Is it justifiable to attain a goal by any means while it is worthy? The speaker claims so. I concede that persistence is important while chasing a goal, but sometimes we have to comfort the social lows or face the fact, and choose the best way to attain what you think are worthy.
Admittedly, while some people chasing a goal that is harm to attain, he may need persistence since these difficult things requires accumulating of many factors, without hard working and long time persisting, one could not complete all it need. There is a typical example involves the famous writer that complete the greatest historical record, the ancient. His a handicapped, and leaves a life of poverty all his life, during the time doing his work, he was persecuted by the government for many times unjustifiably just because he wrote the history into the book that bad thing of them. This great work completed until his ninety, and it took him sixty years to write it. Without persistence how could the grate historical records worked out.
However, it is unjustifiable to utilize ways that harms the public or even the society. For instance, Enron, the listed 7th biggest company of America, goes into bankrupt by the crime of fraudulent accounting scandal, which affected the economical order and at last harms both the public and the society. Of course it is the senior management that leads this. Why he did this? It is most probably because the satisfying of their desire for money and fames. Thus, the ways like this to attain a goal are certainly not taken by anyone.
Moreover, sometimes, there are many ways to attain a goal, what we should do is to choose the most suitable way but not just saying whatever. Imaging that what a government could do to improve the citizens’ welfare? Of course there are many ways, there is a direct way that the government may take, that is raise the tax of those enterprises. But this strategy may affect the revenue of them and affect the economical order or even lead to an economical crisis, and, on the contrary, will at last harm the citizens. So it is better to choose another way to fulfill the goal.
In sum, what I believe is, without persistence, one may not attain a goal, and in the basis of comforting the low, we should also choose the best way so that we could attain the goal easily.
