When asked about whether it is easier to achieve success in the past, quite a few people may stick to the point that people living in the past is much more likely to succeed, nevertheless, others hold the opposite view and this is also my point. I am incline to the latter owning to not only the better education but also the much advanced information and technology system as well as the booming economy.
First and foremost, education in today improves considerably. There is no denying the fact that so vital and dispensable a role that education plays on one's way to success. It is education that equips people with knowledge and endows humans with wisdom.Nevertheless, it is as clear as day light that current education is far superior to that in the past. Firstly, the quality of education has enhanced remarkably. Nowadays, we have much more knowledgeable and experienced teachers who are experts in the relevant field as well as mastering more excellent psychological methods to make their theory to be readily assimilated and absorbed. For instance, a majority of present teachers graduated from universities and received systematic education ranging from their majors to pedagogy. Better approaches employed by these elite teachers will ensure students grasp academic subjects well. Secondly, the opportunities for students to obtain education are multiplied. Education is becoming increasingly prevalent, and consequently, it is rather easier for people to have an valuable access to education, especially those in rural areas. Few children in barren land managed to learn knowledge, however, kids in these area can be guaranteed with education at large, at least the nine year's compulsory education. In short, today's outstanding and popular education overshadows the past's low level and less massive one, which definitely serves as a catalyst for our future success.
Of equal significance is the fact that we now live in a marvelous era, an era teeming with innumerable priceless information and state of art technology, which is available and accessible without much effort. An apt example is like this: one can research any vocations he craves for on the internet all around the world and is able to send his applications to diverse firms simultaneously. Imagine that without the assist of internet which provides convenient information and is based on developed technology, how less choices that poor man could select and how low the rate that he was fortunate enough to be employed, and how tough for he to acquire success, particularly if he was not so eminent and talented in his field.
Further lending credence to my position is the fact that economy have progressed a lot. It is reported that the GDP in China is more than five times as the one 20 years ago. The prosperous economy, thankfully, creates brand new and innovative careers such as people whose work is tasting candies and people who beatify pets as well as produces enormous demand for staffs. A variety of occupations waiting for us, and therefore there is no exaggeration to say that it is much easier for us to success nowadays.
Admittedly, there are some merits in the old days, namely, fewer fierce competitions, less stress and so forth, which is disputable to be less arduous and painstaking for individuals to fulfill their triumph. However, considering the unrivaled and unparallel advantages of brilliant education, awesome information and technology system and vibrant economy, the present still outweighs the past. Therefore, I reinforce my standpoint that it is easier to succeed at current. |
