gmat作文范文(二).

“Too many people think only about getting results. The key to success, however, is to focus on the specific task at hand and not to worry about results.”

“太多的人只想到得到結(jié)果。成功的關(guān)鍵是注意手邊的特定事情而不擔(dān)心結(jié)果。”

你怎么看這句建議的意思，總的來說，你認(rèn)為它值得遵守嗎?從你自身的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，觀察和閱讀給出相關(guān)的原因and/or例子來支持你的觀點(diǎn)。

This advice means fundamentally that if we focus our attention on the details of a project rather than on the end product, the result will be better than if we proceed the other way around. Admittedly, this advice has some merit; by focusing on the details at hand one is less likely to become discouraged by the daunting or overwhelming tasks ahead in an ambitious project. Otherwise, however, I think this advice is poor,

The central problem with this advice is that focusing attention completely on the task at hand without rerence to how that task is related to the end product would be virtually impossible to do. The reason for this is simple. Without some rerence to a goal or a result we would have no idea of what task to perform in the first place. As a result, the various tasks we engage in would be somewhat random and, in turn, no matter how diligent and carul we were in performing them the likelihood of producing worthwhile or successful end products would be minimal.

To ensure good results, one should instead take a balanced approach to the task at hand. By a balanced approach I mean paying attention to both the desired result and the specific tasks that are required to achieve it. House building provides a good example of this approach. The house plan not only contains a rendering of the finished product but also contains detailed drawings and descriptions of each of the specific components required to ensure a successful result. Moreover, the order of the tasks is determined with rerence to this result. In my estimation, virtually all successful projects proceed in the fashion illustrated in this example.

In sum, I don’t think that the advice offered in the statement is worth following. In my view, following this advice is more likely to produce unsuccessful results than successful ones.
