Both texts focus on the music business. While the first writing articulates its opinion on CDs
sales, the second one makes particular mention of the reason why concerts spur so much
emotion among spectators thus, alluring die hard fans.

While the first text claims that file-sharing platforms are the bane of big music companies, it
also places great importance on the impact that downloading music without paying for it has
on underground artist. For instance, not only do these platforms bolster this music scene
exposure, but also bring musician´s dreams of becoming notorious to fruition. Benefits that
ensue from file-sharing sites.

Pondering on another aspect of the music showbiz, the second paragraph provides insight
into the fuss over live presentations. Moreover, it examines some reasons as for why people
deem concerts exhilarating. Rarely do we consider that the general public finds live shows
so alluring thus leaving the venue spellbound. Although there seems to be a general
consensus of opinion over the ambience of said places being the trigger of the wide public
concerts bear, the second text does not provide an inalienable answer.

Never had it occur to me that there could be such a craze over concerts. Suffice it to say that
nowadays due to youngsters the number of people jumping on the bandwagon of live
performances is unprecedented. To my mind, there seems to be no doubt about how the
music industry is changing since both texts state various reasons to show that music does
not no longer remain traditional as some used to reckon: technology and a love for concerts
are taking over the industry.

Small business can also be beneficial. This is what the first text advocates. Stating that
smaller business should not be looked down on since they can also be profitable to
entrepreneurs. Nonetheless, both big or small there are certain rules that people need to
follow in order to set up a business. On the other hand, the second writer stresses that
successful people see the bigger picture. The text states that only by having determination
and yearing success will you be able to reach the apex of your business will be not only
utterly beneficial but also get your business entrenched in the market.

The first essayist suggest businessman get advice and do research before setting their
hearts on the market since becoming successful without any work is far fetched. The text
focal point is the fact that before setting your small business people need to learn the ropes
of economics in order to be able to stand a chance in the cut throat competition the business
world is. Whereas the second text, focuses on stating that if you want to be ever more
successful you need to go the extra mile and broaden your business horizons. It states that
successful people refuse defeat and always remain both determined and positive in order to
reach their goals thus fulfill their yearn for power.

Never have I read about business people being so focused on being ahead of the pack. it is
no secret that nowadays more and more business have begun to bloom hence why I stan by
the second essayist who defends the fact that in order to remain successful one has to push
over the limit. I suggest we remember obstacles are only things we might see when we take
our eyes off the goal.

Although there are a plethora of websites which offer advice on how to set up a business
there is more than meets the eye. One must remain confident and follow that inner drive for
success and follow a plan which entails all the rules that ought to be followed in the business
world. Suffice it to say, if you are not setting up your business by the book you are more than
likely to be back to square one.
