very ill, and soon she knew that she was dying. Just before she died, she asked Elizabeth and me to
go to her room. She held our hands and said, "Victor and Elizabeth, my children, I'm very happy
because you love each other, and because one day you'll get married. Everyone in the family loves
you, Elizabeth. Will you take
my place in the family, my dear? I can die happy if you look after them when I have gone."
My mother died and we were very sad, because we loved her dearly. Elizabeth was brave and
helped us; her sweet smile gave us some happiness in the unhappy days after my mother's death.
The time came for me to go to university. I didn't want to leave my sad family, but we all knew that
I should go. It as hard to leave, too, because the parents of my good friend Henry would not let
him go to university with me. So I had gone alone.
On my first day at university I met my teacher, Professor Waldman, who was one of the greatest
scientists in the world. He gave a wonderful talk to all the students who were starting at the university.
He ended his talk by saying, "Some of you will become the greatest scientists of tomorrow. You must
study hard and discover everything that you can. This is why God made you intelligent-to help other
people."
After the professor's talk, I thought very carefully. I remembered the storm when I was 15; I
remembered how the lightning had destroyed the tree. From then on, I wanted to use electricity to
help people, and I wanted to discover the secrets of life. I decided to work on these two things.
I started to work the next day. I worked very hard and soon Professor Waldman and I realized
that I could learn to be a very good scientist.
The professor helped me very much, and other important scientists who were his friends helped
me, too. I was interested in my work and I did not take one day's holiday during the next two years,
I did not go home, and my letters to my family were very short.
After two years, I had discovered many things and I built a scientific machine that was the best in
the university. My machine would help me answer the most important question of all. How does life
begin? Is it possible to put life into dead things? To answer these questions about life I had to learn
first about death. I had to watch bodies from the moment when they died and the warm life left them.
In the hospital and in the university, I watched the dying and the dead. Day after day, month after month,
I followed death, so it was a dark and terrible time.
I built a tall mast about 150 metres high, which is higher than the tallest building in the city, to catch
lightning and send the electricity down to my machine in the lab. I believed I could use that electricity to
give life to things that were dead.
Then one day, the answer came to me. Suddenly I was sure that I knew the secret of life.

| When you are in a place where you are hunting for a new job or career, you will find that there are several things needing your atten tion. Jobs and careers are fewer than you might entirely be prepared for; especially when satisfying employment is something you need to seriously think about. How are you going to find the job that you want and how are you going to avoid traps in your way? When you want to make the most out of your job search, take a moment and think about the things that you must avoid at all costs. One of the most important rules is, never to compromise on your requirements such that it will negatively affect your life and peace of mind at a later stage. Keep in mind your basic expectations from a job. It might be something along the lines of increased monetary pay ment or you might find that it has something to do with benefits or time off. Whatever it is that you count as your basic requirements, make sure that you do not accept a job without it. Your requirements might be difficult to get, but you have all the rights to try and a chieve them. That being said, don't shy away from odd jobs that might actu ally take you to the place that you want to be in, eventually. Some- times, finding the right job is a matter of luck and chance after you have been searching and putting in a lot of efforts. And if something unexpected happens, remember that taking chances is something you might want to seriously consider. You are in a place where you are thinking about moving forward, so don't be surprised by what route it might take to get there. As long as you keep your goals in mind, you are going to be doing much better than other people are during their job search. If you are looking for the right career, another thing that you can do to make sure that you get the right kind of employment is to advertise yourself. When you do nothing to push yourself forward, you will be the one suffering for it. If required, motivate yourself and try to look at all that you possess by way of positive traits. Make sure that you can present your skills and abilities in the best light possi ble. If the jobs that you have set your sights on are challenging, set targets for yourself and work towards them in a systematic and fo cused manner. The more efforts you put into marketing yourself, the better will be your chances of obtaining the job of your choice. Remember that when you are working on a job search, you should not shortchange yourself. This is because you will only hurt yourself by aiming low. What to avoid during your job search | ||||||||
