呵呵,WORD的自动纠错对俺果然适用。
Before giving any comment to this issue, it is necessary for us to make the definition clear that what is exactly success. Since each man leads his life in his own way, there are various kinds of criterions of success. But one of them is unchangeable, that is the external rewards of the society. Therefore, I will not agree the argument that “Society’s external rewards are no measure of true success. True success can be gauged in relation to the goals one sets for oneself.
We have to confess that no matter success can be seen or not, as long as it exists, it must be embodied in some way, even the God cannot create a success which you cannot feel. For example, when an engineer finishes conducting building a bridge with his fellow workers, we see a beautiful bridge stand across the river, which provides us with convenient transportation, we call it a success; when a painter presents us a refined painting full of sense of beauty, which arouses our inspiration or love for life, we call it a success. Nevertheless, if someone tells you that he has got a goal, will you consider it to be a success? Certainly not. Setting a goal, and within the range one could reach, just makes the success to be possible, rather than success itself. If there is any success, it will be performed by the society’s external rewards, both physically and mentally.
If one sets a goal for oneself is a success, then success will be too easy to be called success. Everyone can set a goal irresponsibly, without endeavor to accomplish it. In this case, it is more appropriate to call the setting of a goal a failure than success. And personal goals can be of various kinds: a dandy may consider getting a pretty girl’s attention to be a success, can we call that a real success? Or a thief’s success is to steal money from a passenger’s pocket, can we admit that to be a real success? Moreover, even if one sets a goal, and try his best to reach it, there will be unavoidably two results, one is success and the other failure, so merely setting a goal cannot decides success or not.
Although our personal success may be too minute to be seen instantaneously, it will be accumulated to large scale to be conspicuously displayed from the society’s external rewords. In addition, for some people with special conditions, such as someone always being purposeless, or indolent, it is a incipient success for him to set a goal, but that’s not the true success by all means.
In one word, society’s external rewards are measures of true success, while it cannot be gauged only in relation to the goal one sets for oneself. |
