"Society's external rewards are no measure of true success. True success can be measured only in relation to the goals one sets for oneself."
Is the true success can only measured in relation to the goals one sets for oneself instead of the society’s external rewards, as this statement proposes? In response to this question, we must analyze the issue intensively and methodically. Admittedly, the goals one sets for oneself is the foundation of the success.However, I basically disapprove that the only true measurement of real success is that because people’s success must meet the needs of society, and the success should be valuable not only for oneself but for the world.
First and foremost, it cannot be denied that the personal goals lead the guidance of success. From the history, we learned that before you achieve success you must set an object and make up a whole plan. The Wright Brothers gained the success of making the first flight through making them a dream to fly in one day. Without a clear goal, people don’t know where their lives are going. So, only reaching your own dream can touch the success.
However, in spite of the merits of the author’s claim, I disagree with the opinion that the goals one sets for oneself is the only and best way to measure success , considering the factors below.
Firstly, success must meet the needs of society. Individual’s success can be varied, from getting a high grade to entering the dream college. But if you admit the success is only you dream about, it is likely that you have a limit eye on the future. Individual is part of the society, everyone’s own success help constructing our society. Bill Gates was interested in computer and Internet, so he endeavored to reach his dream. But at the same time, there was a responsibility for him to help others in his mind. Now we admire him not because he is the CEO of Microsoft company, but he donated so much money to people who need help. That’s his real success, when reaching his goal he used to set, he contributed to society, which made a true success.
Secondly, the success should be valuable not only for oneself but for the world. For the reason that different people who are raised in different surroundings, they establish their own value systems, which means the value determine the goals of their lives. Some people value the wrong and horrible dream as their goal. Hitler, we all know this name , who gave us too much disasters that even worse than the nature gave. He killed billions of people only to reach the goal worthy for him, while as we see now, is totally unbelievable. Can we evaluate the success or failure on his own goal? No one dares to agree with that.
Last but not least, and perhaps the most significantly, the speaker does not take into account the fact that true success means what you contribute to the society , and it is essential and wise that everyone has the responsibility to realize this question.
Analyzing the reasons above, I admit that it is vital and important that success partly is measured in relation to the goals one sets for oneself.
Nevertheless, we need to seek a balance and take a general consideration about treating success as our own dream and also as the return for society.
终于限时成功了,奔泪。。。 |
