Most people nowadays are persistently seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals.Marketing yourself is when there is a demand for you and your services that will help you achieve your goals．
Marketing yourself means you are simply "selling" yourself! The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is nasty to do this．They think that marketing concerns only to a business.Of course, this is absolutely not true.People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves.
In every attempt you make, just think that marketing yourself is a very useful tool.The better you market yourself, the more opportunities you will have．Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are.It simply means telling your prospective employer that you exist, that you have the possibility of generating much greater income than your prospective employer makes.Or maybe you have the chance of doing something better.There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself．But there are only two primary approaches that you implement（实施）.The first is you find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.
In order for you to reach out and touch the lives of others, you have to be a good person and a good employee．In that way your good reputation will follow naturally.Have a brief and concise（简明） message that you can share with others．When you market yourself, you tell people who you are and what you can do for others．Plan well and practice your message.
In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them.Bear in mind that communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself.You also communicate by what you are wearing．Know the appropriate dress code and have a plenty of time to decide what you will wear.Just remember to make a great first impression!
According to the passage, in general people tend to think marketing yourself          .

All of the following are True about the marketing yourself except     

In order to market yourself well, you can do these things except

Which is the best title for this passage?

Life comes in a package.This package includes happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process.Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person.With each passing day we learn to handle various situations．
Love
Love plays a pivotal role on out life．Love makes you feel wanted．Without love a person could go Hayward(不归路) and also become cruel and ferocious．In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad．But we always tend to take this for granted．It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others feelings．Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better．
Happiness and Sorrow
Materialistic happiness is short-lived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others face gives a certain level of fulfillment．Peace of mind is the main link to happiness.No mind is happy without peace.We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow．Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair.But these things are temporary and pass away.
Failure and Success
Failure is the path to success.It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way.Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect.Here it becomes very important to keep our head on our shoulder.The only way to show our gratitude to God for bestowing success on us is by being humble, modest, courteous and respectful to the less fortunate ones.
Hope and Despair
Hope is what keeps life going.Parents always hope their children will do well．Hope makes us dream.Hope builds in patience.Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.Nothing remains the same we have only one choice keep moving on in life and be hopeful.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control.Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull.So the only alternative is work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.

When you’re surfing the Internet on your laptop from your dorm or home, do you know your personal details are being gathered secretly? And would you be surprised to know the information may be sold cheaply to advertisers and marketers?
According to an investigation by The Wall Street Journal, all it takes is a tiny file in a computer-a single code consisting of a long series of numbers and letters- to record the computer user’s age, gender, location, favorite movies and hobbies.
The newspaper reports that Lotame Solutions Inc., a New York company, uses sophisticated(高科技) software called a "beacon" to capture what people are typing on a website.
