Some famous athletes and entertainers earn millions of dollars every year.
Do you think these people deserve such high salaries? Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinions.
In my case, especially, I really love baseball game. Both watching and playing the game are very exciting for me. Specifically, I like Chan-ho Park, one of the famous Korean baseball players now belonging to the team of L.A Dodgers in U.S.A. Now, it has been often reported that he has earned about an estimated 10 million dollars in a year. He has already become a hero and an idol star in our country. However, I have never thought that it is too much money for him in terms of his hard working and efforts he has poured so far.
Once I have watched a T.V documentary program that was dealt with about ParkĄ¯s life. He has also experienced failures like falling down to the minor league a couple of times and loneliness he had felt in foreign country. However, he never gave up and overcome those slumps with hard training and practicing. Finally, with those efforts he has reached the reputations and honors he might feel now. Also, on the other hand, he is a kind of patriot in terms of national wealth because he earns a great deal of dollars and provoke a kind of hopeful and positive mind in our people tired with during the period of economic recession since 1997.
Futhermore, he has given the strong impression of typical character of our country like patience and efforts for reaching a goal to the American society.
Sometimes, whenever I played the baseball game when I was young, I always felt that it needs highly skills and trainings to win the game. Although I can not compare to the ParkĄ¯s story, I can imagine his processes in order to get his current status. I think we should praise and admire the high salaried people in the era of both athletics and entertainment in terms of the amounts of sweats and hard working they made.
