Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experiences or observations. # c' d/ _3 d `5 ` I+ }2 v V' e+ W4 d- |' F" i I agree partially with the idea that each new success leads to new and more difficult problems as there is some element of truth in it. This is indeed an interesting insight about success and may be viewed differently from different points of view. From my view, I feel that the idea is interesting which have some philosophy within.2 B. W+ w( k, x7 m) Y
6 N r$ O. ?5 b6 v" d( q" ^For me, I feel that it is true to say that success leads to discovery and opens up ore possibilities. I am quite sure that the path after success is of greater challenge and difficult problems are sure to be encountered. From history, there are various examples about the success route of great figures that seemingly prove the point. Since ancient time in Europe, there is Alexander the Great from Macedonia. Alexander the Great started his conquest of Europe since young and soon was building a huge empire beyond mortal’s imagination. The point here as seen from the remarkable life of Alexander is , for each of his successful conquest, more challenging battlefields lie ahead as un-chartered territories appear which are far from homeland. Therefore, the saying suggesting that new success opens a never-ending challenging path ahead for us to conquer is proven here. 3 q. ?0 x# ?7 X& \7 X+ P1 |0 C$ r0 K7 R0 j For the great scientists or any profession that requires experiment, the idea is of great truth to them. Al experiments start out small with a hypothesis, perhaps from a science experimental project in the school’s laboratory. After the hypothesis is proven and some degree of success is achieved, the path beyond has surely opened up for us to explore. The legend about Darwin is a great example. Each new success is always small enough to open up bigger problems for us to achieve greater success. Darwin started off by observing the smallest creatures, insects and flowers in the surrounding. Each successful discovery will surely mean greater challenge ahead for him. His small success each time finally builds up to allow him to come up with great evolution theory.
