Being a diplomat

 Nowadays young people are a little bit confused, because they need to make a hard decision and choose a profession. Especially now, there is a huge variety of very different professions. A person should do what he or she can do best. If one is gifted in writing, he should become a writer or a journalist and if a person can talk very well, if he is not scared of being in the centre of attention, if he likes travelling and meeting new people, he should become a diplomat. Diplomacy is an interesting profession, but it has disadvantages as well as advantages.


 Diplomacy has a large number of advantages. Travelling, meeting lots of interesting new people, knowing other cultures, communicating with other diplomats from all over the world may be fascinating. Another good point of choosing diplomacy as a profession is learning all your life. I am talking about learning new languages. Learning and improving your knowledge is one of the basics of complete life. Because of all these reasons diplomacy is seen as one of the most interesting professions.


 On the other hand, being a diplomat may not be a very suitable job for all people, especially for those, who think that family is the most important thing in a person's life, because a diplomat must quite often change his living place. This also could be hard for people who cannot accept new cultures, new weather conditions and new people very quickly. And the last which is a minus of this profession is a need of very "cool" nerves and calmness. A diplomat cannot be a disrespectful person, he cannot shout or act silly, because he represents his country. Such things are not very easy for some people and they also are the disadvantages of being a diplomat.

 All in all, I still think that diplomacy is one of the most interesting professions. It gives you an access to communicate with the whole world, to improve yourself as a person, to represent your country. If you would like to choose this profession, you should also consider all the disadvantages, because being a diplomat, like all other professions, has its pluses and minuses as well.
