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 Pragmatic behavior guarantees survival, whereas idealistic views tend to be superceded by simpler, more immediate options."

Regarded as the only way to succeed, practical views are much more highly valued than idealistic views in today's society. Being practical might be effective in bringing us success immediately, however, it could not be the sufficient reason for us to deny the significant role idealistic views plays in long-term development.
Pragmatic behavior could lead us to be successful, to live a better life, or at least to survive in the society, in which the major opinion about success is being wealthy or making a great contribution in the foreseeable future. Living in this world, people always care about how to get a high-paid job, how to earn more money, how to get a good reputation, for all of these can reflect a person's living condition as well as his social status. In this situation, only when people hold a practical perspective, can they see the right way to the goal at first glance. Also, with the pragmatic behavior, one can become much more efficient not only in gaining money but also in researching because he or she can rapidly get information about the demands of the society, finding the right way to go. Just as what happened in the field of physics, in the practical point of view, more and more scientists tend to deal with problems about the application of a certain theory instead of the Final Theory like the Big Bang Theory or some other profound theory themselves. Doing this, they can get more payback rather than staying in the lab, facing a mass of complex equations, and at last solving nothing but living in a poor life. Thus, those who are wisely enough to turn to the practical thoughts earn not only money but also fame, being remembered for a long time, while most of the idealistic view holders just live nameless till death unless something discovered.
But lacking of idealistic view may stop us from going further in the mental world, where practical view could do nothing but only narrow the scope. Paying too much attention on the pragmatic behaviors, one may fail to see the beautiful scenery of the mental world, but only focusing on the conflict of the interests distribution. It would be a great pity if this kind of things happened, a pity that one fail to enjoy a colorful and a much more meaningful life.
Not only overrating the value of practice views and completely ignoring the importance of idealistic opinions might limit our horizon, but it may also result in stopping further development of the society and missing a much more beautiful future. Though realistic thoughts can contribute to the short-term interest, in some realm that further research is needed, this kind of viewpoint may only be resistance, because in practical viewpoint, investment may just be a waste of money and human resources. Taking consideration about the academic fields, if no investment is made, no further long-term research could be in plan. But the potential significant theory can only be found through these kind of investment. In this aspect, idealistic view is also essential to the development of society, may be much more necessary when we want to change our society or our knowledge about the world profoundly.
Without idealistic point of view, the development of our human beings may not go any further, not mention to accelerate the development of economy and some other realm of life. What we need to do might not be give the practical opinion priority or forsake the idealistic view, but to find a balance between them. Both of them are valuable. Only when we treat this two kind of viewpoints advisable, can we really succeed in the long-term.
