Issue 35no matter what the situation, it is more harmful to compromise one’s beliefs than to adhere to them. 不管在什么样的情况下，妥协总是没有坚持好。

Certainly there is no doubt that perseverance in one’s beliefs is a highly valuable character to ensure his/her success. But by arguing that whatever the situation is, to compromise one’s beliefs is always more harmful to adhere to them, it seems to go to extreme. As a matter a fact, there are many occasions where we would benefit more if a certain extent of concession can be made.   

In the first place, it is not very difficult to point out that no one can actually eschew such a situation, where his/her beliefs are certain to be out-of-date, ungrounded, erroneous or even absurd ones. If he/she has not realized the underlying problems with his/her beliefs, presumably his/her insistence on them has its justification more or less. However, when anyone else has explicitly revealed the erroneousness or absurdity in his/her beliefs, if that person is still unwilling to revise or abandon his/her stereotypes, then his/her perseverance will not be a virtue, but a vice. Newton stubbornly insisted on his beliefs in the existence of the God in his later life, no one says that that was in such a great man to do. It was also in the same later life, by contrast, that Einstein compromised his belief partly to Bohr that light is made up of basic particles and to some extent absorbed Bohr’s idea that light is made up of waves. What Einstein lost was only an obsolete idea, but he gained a breakthrough in science exploring and obtained people’s respects.     

Furthermore, often one’s beliefs are concerned with individual interests. When this situation occurs, compromise at most times will give rise to an increase in total benefits to both controversial sides. For example, suppose that there is a factory believing that what is most important is to ensure its workers’ employment and payment, but citizens living nearby insist that their health shouldn’t be imperiled by waste discharging from that factory. If both sides stubbornly persist in their belief, never would the solving methods come up and all their benefits would be harmed. Instead, if they both concede the justification of other standpoint and are prepared to make a concession, a more rational and fruitful outcome will ensue.  

Last but not the least, compromise sometimes will conduce to improving on original beliefs. In logics and mathematics, there is a powerful analyzing method named apagoge, which means that we can deduce what result we want by analyzing the necessary incorrect results from temporarily giving up original ideas. The effect of compromising one’s beliefs on the improvement of original ideas is similar to this method of apagoge. Through making a temporary compromise and thinking in the opposite direction, we will obtain many useful results unexpected with stubborn adherence, and ultimately help us find the undue in original beliefs, conducing to the proper improvement on them.

In conclusion, despite the importance of perseverance, unduly emphasizing it will transform a virtue into a vice. In many cases, making an appropriate concession is not only useful, but also necessary.  (503 words)

我觉得写得很好，真是羡慕你，能够举出这么多好例子。特别是apagoge那一段，可以算是insightful了！
个人认为你的文章思路如下：
1.Adherence 不一定都好，compromise 并不是都坏
2.compromise 是必要的
3.正面说compromise有时是更能加强original belief的。

我想如果能够把“compromise 是有条件的”这个观点融入“1.Adherence 不一定都好，compromise 并不是都坏”中，可能会更好一些。

不知道说得对不对，希望高手指正！

Issue 35no matter what the situation, it is more harmful to compromise one’s beliefs than to adhere to them. 不管在什么样的情况下，妥协总是没有坚持好。

Certainly there is no doubt that perseverance in one’s beliefs is a highly valuable character to ensure his/her success. But by arguing that whatever the situation is, to compromise one’s beliefs is always more harmful (than) to adhere to them, it seems to go to extreme. As a matter a fact, there are many occasions where we would benefit more if a certain extent of concession can be made. (最后一句漂亮)

In the first place (不是吧能不能换一个), it is not very difficult to point out that no one can actually eschew such a situation, where (when or that, 反正不是where) his/her beliefs are certain to be out-of-date, ungrounded, erroneous or even absurd (ones)(强，一连串的用词很有力). If he/she has not realized the underlying problems with his/her beliefs, presumably his/her insistence on them has its justification more or less (? 后半句？). However, when anyone else has explicitly revealed the erroneousness or absurdity in his/her beliefs, if that person is still unwilling to revise or abandon his/her stereotypes, then his/her perseverance will not be a virtue, but a vice. Newton stubbornly insisted on（？） his beliefs in（这里才是on） the existence of the God in his later life, no one says that that was in such a great man to do （？）. It was also in the same later life, by contrast, that Einstein compromised his belief partly to Bohr that light is made up of basic particles and to some extent absorbed Bohr’s idea that light is made up of waves. What Einstein lost was only an obsolete idea, but he gained a breakthrough in science exploring and obtained people’s respects. （两个例子都很好，但是没有说开来，可惜，中间的用词很精彩，但是砸在了句子结构上，更可惜，还有，想办法别写那么多his/her）

Furthermore, often one’s beliefs are concerned with individual interests（主语不太对头）. When this situation occurs, compromise at most times will give rise to an increase in total benefits to both controversial sides. For example, suppose that there is a factory believing that what is most important is to ensure its workers’ employment and payment, but citizens living nearby insist that their health shouldn’t be imperiled by waste discharging from that factory. If both sides stubbornly persist in their belief, never would the solving methods (solving method àsolution) come up and all their benefits (interests?) would be harmed. Instead, if they both concede (acknowledge) the justification of other standpoint and are prepared to make a concession, a more rational and fruitful outcome will ensue. （后边再加一点conclusive的东西啊）
Justification是justify的名词,应该用unjustifiableness（没有这个词）这种词

Last but not the least, compromise sometimes will conduce to improving （improvement） on original beliefs. In logics and mathematics, there is a powerful analyzing method named apagoge, which means that we can deduce what result we want by analyzing the necessary incorrect results from temporarily giving up original ideas. （例子好，说得不够明白）The effect of compromising one’s beliefs on the improvement of original ideas is similar to this method of apagoge. Through making a temporary compromise and thinking in the opposite direction, we will obtain many useful results unexpected with stubborn adherence, and ultimately help us find the undue in original beliefs, conducing to the proper improvement on them.

In conclusion, despite the importance of perseverance, unduly emphasizing it will transform a virtue into a vice. In many cases, making an appropriate concession is not only useful, but also necessary. (503 words)
我觉得中间有很多话还可以继续说，你再改改试试
后两段的论点好，第一段没有论点？可以说从追求真理的角度应该compromise. (这就是论点了)
