    The relationship between individuality and generality is an complexed issue for us to discuss. The statement refutes the common views in which people prefer individuality to generality and alleges that it is conformity that leads people to personal economic success. In my point of view, individuality and conformity are both beneficial for people to gain success in economic field. And it is not proper to take any of these two factors as superior to the other. I can discuss the benefits of individuality and conformity respectively.
    To begin with, there is no doubt that individuality plays a key role for people to get success in his personal economy. To conform principles or convention blindly or to do the same as other people do will definitely lead to failure. If some companies have found the same opportunity to invest a project, and if they all invest much money on it and provide the same products or services, another company who provides products or services with individuality which can appeal a certain amount of customs will definitely win the competition. In fact, all those companies that provides the same products or services have their own individuality without which they can not even survive in their field. For example, the Internet search engine provider Google and Yahoo both have their own position in market. Google provides knowledge for scholars or normal people and Yahoo prefer to offer recreational services to young people. They compete with their own individuality respectively to survive in this field and gain profit. We can take the CEO of Yahoo as two individuals. In this case, we can see that the success of both the two CEOs is due to their individualities but not conformity. No one can not be successful without a particular perspicuity in the economy field, that is a truth.
    To the opposite, individuality can not lead to success solely. There are some fundamental principles and conventions which must be conformed or failure will come. As we have all learned in middle school that price is influenced by the relationship between providing and need. If tomato harvest is high in a country, the price of it in vegetable markets will definitely low and investing much on tomato is not a profitable action. This is a simple example. If an investor ignores the principle of price and invests much money on tomato in this case, his failure of investment will come soon. Besides this principle of price, there are much more general principles to which businessmen should hew to closely or they will not be successful. Conventions of consume in a place must be conformed either. For instance, a boss can not provide Sushi, a Japanese food, to much in China because of the alimentary gap between the two countries. Much more examples can be presented to support that people should hew to some general principles and conventions to be successful in their personal economies.
    The best businessmen will definitely be those who conform general principles and conventions firmly and keep his own individuality to be competitive in business field. The statement only shows us the importance in conformity to personal economic success, but it is wrong to allege that conformity should be concerned more than individuality. The most proper action it to focus samely on both the two factors in economy field.
