a bit off the subject
If a goal is worthy, then any means taken to attain it is justifiable.
Whether a goal is worthy for oneself or for society is a key cut-in for this issue
Is it really justifiable to take any means to attain a goal that is thought to be worthy, as the speaker assert? I concede that many measures needed to be tried to achieve success, however, in my point of view, it is to some extent too unreasonable to acknowledge the authenticity of every means of achieving a goal.
To begin with, common sense tell us that if a goal is really worthy, we would try out best and work hard to attain it since only in this way can we gradually get closer to the final goal. In this process people could get a broad perspective and comprehensive apprehension of their work and also could derive profound understanding of the final goal. Furthermore, ceaseless try would ultimately provide the right approach to success or at least could serve as useful guidance for people. When we refer to history, we could see that a variety of tries were needed to attain a significant breakthrough or invention or a new theory. The famous inventor Edison, for instance, had gone through thousands of failures in the process of the great invention--light bulb. However, he kept on trying and take perhaps every means he could to attain the goal, which finally, under his hardworking, a appropriate material was found for the filament of light bulb. In other words, hardworking and ceaseless tries are indispensable for attaining a goal.
What about citing examples which are successes of taking every means ?(point out meams as many as possible instead of just saying they have taken. It may be more convincing)
However, it is not to say that every means is justifiable since the side effect and others' interests should not be neglected at all. On the one hand, a comparison between its side effect and goal is needed to make people have a clear understanding of the practicability of these means and whether they are really worth of a try. For instance, effective losing weight perhaps is a dream for every out-weighted people since exceeding weight really is not convenient for everyday life and more or less is not pretty. Yet some people tend to eat less and even more, sleep less to attain this goal. Nevertheless, perhaps it is an efficient way to lose weight considerably, it does have egregious harmful effects on people's healthy in that many disease of vital harm such as heart disease would arise from such a way of losing weight. Obviously, it is not an appropriate approach to a slender figure.
On the other hand, we should also take into account of others' interests. Perhaps to erect factories of heavy industry is indeed a beneficial access to economic prosperity of a small town which would undoubtedly lead to the flourish of the whole town. But, in another perspective, such means of erecting factories of heavy industry could serve as a pollution source which would lead to heavy level of water pollution and air pollution of the whole state and the interests of the majority is greatly violated. Thus others' interests are especially needed to be taken into account.
To sum up, hard work and various tries is obviously indispensable to attain a goal. Yet, however, we should also consider the side effect of every means as well as take others' interests into account. |
