(16) The Caribbean islands are divided into two worlds, a rich one, and a poor one. This tropical regions economy is based mainly on farming. Farmers are of 2 types. One is the plantation owner who may have hundreds of thousands of acres. In contrast，the small cultivator is working only a few acres of land. Most visitors to the Caribbean are rich like the plantation owner. They do not realize or do not want to realize that many foreign families barely managed to get by on what they grow. (17)The Caribbean produces many things. Sugar is the main product. Other export crops are tobacco, coffee, bananas, spices, and citrus fruits, such as orange, lemon or grapefruit. From the west indies also come oil, mineral pitch and many forest products. Jamaica's aluminum or supplies are the world's largest oil comes from Trinidad，Aruba and Chicago. But for many of the smaller islands，sugar is the only export rum，a strong alcoholic drink，which is distilled from sugar cane is also an export.

The world's best realm comes from this area. Local kinds vary from the light runs of Puerto Rico to the heavier Dhaka rums of Barbados and Jamaica. American tourists enjoy stalking up on inexpensive, high quality Caribbean rum. While they are on vacation. In caracal, the well known liquor of that name is made from the thick outer skin of a native orange. Ever since America's colonial days. Caribbean islands have been favorite places to visit since world war two, tourism has increased rapidly because great numbers of people go there.The islanders have built elaborate resorts, develop harbors and airfields improved beaches and have expanded sea and air routes.

Everything is at the resort, hotel, beach, shopping and recreation. The vacationer never has any reason to explore the island as in most places. Those who have money live indeed, those who don't have money live at various levels of poverty. (18) But here the poor greatly outnumber the wealthy, a visitor will find rich people living in apartments or Spanish houses at the seaside are in the countryside. Their servants might include a cook, a maid and a nurse for the children. Most of the people live well below the poverty level. In towns, they live crowded together in tiny houses.

Talk to anyone who's a generation or two older？And they would most likely comment that children are more spoiled these days. No one wants to have or be around, demanding, selfish and spoiled children. Those who get bad-tempered or silently brewed when they're not given everything they want immediately. Paradoxically, the parents have such children encouraged this demanding behavior in the mistaken belief that by giving their children everything they can, their children will be happy. In the short term, perhaps they are right. (19) But in the longer term, such children end up lonely, dependent, chronically dissatisfied and resentful of the parents who tried so hard to please them. Undoubtedly parents want to raise happy children who are confident, capable and likable rather than spoiled and miserable. (20) One factor hindering this is that parents can't or don't spend enough quality time with their kids and substitute this deficit with toys, games, gadgets, and the like. Rather than getting material things, children need parents’ devoted attention. The quantity of time spent together is less important than the content of that time. Instead of instantly satisfying their wishes, parents should help them work out a plan to earn things they'd like to have. This teaches them to value the effort as well as what it achieved, allow them to enjoy anticipation. Numerous psychological studies have demonstrated that children who learn to wait for things they desire are more likely to succeed in a number of ways later in life. One famous experiment in the 1960s involve 3 to 6 year old children. They were given a choice between receiving a small reward such as a cookie immediately or if they waited 15 minutes, they could have two. Follow-up studies have found that those who chose to delay satisfaction and now more academically successful, have greater self worth and even tend to be healthier. If they fail, children should be encouraged to keep trying rather than to give up if they really want the desired result. (21) This teaches them how to handle and recover from disappointment, which is associated with greater success and satisfaction academically, financially and in personal relationships. And lastly, parents should encourage their children to look at life from other points of view as well as their own.

This teaches them to be understanding of and sympathetic towards others. Qualities should take them a long way in life.

It’s not hard to mess up an interview. Most people feel nervous sitting across from a hiring manager, answering questions that effectively opened themselves up for judgment. (22) And your chances of being more carefully considered for the job can quickly go downhill just by saying the wrong thing, at the wrong time. (23)The most obvious thing not to do is complain. Employers want to hire positive people talking about a previous job negatively raises concerns that you might be difficult to manage, or you might be someone that blames management for your own poor performance. Don't say that you've moved around in jobs because you haven't found the right fit or feel that you were not challenged enough. Statements like these will make you sound aimless and lost. An interviewer may well think why would this role be any different for you？You will probably leave here in 6 months. It also begs the question of what type of relationship you had with your manager. It doesn't sound like you had open communication with him or her. (24) Managers usually love people who can self-sustain and enable growth through taking initiative, who are strong at following through their work and who bring ideas and solutions to the table. If you were in a management or leadership position, when discussing your current role, never take all the credit for accomplishments or achievements. Emphasize your team and how through their talents, your vision was realized. Most successful leaders know that they are only as good as their team. And acknowledging this in an interview will go a long way towards suggesting that you might be the right person for the position you are applying for.

Lastly, have a good idea of what your role will be and try and convey the idea that you're flexible, asking what your role will be. Suggest you will limit yourself purely to what is expected of you. In reality, your role is whatever you make of it. (25) This is especially true in small companies where the ability to adapt and take on new responsibilities is highly valued. And this is equally important if you are just starting out. Entry level interviewees would do well to demonstrate a broad set of skills in most interviews. It's important to have a wide skill set as many start-ups and small companies are moving really fast. Employers are looking for candidates that are intelligent and can quickly adapt and excel in a growing company.
