188″Success, whether academic or professional, involves an ability to survive in a new environment and, eventually, to change it.”
What the speaker says is just what I believe in. Success, defined as the achievment of one’s aim or goal, to some extent, is the adaptation and variation to the environment that have ever experienced, whether academic or profsssional. At the very beginning, the contention of ‘new environment’ ought to be defined. To attempting to avoid the narrow view, the environment should involve that both material and spirite. like human relation, professional field and even the offence of present view of moral. And we also have to accept that as the aim was made, the conditions of ourselves have changed, on account of rising initivation, invisible barrier.or some other reasons.
Admittedly, the succes in our daily life seems that have little about suvival in a new environment or even changing it. Nevetheless, such feeling is likely to be an illusion, for the new environment is not so obviously to realize as it always be masked by the tempting to more strongly perceive the status that we are in. For instance, we are more likely to ignore the lightly variation such as age in our lifes. Seldom can we distinguish what we like yeterday and today. That is to say, the changing and adapatation tuely exist , though it is hard to be awared.
As it stands, the threshold problem involves that it is neccesary to survive on facing the fresh condition if some one is willing to reach his goal. Whenever the survival should be given the priority, which obey the Nature Selection. The adapation is to success what roots to the tree. Eventually, to change the environment is just the inevitable step when we are facing the problem caused by those goals against the current situation.To demonstrate my opinion , the example is provided as follows.
Harvey Milk,an American politician who became the first openly gay man to be elected to public office in California, exerted a profound influence on American Politican, and also became the landmark of the compaign of gay’s rights! Harvey Milk is abosolutrly successful, though his politician career is short. Making a general view of his life, we may realized of that all he want is to change the concept of homesexual in whole americans’ mind. And he did it. Facing the enomous pressure from the society, even the threats by those belived in the guity of gay’s, he survived without giving his faith up. At last, he actually succeed to strike the stubborn view that rooted in mind for hundreds of years.It force us to approval that the ablity to survive and changing the new environment leads to success.
Thus, the speaker’s assertion is reasonable. And what we need is to learn to adapting the plight, whether slight or severe, then try to make it difference. That is the way to success.
