issue99. "In any realm of life-whether academic, social, business, or political-the only way to succeed is to take a practical, rather than an idealistic, point of view. Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options."

在生活的各个领域-无论是学术、社会、商业还是政治-成功的唯一途径就是采取实际而并非理想化的观点。注重实效的行为确保生存，而理想化的观点倾向于被更简单、更直接的选择取代。


Nowadays it is so fashionable to emphasize productiveity and results: if it works, adopt it, adapt it, and do it. Most people thereby worship pragmatism and believe that the only way to succeed is take the practical approach and that idealistic views are likely to be replaced by more immediate options. While I agree that pragmatic behavior is a must for survival and the key factor for realizing idealistic vision and dreams, there is a serious danger in this approach. The simple fact that something works does not make it right.Also, only focusing on the immediate effects might lead to a bigger failure in the future.

To begin with, the chief weakness of pragmatic approach lies in its overemphasis on the immediate effects. What is practical is defined by what works. What works is defined by the results we see right now, Apparently, what works does not necessarily mean that it is right. Consider, for instance, a student who gain a high score by cheating. Obviously, cheating is wrong although it works. For businessmen, no doubt their responsibility is to increase their profit margin n.利润率. Yet hiring child labour is illegal, although it might reduce the labor cost and increase the profit.What a pathetic sight to see godly people give up the gold of principle for the glass beads of pragmatism. The serious moral degradation in modern China well demonstrates this point.  On the contrary,Idealists would choose to sticke to priciple without a practical consideration. For them, freedom, democracy  and justice shoud be worth of pursuing at whatever cost. They never compromise even it is unfeasible. However, a pretty awesome reality requires the art of compromise: striking a balance between what is right and what "works".

Moreover, too much exphasis on practical access will hamper us from seeing the long-term interest and attaining a higher level of success.  Immidiate benefits become a measure to evaluate pragmatic behavior. Such shorted-sight behavior forms a barrier of social improvement and advancement. In the economic field, pragmatic businessman brought us the likes of Enron and their ilk, which focused solely on maximizing short-term profits, and fostered a culture of unbridled greed, regardless of the impact on their employees, customers and the public good. By contrast, far-sighted enterprise owners admit that while profitability is a key goal (as with any business), it is not the only goal.They intentionally, and with full awareness, sacrifice a portion of profit margin for big-vision, right-livelihood practices they deem important — such as being ethical, respectful, and offering something positive, unique, and worthwhile to their employees, customers, community or the world.

However, idealistic views cannot come true without taking any pragmatic behavior. Confucius, one of the greatest philosophers and educators in ancient China once said:" Thinking all day without taking any actions end up with nothing." It is well known that idealists have always been guided by ideals, rather than by practical consideration. Therefore, they mistakenly discern the true condition , overstate their ability and neglect the many obstacles on the way to the goal. The only feasible way is to crystallize one's ideals into a practical plan. Step by step, even through the efforts of several generations, the ideals can become reality.

The only way to achieve victory is combine pragmatic behavior and idealistic views.  An ideal is like true North on a compass, and it serves a valuable function whether or not true North (the ideal) can be reached. The virtue of Idealists is their continual striving for betterment.Socially speaking, it was always the prophet, the seer, the idealist, who dreamed of a world more to his heart’s desire and who served as the beacon light on the road tp greater achievement. And then the next step is to take a concreate action. Without practical action, success is still like the moon in the water.

In conclusion, pragmatism may be a good copilot, but it is an unsafe and dangerous pilot.  The true success requires the cooperation of pragmatism and idealism. Ideal acts as a blueprint; and practical behavior is like builder. Only the two work hand in hand can the skyscraper come into existence.(697words)

Better put like this:it is dangerous to adhere to this approach blindly. The simplemere fact that something works does notnecessarily make it right. Also, only focusing on the immediate effects might lead to a bigger failure in the future. 开头不错，清楚明白

Despite spelling errors and grammar flaws, I give this issue a benchmark of 5.5 without hesitation.

:--),thanks a lot!
其实这道提太经典拉,所以写作的头天晚上躺在床上想了好久.也算打了腹稿.
还有不好意思我的word 坏拉都没检查拼写,哎错这么多,考试时就死定了.好多单词居然都错了.~~~
还有我还是超时了20min.限时还是没成功.下一片写laws and human nature,争取成功.

To 狒狒:
ts说过分注重实际导致短视~~~之后就开始讲短视的负效应，这之中是不是缺少“为什么导致短视，如何导致短视的？之间有没有必然性？”
第一个body 里有"What works is defined by the results we see right now"这句话表明实用主义看重的是直接的效果,因此没必要说明为什么会短视把

pragmatic behavior is a must for survival
must 没用错


极端的例子带来的往往是unconvincing
I think so too, 但是确实想不道好的例证,你有什么好点子吗?

there is a serious danger in this approach这个句子？.
Is there any problem? I don't understand what you mean.

实用主义看重的是直接效果，这是个推论阿~~并不是公认的~~
所以仍然需要说明

must这里是名词吗？有这个说法？

这个例证~~~挺FT~我想出来的话在第一贴里就给你写上了

最后那个句子没看懂~~水平有限哦~~

papajohnsUID: 127722

To syd:
1 There is a serious danger in this approach. danger 在于后面那句。
2What is practical is defined by what works。 What works is defined by the results we see right now.这里是句号。与后面那句分开。所以不需要改了。你认为呢？
3classic, your original creation?不是原创，是我看到的文章里的一句，觉得好就背下来了。
4这句话是不是放到后面说，冲淡了主题，这一段的FOCUS是实用主义的人。考虑把第一段的结尾放入这一段

I accept your suggestion,but it seems to be inconsistent with the para three(主体段)
5 in addition, my logic is sooooo poor, how to improve it ?~~~~~~~~~

Here, must 是名词.绝对没错.相信我,没错的,呵呵~~~~
last sentence 意思是在这个 approach存在着危险,不知道说明白了吗?

5 in addition, my logic is sooooo poor, how to improve it ?~~~~~~~~~

that's a problem, or you should cast that sentence for the consistency of the whole para.

and for logic, I think set about to argument practise will be quite beneficial.
