Most people live, whether physically or morally, in a very restricted circle. They make use of a very limited portion of the resources available to them until they face a great problem or crisis.
------正文------
As the pace of living becomes faster and faster, it is a common phenomenon that most people live in a so restricted circle that they often only make use of a very limited portion of the resources. Although it seems too limited for people to live a happy life, I still support this kind of lifestyle for several reasons.

In the first place, as I mentioned in the beginning of this article, the fast pace of living makes people have not very much time to communicate with more friends or collegue. To catch up with the development of society, that is to say, to avoid falling behind others or even being laid off, people have to take their jobs during weekdays in an effective and effecient way which brings them much pressure and stress. Even after one-week work, a lot of people would like to have a rest at home instead of having a picnic outside with friends to relax themselves and prepare for the work of next week. This kind of lifestyle restricts people's living circle. Even worse, people cannot change it because of the requirements of making lives.

Moreover, I do not think the larger circle is better than the smaller one all the time. Take making friends for example, it is happier for people to have some real friends than to have so many friends that we can only have little time to communicate with every one of them. As the saying goes, "A friend in need is a friend in deed". When we trap into some dilemmas, only those real friends would like to help us sinserely without any intentions for money or interests. Even if the number of friends are not too many, we still have more chances to use of resources available than those who have lots of friends but without a loyal one. Meanwhile, from helping each other, we get the friendship which is one of the most cherishable things during one's life.

It seems true that if we have a very restricted circle, we can make use of a very limited portion of the resources available. But carful scrutiny would prove that the fact is not like the appearance. As we know that there is a shapeless primary during the numerous kinds of animals and plants, that is a primary of food. The animals on the higher location can benefit from the base of the primary. Similarly, there exists a shapeless net between people, although every one does not know too many persons, we can actually use the resources through our friends' resources and even more steps during the course of solving problem or crisis.

Admittedly, too restricted circle is not good for us. If a person would not like to communicate with others except a few friends, he would fail to be welcomed by the public, who think that he is a person hard to get along with. In this case, any of his opinions or achievements can hardly be accepted by the public because of the bias.

In sum, the lifestyle of persons to live only in a very restricted circle is the result of the rapid development of the technology and more serious competition in society. The number of  people we get along with does not stand for the limited portion of the resources we could use. The only thing we should do is to communicate with our friends and other people we know if we have free time to keep the relationship.

In this letter, the manager recommends the band hire Ad Lib to deplicate the Megelopolis ad campaign on a nationwide scale in order to ensure that the band's success in Megalopolis is repeated across the country. To support this recommendation, the manager cites the fact that the 30,000 tickets for a recent concert of Double Rice were sold out quickly which was the result both of the band's popularity and of the advertising campaign run by the Ad Lib advertising agency. However, this recommendation is based on several logical fallacies that make it unconvincing as it stands.

First, the manager compares the situation of the recent concert with the ones hold before one year to illustrate the success of Double Rice. However, the manager does not pay attention to the possiblility that one year ago, there were also some areas where sold the tickets as fast as the recent concert hold in Megalopolis did. In this case, we cannot be persuaded from one concert’s success to draw the conclusion that the band are more popular now than one year ago. It is possible that if Double Rice holds concerts in other cities, the conditions are not better than the average condition before one year.

Secondly, the manager assumes that the ticket sales in Megalopolis are a result both of the band's increased popularity and of the advertising campaign run by the Ad Lib advertising agency. But he provides no evidence to prove the causal relation between the hot sales and the advertising campaign. It is possible that these two affairs just happened at the same time and had no relations at all. And which leads to the success of selling tickets is probably the attracting content of the concert.

Finally, even if the advertising campaign run in Megalopolis really brought about the success of the concert. The manager cannot draw the conclusion that this advertising campaign can attract the people's attention across the country. Only by the reaction of the people in Megalopolis, we cannot adumbrate that it will be successful if the band hires Ad Lib to duplicate ad campaign on a nationwide scale. It is possible that the people in other areas are not interesting with this kinds of advertisements at all. Put it simply, the manager makes a mistake in drawing the conclusion too hastily and without any carefully thinking.

In conclusion, to convince the band to take the recommendation, the manager needs to provide more evidence about the reasons for which the concert of the band won success in Megalopolis. More information is needed to show that if Ad Lib duplicates the Megalopolis ad campaign on a nationwide scale, Double Rice would win the similar success across the country.
