciate the compliment, but most of the work was done by my partner”. This way you do get part of the praising and you also show your boss that you’re an honest person. I definitely want to work in a friendly environment. So being on everyone’s good side might be the best way. How would my co-worker feel if I took the boss’s praising? I would have made an enemy in the work environment and would make it really uncomfortable every time I saw him/her.

I have worked in environments both with good and bad colleagues. My current job for instance, has such a wonderful staff. Some even became my good friends. I simply enjoy going to work and don’t mind it at all. My previous job was the opposite. I had such horrible colleagues and could not stand going to work to be around them. It was so bad that I quit my job to search for a different one.

The visual beauty also compliments its sweet taste that oranges cannot compare to. Since you have an orange and I have a apple. Let’s trade so you can experience what joy an apple can bring.
