Success is the ultimate goal that people will exert themselves to achieve. As an increasing number of people begin to discuss the key factors of being successful, some individuals start to hesitate whether ones should behave more like others in order to success. Surprisingly, some individuals claim that being successful requires ones to be distinctive from others rather than be similar with others. From my perspective, however, to meet with success, people should be, instead of different from others, more like others, for fewer chances of being isolated from others and higher possibility to make friends.
To begin with, those who are different from others are usually perceived as weir people and thus are easily isolated from others. There a few people, who wear strange clothes and behave distinctively, around us. And one most obvious common they share is that people are rarely be close to them or even communicate with them. One good case in point is my high school classmate James. When he was in high school, he often worn some unusual clothes while others tended to have uniform. Besides, sometimes he could keep silence whole day even when some others asked him questions. After a while, there is no one in my class who are willing to talk with him. Therefore, being distinctive from others will readily make ones isolated while being more like others will not.
In addition to fewer chances of isolation from group, similarity with surrounding people equip ones the ability to make more friends, the consequence of which is that these people are able to gain more helps in the process of achieving success. It has been said that people sharing similar interests, beliefs, religions are more likely to bridge a friendship. For example, most friends of mine, like Bob, Tim, Jenny, share more or less same interests with me. Bob became my friend due to our love of basketball; Tim and I are both enthusiastic about English; Jenny is a big fan of swimmings, so am I. And it is those friend who offer ones great helps and opportunities in the way toward success. For instance, with the help of Samon and Tom, Mark Zurkberg created Facebook, one of the most popular social network now, and became the youngest millionaire in the world. Accordingly, the similarity with others will no doubt enable ones to make more friends, leading ones to meet with success more easily.
However, some people may not think in the same way. Perhaps they will argue that there are some cases that ones are completely distinctive from others and succeed in the end. It can be seen from the fact that Mark Zrukberg, who do not like most others and is considered as a weird, quiet nerd in college, finally became the CEO of Facebook. However, those cases remains a very tiny fraction of the whole and thus is not representative of the whole situation, which lead me return to to my point that one behaving like others are more likely to succeed.
To sum up, although few cases showing that one may succeed with distinctive behavior from others, given the fewer chances of suffering from isolation and higher likelihood of making more friends, in order to achieve success, ones would better be more like others. |
