As soon as Mary knew that she had to send in a self-made simple machine for the competition, she started working on it right away. Firstly, Mary concocted a plan on how she should go about making her product. When she had finally decided on making it out of wood, she started on it immediately. As one who cares about precision, she made consummate measurements in the manifold components of her machine before sawing it. After working on it for several weeks, Mary submitted her work with confidence. Indeed, her hard work did pay off. A few days later, Mary was informed that her machine had won the first prize. Mary, upon hearing the news, had a good cause to exult.

The boss swept a cursory glance at his workers. One of them is the culprit. He was sure of it. Yet, these workers had all been committed to the company for several years straight. From this incident, the boss can tell that while most of the workers are loyal, there was one who was the antithesis of them all. This man had the temerity to steal and pocket some of the company's most important blueprints. Just the thought of this flared him up. Who was it that had that must courage and cupidity to commit such a crime? How had he done and covered it up so nicely? Where are the blueprints? Are they in the hands of an interloper? A rich interloper with such a sum of money to bribe one of his loyal workers? The boss needed time to think this through and come to a conclusion.

It was late in the night when the burglar and his accomplice reached the museum. Their objective was simple - All they had to do was to break into the historical museum and steal some artifacts. The burglar sneered at the look of the museum as he thought to himself "The architects were stupid to believe that this pathetic security system is a paragon for all important buildings and would preclude the chance of a theft.". He promised silently to himself that this time he will succeed and nothing would fetter his way. Yet, he clearly knew that if he were to be held culpable in the theft of the priceless artifacts, the consequences will be dreadful. He could be spending the rest of his life in jail or worse, a death sentence. Despite the heavy consequences, he knew that he would be rich if he were to succeed. What separates unimaginable richness from poverty was the courage and strategy used in his break-in. Both of them have weighed the risks and came to the conclusion that doing this was worth the risk. The burglar nodded his head at his accomplice and silently, both of them set to work.

When I was young, I had always marvelled at the dangerous tasks a fireman had to do in the event of a fire. Recently, I watched a documentary on television showing what exactly goes on inside the building engulfed by flames. One of my favourite extract from the documentary is about how an experienced fireman battled the lethal flames that are about to engulf a mammoth looking building and his singular act of valor to rescue helpless people trapped in the building but was constantly endangering his own life in the whole process. Though aged, he made an effort to precipitate his pace of rescuing people as he knew that every second delayed counts. Through experience from trainings and drills, his hard work had finally paid off as shown in the part where his pair of incisive ears could pick up the faint cries of help from inside the building. Ignoring the flames that constantly nettle his eyes and nose, h e made his way into the collapsing building. Due to his experience and quick thinking, many lives were spared from the fire.
