1013
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.
