essay - GMAT: Issue 30

Too many people think only about getting results. The key to success, however, is to focus on the specific task at hand and not to worry about results.

What do you think this piece of advice means, and do you think that it is, on the whole, worth following? Support your views with reasons and/or examples drawn from your own experience, observations, or reading.

Answer:
Althought it contains a certain level of truth, I disagree with the opinion that the key to success is to focus on the specific task on the spot and not to care about the result. The statement is oversimplified and ignores the importance of planning. I'll first show my opinion about the result, and then refute the opinion in serveral points.

The result should not be overstated, but at the same time, it should not be understated.
