Issue 029

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.

正文：

On the way to success, which factor contributes more, to focus on the specific task at hand or to only think about the final results? Some people may say that the key to success is to focus on the details of the project rather than to worry about results. Although this claim is not wholly insupportable, however, in my view, it will be more effective to focus on the task at hand and not to ignore the end product.

To begin with, to pay more attention on the task at hand can make people more surefooted. It is impossible for people to accomplish what they desire without focusing on the process. And in the meantime, an ideal result comprises a well-planned process. We can learn from the experience of the great inventor Thomas Alva Edison that the step-by-step completion of every task is a precursor to success. The voluminous personal papers of Thomas Edison reveal that his inventions typically did not spring to life in a flash of thinking but evolved slowly from the every previous hard work. Over-commitment to the result may lead people to nowhere but despair. Consequently, it is wise to be devoted to every individual task to ensure good result.

In addition, concerning the task at hand will lead people to perform the task better. The more specific the work is, the better will it be carried out. To be specific, a company manager often divides the final target into several sub-targets as an efficient way to make perfect the details of every task. As long as every task can be performed effectively, a successful result itself will naturally come out.

On the other hand, it is admitted that if we only focus on the details and ignore the final results, engagement in the task will lack systematic and will be somewhat random. Without reference to the final goal, we would have no idea of what task to perform in the first place or of what extent to complete the task to, thereby wasting time and energy in the process, which means that no matter how diligent and careful we were in performing them the likelihood of producing worthwhile or successful target would be minimal. Many cases have shown us that it will be a better way to take a balanced approach to every task at hand.

In the final analysis, neglect to the final results will cast a shadow on the way to success. By focusing on the task at hand with reference to the end result, people can achieve what they pursue.

我知道sacrati的意思是想不完全反对也不完全接受，可是结合下面几段文字来看，你的思路有些混乱...按理说，在首段末尾提出的观点是你的主要观点，需要加强论述。而粉色字给人感觉，主要论述方向是not to ignore the end product.  你主要是想强调end product的重要，是在反对原文。（蓝色字是赞同原文）可是在下面论述中，二三段是赞同段落，四是让步的反对，感觉重点在赞同上...这样有些不大舒服...可能会不符合思维习惯，建议把首段几句话的顺序改一下...

感觉这里用paying比不定式to do 好

最后一句，我不大明白起什么作用，最好有具体的例子吧...不然就是insufficient data了...

In the final analysis, neglect to the final results will cast a shadow on the way to success. By focusing on the task at hand with reference to the end result, people can achieve what they pursue.

neglect后接的介词好像是of 吧...最后一句话稍显简短，最好加上achieve what they pursue and...比如说get a final successful ending之类的。不然有点意犹未尽...嘻嘻，个人感觉而已。

不错了...呵呵，碰上变态的题目确实会没有思路，但一定不要慌张。

说说我考试前一天的乌鸦嘴吧。我和我同宿舍的mm都是28号考g,前一天晚上我和她说，ai最变态的两道题目就是“广告体现国家意志”题和“建筑反映社会形态”题...我只求不要抽到这两题就好了...她nod...

第二天，我就发现我的电脑屏幕上赫然出现了建筑题~~狂晕...完全没准备这题...没思路，最主要的是我单词量少，想说东西方文化差异，还不知道那些著名建筑怎么拼写...寒！！可最主要的还是镇定，我还是按照我的模版步骤写，最后好死不死的弄了个香港中环的中国银行大楼做例子...自己觉得完成的还不错...

考完出来后碰到宿舍mm,她二话不说骂我乌鸦嘴...原来她碰到了广告体现国家意志题...我狂晕！！！怎么会这样...

呵呵，说出来一笑而已...最主要劝大家不要太固执于一题一文的得失，最主要的是把握ets的喜好，积累闪光句型，即使没有思路，也可以比较顺利的完成答卷。
