In this blog post, we will introduce how to convincingly convey your passion for management planning in your application, focusing on the process of your deep exploration beyond mere interest.
Background
When I was a child, my father and mother would drink coffee together after meals, and as a young child who had to be satisfied with just milk, I was fascinated by it. The dark color and aroma of the coffee in the white cup was enough to spark my imagination about what it would taste like. Of course, there were products such as coffee milk and sweet coffee cans at the supermarket, but they tasted completely different from the coffee that quietly gave off a bitter aroma as it steamed in front of my eyes when I stood on tiptoe and looked over the table, so my thirst only grew stronger. Once, when my parents were out, I tried to drink it secretly, but it tasted bitter to my childish palate, and I still felt uncomfortable.
My journey toward the romantic coffee that my parents sipped while sitting together at the dinner table began at that moment. During my childhood, I couldn’t even think of trying coffee mix, except for secretly buying coffee milk or coffee from vending machines. As I grew older, I struggled to find the taste of coffee that had always dominated my imagination. I would recall the memory of a cup of coffee that provided me with a moment of relaxation at the end of a hard day, allowing me to enjoy a romantic moment. I also had a dream of sitting across from my future spouse at the dinner table, drinking a cup of coffee together, and as I took small steps toward that dream, my interest in coffee grew deeper and deeper.
School life
My friends saw my unique hobby of studying every day with an extraordinary enthusiasm for coffee, and whenever my name was mentioned, they would say, “Oh, the coffee lover!” Whenever I went to the school store to buy milk, I would always buy coffee milk, and I loved mocha bread and coffee candies. My passion was so strong that it amazed my friends. Looking back now, I don’t know why I was so obsessed with it at a time when I should have been focusing on my studies, but I remember that it was then that the seeds of my career path began to sprout. What started out as a simple admiration gradually grew in intensity, eventually dominating my life and even becoming the driving force behind it.
My diary and writing were full of coffee-related content, and I had a keen interest in food and beverages in general. Looking back on the traces of my consistent enthusiasm, even in my independent research projects, I sometimes miss those days when I was able to pursue my pure curiosity and enthusiasm without considering practical values. Of course, it was because of who I was back then that I was able to reach my current level, but as a member of society with more responsibilities than I had as a student, looking back on traces of my past memories makes me feel nostalgic. I feel a sense of pride in myself for not letting my childhood dreams go to waste and for finally being able to move in a direction that will allow me to achieve them. Now, rather than looking back on the past, I am looking toward the future.
Personality
I believe that one’s calling is not something grand or extraordinary, but rather the pursuit of something that interests me and that I can be passionate about for a long time, and I am a persistent person. Today, people place a lot of importance on words such as aptitude, vision, and vocation. They often attend universities and work at companies that are universally considered desirable, avoid taking risks, and strive to live lives that are as similar as possible to those of others. They fear that if they choose something on their own and fail, they will have to bear the risk entirely by themselves, so they instinctively try to spread the responsibility as much as possible. In order for society, which is a huge entity, to function, it is necessary to have countless cogs performing consistent tasks, but if you ignore your true aptitude and choose a job that fits into the system simply because it is stable, there is nothing more difficult and sad than that.
When I decided to pursue a career in the coffee industry, which I had been passionate about throughout my school days, my friends were shocked, saying that they never imagined I would take what they considered a mere hobby so far.
Life philosophy
I want to live a life that is true to my heart and passion. People sometimes place more importance on the things we have to endure and put up with than the things we should enjoy and take advantage of, saying, “Everyone lives like this, so you shouldn’t complain.” Rather than immediate rights, they look to future happiness, preferring to carry the burden together rather than acting alone, and consider it a virtue to devote themselves entirely to the present for the sake of the future.
However, I believe that I should pay as much attention to my present life, which sustains me today, as I do to my love for the future. I want to make sure that my efforts are rewarded and that I can enjoy myself so that I can move on to the next stage. In order to keep the machine running long enough to carry my life into the future, I need a lubricant that will provide me with the energy I need.
Motivation and aspirations
When I was a child, my mother and father would share coffee together in a cozy atmosphere, leaving me, who was still growing up, out of the loop. This gave me a chance to gaze longingly at the steaming coffee cups on the cleared dinner table. As a teenager, I tried the instant coffee my parents drank every evening and was disappointed by the difference between reality and fantasy, but I became motivated to devote myself to research, believing that there must be countless types of coffee in the world, including the coffee I had imagined.
Your company prefers talented individuals who are passionate about a particular field and have worked hard to build their skills. Since childhood, I have been fascinated by steaming cups of coffee, and I have worked tirelessly to satisfy my curiosity and thirst for knowledge. I would like to apply my enthusiasm to your company and contribute to the development of new products and consumer testing.
