2.5 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? For future career success, is relate well to other people more important than studying hard at school?
As an old saying that the success of a prodigy should be owed to ninety-nine percent of hardworking and only one percent of individual's intelligence and helping from outside. Therefore, I agree with the statement that future career success is more related to studying hard at school than the helping of others.
To begin with, it is indisputable that we could cultivate a good learning skill by hardworking at school. Take tycoon Li Jiachen, the successful businessman in Hong Kong, for example. In one of his interview, he said that he contributed his success to the effort he paid off at school. It was at school that he learned how to think independently. In his spare time at school, he spent all his time in reading the economic essays he was interested in. Because of his hardworking, he gained a trainee opportunity in the investment bank as a good threshold, thus leading he to he great success in his career. From this case, it is obvious that hardworking at school is an indispensable factor for a successful businessman.
Furthermore, it is our school that taught us sorts of basic academic knowledge. Hence, it is undoubted that the career success needs such knowledge which should be attained by hardworking at school. Take a successful woman Yanlan in China for another instance. When she studied abroad in Columbia University, she wanted to learn the professional knowledge on mass communication and media. It is the academic courses in Columbia University that help her built her own media company in her career. In Columbia University, she also concentrated in studying rather than went out of campus to view the scenery in New York. Without hardworking, she couldn't be an outstanding graduator and master sophistic skill in mass communication field. So, she believes that the opportunity is only prepared for the person who is hardworking and skillful.
Finally, we had to admit that the helping from others also will have positive impact on our success. However, the virtues of helping from others couldn't preponderate the benefit brought by hardworking at school. There’s a vivid case. While hunting a job, a person has a recommendation from a famous professor will have competitive edge when compared with a normal person. But comparing with a hardworking person, he would still be less competitive to win the success.
Judging from what I mentioned above, the hardworking spirit cultivated at school and basic academic knowledge taught by professors are essential factors for people to win success. Those factors play a more superior role than the factor of gaining help from others. |
