------题目------
Too much emphasis is placed on role models. Instead of copying others, people should learn to think and act independently and thus make the choices that are best for them.
------正文------
In the long human history, quite a number of outstanding people appear in almost all areas.They set a good example for us. We should learn from them but at the same time we should alsoLearn to think and act independently and make the choices of our own.
To learn from role models helps us make progress both in spirit or in our devoted career. If we look back upon the human history, it is not difficult for us find so many examples as to give us strength when we are confronted with troubles. Helen Keller, a deaf and blind woman who enjoyed so little beauty of the world, struggled with the unfair fate and achieved great success. Stephen Hawking, paralyzed at his early age ,didn't give up to overcome the difficulties in his following days and make great contribution to the physics; Martin Luther King, born a negro and looked down upon at his times, become the leader in the fought for the liberty and the equality of the black man.
However, to learn from role models does not necessarily mean we should copy them. Instead, we should learn from their merit and essential virtue, and combine them into our own characters, because of the following reasons.
In the first place, to think and act independently is helpful to the variety of the world. No two persons have the same character. Everyone in the world have different personality which was formed in the process of their growing up. Different person was born in different families, undergoes different experience, has relation to different person around, thus is bound to behave and think differently. This also makes our world more colorful. If the people of the world all follow the actions of a limited number of the role models, it is easy to imagine that the world must become very dull and monotonous.
In the second place, only the decision made according to one's own experience and circumstance can have the best effect. we are often facing such problems as what major should I take, which company should I join in after graduation, which city should I choose to live in, and even who should I marry? The best one is the suitable one. Take one of my classmates for example, when he entered the university, he chose chemistry as his major, though at that time computer was very popular and Bill Gate was a role model then. We were all confused at his choice but he explained that he was interested in chemistry. Now, he is an outstanding student in his chosen field. He has published many articles in SCI .he gives speech in international conferences. The most important may be that he lives happily as he loves what he engages in. Therefore, when we are making decisions, we had better not follow role models, because after all we have different background and experience.
In sum, everybody is a unique creature. we are living in world because we are different from each other. Though we should learn from the role models, we should emphasize more on ourselves. |
