People should insist his own challenging dream or emphasis on the value of the practical dream
When asked about that which is on earth of greater importance for individual, insisting on one’s own challenging dream or emphasizing the value of the practical dream when pursues goals, I get stunk because this is really a complex problem. As we all know that dream is to one what the foundation is to a skyscraper, with challenging dream one can constantly evaluate oneself to access to prefect, and with practical dream one can harvest enjoyable life without pressure. However, I have to admit that in the present situation, realistic life is an excellent attitude toward complicated and fast pace modern life. So in my view, the later one deserve us to wrap up. I would like to explain my standpoints in the follows.
To begin with, those people who hold the opinion that goals should be the challenging ones are contented with the social reputation and social pressure. On one hand, success is a significant symbol of status. Some people have a longing for highly celebration by working for complex endeavor and selecting challenging research to demonstrate them, so that they have a sense of accomplishment. On the other hand, it is no exaggeration to say that our modern society has been developing by leaps and bounds, which result in fierce competition and huge elite requirement. Workers want to be a manager, scholars expect to get professional position, as well as merchants aim to obtain monopoly. The person with conscious sense believes that one should promote him/herself to pursue complicated and challenging tasks, with continuous self-evaluation and self-stimulation, so that obtain success, or will be weed up by others.
However, compared with the challenging goals, the person with a practical expectation possesses much more enjoyable and relax life. First, there are enormous factors take into account for success. “Goals” in my heart, is satisfying job which can feed myself, a happy family and some intimate friends. It is practical goals make me feel success and satisfied but challenging ones. Second, as most practical dreams are easy to reach, we release us from the competitive work and intensive live pace to enjoy the life, build private hobbies such as playing piano or other instrument, even spare time with family members. Life is short, we should rather do some practical things than unreachable dreams, so that we will not regret at the end of our life.
Furthermore, the blind pursuits of challenging goals exert detrimental influence upon human, such as tense work and research is at expense of health and family. It is not uncommon that high strength causes person’s sudden death, especially complex technological tasks. Besides, in order to chase the high goals, some people diminish individuals’ leisure time to content family members. They seldom have time to company with lonely parents, to cultivate children, and to fulfill family’ responsibilities, the result of which is widely gap with families and friends. What’s more, long time works easily produce heavily psychological pressure, especially being afflicted by failure, which is go against to success.
In conclusion, considerable though the advantages that pursue challenging goals leads to are, they cannot compete with the benefits that chase practical goals brings about, when harvest enjoyable life without pressure and better heath is taken into consideration. So, in my view, practical and realistic goals should be supported to instead of exhausting challenging dream.
