自然な表現

They would say that I'm a bit egoistic person but, it is relative to my ambition. You know, ambitious a person often looks egoistic. Like Donald Trump, Oops, he is just a stupid person.

1. using "would" directly responds to the question and expresses "possibility". we need "that" to introduce the next clause
2. we often say "relative to" to express "corresponding", "in comparison with"
3. indefinite article needed for countable "person"
Hahaha. Well, why would they say that you are selfish? And why, in your opinion, are ambitious people selfish and egoistic?

Thank you for laughing. Some person don't accept joking. Anyway, ambitious person has strong will. It is often conflict practical thinking people because they can't follow his wide vision. So, they say, great person is lonely because such a person has to ignore many advise from them. Normal person think about such behavior is just selfish.

1. we can use the plural form to refer to something in general
2. we can use the noun form here
3. we need to add the preposition to complete the phrase
I see your point. However, why do your friends perceive you like that? Are there any particular characteristics that influence their perception?

They don't perceive my ambitious so, they say you are egoistic. I am only protect my private time but, they often offer to go out, like BBQ, movie and golf and so on. It's so annoying for me. I often don't accept their offer, then I have to got label of unfriendly person moreover egoistic. I want to spend my time for skill up.

1. we need the verb-ing here to refer to what you are doing (continuously)
2. after "they", we can use this phrase and form the active voice
3. to describe the tag or the quality/characteristic of the person, we need this phrase
I know what you mean. That actually makes perfect sense. It's always better to invest in oneself, right?

Thank for your understanding. I really want to blush up my character for my aim. Needless to say, I love to company with my friends but, our life time is limited. We have to choice what to do every time. Our life of full of desire therefore, it is important strong mentality.

1. typo/spelling corrected
2. we can use this phrase or "spend time with" or maybe "I love to be in the company of my friends"
3. we need the verb form here ("choice" is a noun)
4. we need this verb here to describe "our life"

I completely agree with you on this. There is actually no time to waste and we need to stay focused.

Thank you so much. Then, do I pass this interview? If yes, now, shall we move on about my salary? "Fast is best" is my motto. Moreover, can I start working right now? I don't have any schedule so, I would like to do that.
