We are living in a winner-takes-all world. When we were children, the parents and the society would judge us by the grade. The better rank you had in the class, the more attention you got. However, to win everything is not always a good idea. One who knows to compromise is more adaptable than one who tries to win, because compromise can serve as a mediator to settle down issues and compromise helps prosper the world.
First of all, compromise is an effective mediator. We all know that two world wars were mainly based on the misunderstanding. In order to settle issue down before it becomes serious, U.N., the best example of compromise was set up. The presentations from every nation are able to get together, discuss the touchy problems and think about what should be the best solution. Although some say U.N. doesn’t work very well, it, at least, provides a platform there. An organization that encourages to compromise is necessary for not leading all people into another world war.
In addition to playing the role of the mediator, to compromise, especially for business, can generate much welfare for human. If you want to buy a new DVD player, you will discover the format of DVD is chaos. DVD+R and DVD-R, promoted by different companies respectively, confused every customer. It makes no sense that I have to purchase two DVD players to watch all DVDs. The companies should sit down at the table and see what they can do to compromise with each other and launch only one format to the market. Not only is one format more convenient to customers, but one format is also easier for development. Engineers can concentrate on one technology and save much time and money. Therefore, the world will prosper at the double speed.
In conclusion, some prefer to win, but the ultimate solution is to compromise, because it is not possible to beat every person. What’s more, to compromise is the most effective way to eliminate disputes and advance technology in a faster way. Therefore, learning to compromise, rather than to win, is important for leaders.

"All citizens should be required to perform a specified amount of public service. Such service would benefit not only the country as a whole but also the individual participants."Discuss the extent to which you agree or disagree with the opinion stated above. Support your views with reasons and/or examples from your own experience, observations, or reading.
We are delighted when other people do us a favor. [There is no one who will not be delighted when other people do him a favor.] Therefore, I agree the statement that all citizens should be required to perform a specified amount of public service. In my point of view, to perform such service would benefit the nation, as well as the participants in virtue of enhancing the nation identification and leading the world to a better tomorrow.
First of all, to pay military service is a good way to develop a noble thought that all of us are in the same boat and we should defend the country away from invaders. I believe that patriotism will be aroused during the time and last to the rest of the life. Each year in the World Beauty Contest, beauties from Israel put on the military uniform as their traditional apparel because they believe Israel will exist only on the military power. Each Israeli, male and female, is obligatory to join the army and undergo the severe military training. No wonder Israelis are considered to be the most united nation.
In addition to unite all citizen, to perform public service can help preserve our environment. If each citizen is assigned an area and ordered to take care of it, our environment, I think, will be much clearer. What’s more, the government is no longer waste money on hiring labors. The environment is protected and money is saved. It is a win-win policy!
In conclusion, I agree that individuals should take part in public services. Although some might say to perform those services wastes time, the advantages outweigh disadvantages. The world will be better only by the efforts from each of us.
