提纲：1、开头：部分同意作者观点，追求个人兴趣和为社会贡献同样重要。
      2、兴趣是努力的动力，人们做自己喜欢的事情时会更有动力。
      3、个人兴趣的追求应和社会利益相符，不是妨碍公众利益。
      4、为社会服务的人也非常重要，很多人是这样做出重大贡献的。
      5、总结：适度的追求个人兴趣可以造福于社会，但不可以忽略为社会服务的重要性。

Are people who pursue their own intellectual interests for purely personal reasons more likely to benefit the rest of the world than people who try to act for the public good, as speaker asserts? In a sense, I tend to agree that people who pursue personal intellectual interests modestly plays an important role in benefiting the world. However, the speaker begs question by overlooking the crucial effect of people that act for the public good and unfairly giving them a second priority. In my point of view, both of the two are critical to our world's benefits, and an all-sided consideration is needed when deciding the precedence.

To begin with, by human nature we are motivated to pursue activities which we are excel though it may be a process with a lot of difficulties. To compel people to focus their intellectual interests on certain assigned areas would be to force many to waste their true talents, whereas pursuing their own intellectual interests may bring their talents into play and make great success. Extreme example involve Beethoven, who is one of the greatest musicians in the history, as we knowing has left much classics to us which only resorted to his clinging to music even if he is almost a deaf. So it is more efficient when people do something that he is interested in which will tend to benefit the rest of the world.

Nevertheless, pursuing one's own intellectual interests for purely personal reasons that will benefit the world is based on modest pursuing but not excessive. And one's personal intellectual interests should be consistent with the laws and morality of the world but not go against the society at the same time. And that may be the reason why it is dangerous when intellectual pursuits are worthwhile to a handful of regulators. The Soviet governments in the 1920s during which no significant scientific advance occurred when the regulator attempts to implement thoughts control and political oppression will be a good example. Science is the same beside politics just like the controversy of cloning which goes against the moral standard of the society. Pursuits of personal intellectual interests will do well to the world only if it will not impede behooves of the public, or, it may harm but not benefit the world.

Moreover, people who try to act for the public good are also important to benefit the world too. It is these persons who contribute themselves to our society make the world so well-organized like today. As Martin Luther King, the famous leader of the Campaign of Civil Rights for Black in the United States, and Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of America who led the Union during the Civil War and emancipated slaves in the South. Without these people who fights for the good of public, our society may not be develop so quickly and full of inequity all the same. From this viewpoint, people who try to act for the public good, maybe in different aspects, are equal important in benefit the world to benefit the world.

To sum up, I concede that people pursue one's personal intellectual interests modestly are likely to benefit the world, but people who try to act for the public good cannot be overlooked. The combination of the two will make our society better.
