回答： (1)Jeremy Lin: graduated from Harvard University with an ecomonics major, Lin does not choose to work in a chamber in the Wall Street and take a high-paid and promising job as most of the economics major graduates dream to do. Rather, he insists on his goal since the childhood--to play in the NBA. Success lies in following what your heart tells you to do with no regards of what others usually do. Her mother allowed him to play the ball and did not push him to acadamic works as most of Asian mothers would do, because she believed what only the God and your heart can tell the right thing to do, and the public judgement may, more or less, weaken your independent will and make you live an ordinary life. If you want to play in NBA hard enough, then fight for it. (2)Bill Gates Bill Gates making his decision to drop out from Harvard is an appropriate instance. Now when we look back Gates successful experiences, we have to admit that his resolutely dropping out from Harvard a top university, and not even caring too much of the result is a bold and wise decision. What does it mean a man who can graduate from Harvard? It means, as everybody knows, a well earning job awaits you, and at least be a leaguer of middle class. Gates not only gave up a diploma of the world's No.1 university but also refused a designed bright future. I think Gate's reason is simple and clear. Because he noticed PC's rapid development in the future. According to long views, if Gates did not quit at that time, albeit I am sure there would be a operation system similar to MS-DOS and Windows today, probably neither Gates would be the richest man in the world, nor Microsoft was today's software giant.

回答： Young man is always unrealistic and fancys much, deviating themselves from the initial goals. long-term and realistic objective can provide us a big view of life, inhibit the impulse distracting us from the goal and help us to arrange our lives to achieve the goal. However, impulse, fancy and passion are indispensable parts of the youth, without which a 20-your-old may no longer be young. Unaffacted by the social tradition and customs, youth may always come up with creative ideas and view the world with a different vision. Mark Z on Facebook;Bill Gates on Microsoft; What is more, long-term goals may make us much more realistic and dare not achieve our dreams such as being a professional athletes which may be not as realistic as an office job. eg.Jeremy Lin

回答： Negative: attractive to especially young man who is more likely to be tempted. The young may be eluded by the immediate fame and success. Robinho, who is once regarded the next leader of the soccer team of Brazil, the once talented teenager, couldn't resist the fame and high pay, started his career in Europe, the center of professional soccer, when his will and physical condition are both not ready. Addicted to alcohol and nightlife in Europe, the talent has now become just a common player, way far from what is expected. Positive: Jeremy Lin, Mark Z, Bill Gates

回答： (1) Sometimes, they can be unified. To get the immediate fame and recognation is the first step to achive the long-term goal. eg.Kobe Bryant, the 1997 high school student, chose to go to NBA and played the All-Star game in the sophomore year. Those instant success made him more confident and hard-working to become the best in NBA, the long-term goal. (2) However, more often, the two are contradictory. As for those scearios about collge: To go to college or to get a paid job when family is at proverty;to go to the best college or to act in the movie Harry Potter;

回答： Both of the choices may lead to success or failure. There is no absolute answer for that dilemma: (1) follow your will and heart, ask what you truly want. Jeremy Lin. (2) people are getting realistic american dream ----to seize oppourtunity
