Issue 212 "If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable."

As the well-known quotation John Morley, a British statesman, once said, “It is not enough to do good; one must do it the right way”, it means rationality of ways is as important as that of the goal. So people should take proper means rather than by any possible means to achieve their goals that are worthy and justifiable.

We all know that only by setting a goal first can we devote our efforts following a certain means afterwards. While, when it comes to what is a worthy goal, the answer is fairly diverse.Doctors might think earning more money is worthy thing, scientists regard the breakthrough of their experiment is meaningful, companies might aim at winning in the competition, fixers set objective of alluring more people to take drug, and terrorists might target at killiing more people. It is true that as society is a hodgepodge in that every individual is with different ideas,beliefs, attitudes, characters and endless others aspects, people hold different worthy goals. However, such goals should be justifiable, that is to say, they should not harm other people and society. Otherwise, our society might run out of control and ugliness, blood, death and so on congest it. Hence, only those which are justifiably worthy goals deserve people make efforts.

Actually, progress of our society owes largely to people's justifiable goals and their endeavors. Suchgoals offer people the right direction and great drive as well as passion. Consider,Edison, for example, guided by the goal of inventing material of bulb filament,so could he kept his enduring efforts even failed thousands of times, and finallyilluminated the darkness all over the world. Similarly, Abraham Lincoln, the famous American President, who was driven by his aim of abolishing slavery, struggled all his life time to come true such an object. All these people made great efforts to their goals and finally contributed remarkably to the development of society.

Moreover, significant as the aims and attempts are, means we take should never break moral standards and official laws, especially when in the conflicts of individual and social interests. Imagine, if doctors provide patients bogus drugs or immature technology that are not approved by the authority to gain more money, then the patients might be in the huge risk of death. Or if scientistsinvolve human in biochemical experiments in order to get reliable experiment data, our ethics might face great crisis. Similarly, if companies cheat, debase or frame their competitors in order to win in the fierce competition, perhaps the whole market is in a mess. In such cases, though the goals are reasonable, the means they take conflict with ethic or law, consequently harm the society. So we should control our methods in the range that ethic andlaw permit.

Furthermore, even if the means toward a justifiably worthy goal are not against the morality or laws, private cost of such methods should be taken into account. When such cost beyond our capability, then we should stop where it should stop. For a race driver, doubtlessly, it is a glorious object to drive his car to build up a commanding lead in every competition. While, to achieve such a goal, he might involve himself in intensive training at all hours of the day and night. Too intensive training makes him so tired tokeep careful; and he is very likely risking serious wound and disability or even death. Bloodily but truly, if we have to pay a huge private cost, health and life, on a so-called worthy goal of fame and money, then what’s the meaning of doing this?

A worthwhile as well as meaningful goalshould be the one endeavoring for better life and not harm others or oursociety. And means we take to come true such a nice goal should never betrayour ethics and laws, also, the private cost is nonnegligible. Only through this, can we approach the dreamful world we long for.

It is true that as society is a hodgepodge in that every individual is with different ideas,beliefs, attitudes, characters and endless others aspects, people hold different worthy goals.

Hence, only those which are justifiably worthy goals deserve people (+to) make efforts. 只有是正义时，才值得人们努力追求 P.S. justifiable是想表示正义的么？如果是，just更好；如果是有理由的，那terrorists fixers在他们看来也是有理由的

Actually, progress of our society owes largely to people's justifiable goals and their endeavors. Such goals offer people the right direction and great drive as well as passion. Consider,Edison, for example, 这里是不是另起一句，否则consider的主语变成he了guided by the goal of inventing material of bulb filament,so could he kept his enduring efforts even failed thousands of times, and finallyilluminated the darkness all over the world. Similarly, Abraham Lincoln, the famous American President, who was driven by his aim of abolishing slavery, struggled all his life time to come true such an object.

So we should control our methods in the range that ethic and law permit.方法不应该触犯法律或破坏道德

Furthermore, even if the means toward a justifiably worthy goal are not against the morality or laws, private cost of such methods should be taken into account. When such cost beyond our capability, then we should stop where it should stop. For a race driver, doubtlessly, it is a glorious object to drive his car to build up a commanding lead in every competition.

Bloodily but truly, if we have to pay a huge private cost, health and life, on a so-called worthy goal of fame and money, then what’s the meaning of doing this? 方法同样要考虑个人所付出的代价

A worthwhile as well as meaningful goal should be the one endeavoring for better life and not harm(harming) others or oursociety. And means we take to come true such a nice goal should never betrayour (betray) ethics and laws, also, the private cost is nonnegligible. Only through this, can we approach the dreamful world we long for.

组长的思路真是清晰，语言也简洁到位，读起来很舒服。就是许多单词是不是太急了，两个连到一块了，注意一下就好。
希望组长也能给偶一些指点：）

As the well-known quotation John Morley, a British statesman, once said, “It is not enough to do good; one must do it the right way”, (华丽了，强)it means rationality of ways is as important as that of the goal. So（so，hence什么的千万不要在开头出现；这些词表示你已经得出结论了） people should take proper means rather than by any possible means to achieve their goals that are worthy and justifiable.

We all know that only by setting a goal first can we devote our efforts following a certain means afterwards. While, when it comes to what is a worthy goal, the answer is fairly diverse.Doctors might think earning more money is worthy thing, scientists regard the breakthrough of their experiment is meaningful, companies might aim at winning in the competition, fixers set objective of alluring more people to take drug, and terrorists might target at killiing more people. It is true that as society is a hodgepodge 好词 in that every individual is with different ideas,beliefs, attitudes, characters and endless others aspects, people hold different worthy goals. However, such goals should be justifiable, that is to say, they should not harm other people and society.（老实说我觉得你在这里举例字更好些，前面是现象段，引入；而从however才开始分析；） Otherwise, our society might run out of control and ugliness, blood, death and so on congest it. Hence, only those which are justifiably worthy goals deserve people make efforts.

Actually, progress of our society owes largely to people's justifiable goals （我觉得还不如说在正常范围内的any means 是justifiable；这段实际没有讨论means 和goal 的关系以及后果；落脚点worthy没提。我感觉偏了）and their endeavors. Suchgoals offer people the right direction and great drive as well as passion. Consider,Edison, for example, guided by the goal of inventing material of bulb filament,so could he kept his enduring efforts even failed thousands of times, and finallyilluminated the darkness all over the world. Similarly, Abraham Lincoln, the famous American President, who was driven by his aim of abolishing slavery, struggled all his life time to come true such an object. All these people made great efforts to their goals and finally contributed remarkably to the development of society.

Moreover, significant as the aims and attempts are, means we take should never break moral standards and official laws, especially when in the conflicts of individual and social interests. Imagine, if doctors provide patients bogus drugs or immature technology that are not approved by the authority to gain more money, then the patients might be in the huge risk of death. Or if scientistsinvolve human in biochemical experiments in order to get reliable experiment data, our ethics might face great crisis. Similarly, if companies cheat, debase or frame their competitors in order to win in the fierce competition, perhaps the whole market is in a mess. In such cases, though the goals are reasonable, the means they take conflict with ethic or law, consequently harm the society. So we should control our methods in the range that ethic andlaw permit. （老实说我觉得你这段也偏了，最简单的办法就是看worthy出现了多少次）

Furthermore, even if the means toward a justifiably worthy goal are not against the morality or laws, private cost of such methods should be taken into account. When such cost beyond our capability, then we should stop where it should stop. For a race driver, doubtlessly, it is a glorious object to drive his car to build up a commanding lead in every competition. While, to achieve such a goal, he might involve himself in intensive training at all hours of the day and night.

A worthwhile as well as meaningful goalshould be the one endeavoring for better life and not harm others or oursociety. And means we take to come true such a nice goal should never betrayour ethics and laws, also, the private cost is nonnegligible. Only through this, can we approach the dreamful world we long for.
