Past always gives us the good guide to the future. People who live the present world think people who lived in past generation as their guide and try to predict what will happen to them next. However, one thing in life that people from past generation cannot offer the guide is success. Hard work and creative idea are always necessary to success, but there is ultimate difference between how hard one tries in past and in present. People from past generation had easier opportunity to get success than people have right now.
One difference from past right now is the amounts of information to achieve something. Nowadays, world requires one so much background information to support his opportunity. As world get more complicated, people should try to gain as much knowledge as they can to follow along with the progression of knowledge. In the past, people did not have to know so much. All that people needed to be successful in the past was the passion and creative idea to success. Walt Disney, who had been poor artist, could gain reputation and success as establishing Disney Company because he had creative idea that recreate mouse as lovely Mickey mouse. Started from Mickey Mouse, his success laid out in front of him. However, today, people would hardly have opportunity like Walt Disney. People should have knowledge about what is the trend on art and character, and they should strive to portray based on their background knowledge as best as they can. Among a lots of obvious differences between past and present, the level of complexity is the one of which make people’ success harder.
Since industrial revolution and medical breakthrough had taken place in late 19th centuries, the quality of peoples’ lives was increasing highly. They could do work only 8 hours a day whereas they should work for most of the day for living. People can now get better food, drink, and medication by strict standard of consumers’ organization. People who were from past generation, unfortunately, excluded from those benefits because of time. However, people should realize that increasing quality of general people would lead to the narrow path to their personal success. According to one research by the university of Washington in 2006, people nowadays have to study harder than people who were from past generation did, because their door to dream college get narrower. As more people compete for limited opportunity, less chance would be given to each person to gain. A the expectancy of people’ life nowadays is almost 90 years old. However, people who were from pt generation could live only to 55 before the medical breakthrough took place. People from past were given opportunity to emerging people. Today, opportunities are not given very well as past showed, because of comfortable lives that world can provide.
Past can be always effective guide when people have troubles in their lives. However, one thing they should not ask for advice is the success. They should realize the difference between two standards; one just requires the creative idea and passion, and the other requires the more knowledge and competition.
