People, not only the youngsters, always face the dilemma: whether to trudge lonlely on the long, long road towards the illusory "bright" future, or just respond accordingly to our egos (that is, present pleasure brought by immediate fame or recognition from the society). After all, neither can we go backwards or retry as in a game if failed, nor possess that magic power to foresee the future to examine whether our choice is political .  Considering that it's nature for anyone, especially for premature adolescents, to get largely determined by immediate praise from environments, our education should focus more on encouraging young people to defer gratifications for long-term goals. However, such encouragement does not mean that long-term goals are always better than immediate fames, in fact, it's not the endless pursuing nor present pleasure itself but whether they represent our intrinsic desires matters. Therefore, we have to cultivate youngster's impulse controlling ability, and encourage them to listen to their inner hearts when making choices in such either-or situations Given the instinctive recognition-chasing ability, we learn how to behave appropriately in this complex society after born. Mother's smile, teacher's praise, peer's recognition, respecter's approval, and fame or glory from the society, are all powerful positive instincts to move us on when we grow up, assuring us distinguish immediately between dangerous and beneficial,  crude and elegance, and ignorant and intellectual. Thus, the need to be loved, which deeply lies in our minds and impels us to chase for immediate recognition,if appropriately applied by instructors, will help us acquire norms, knowledge, as well as positive personalities to adapt to this society when grown up. However, in many cases, ego-resilience is more inportant than recognition-chasing, as any of us cannot build Rome in a day. It's very easy for us to remind of a successful celebrity who pursued long-term dreams instead of immediate fames: Bill Gates gave up his easy-to-obtain degree for his Microsoft career and finally became world's wealthist; Jerrimy Lin gave up generous salaries in Walt Street but pursued his MBA player dream and eventually became the first Asian-American MBA star who graduated from Harvard. Both the inspiring stories tell us that achivements may require long-time endurance and also the ability to wait in order to obtain one's want, called "referred gratification", which has been demonstrated by the famous psychologist Walter Mischel that has positive relationship with academic performances.  Though it's necessary to cultivate "referred gratification" ability in case that we may face prolonged endurance before achievements, rejecting any possible immediate fames is unnecessary. In weighing immediate and long-range interest, intrinsic desire should play as an effective criteria. Take my career planning as an example: I want to be an instructive scholar in the future, but such long-term dream never requires me to give up all immediate fames, instead I can take advantage of many research programs or researching skill competitions offered to graduate students, to improve my abilities to carry out a real research program in the future. Thus, we can make immediate-fame- chasing as a step of long-term goals pursuing. To sum up, we all prefer to lead a successful and happy life. In order to realize it, we have to listen to our inner hearts over and over before making any decision. Before weighing immediate and long-range interests in the real situations based on inner interests, youngsters should be cultivated both abilities to identify their inner desire and to control egos for immediate fames.
