issue1 part1 Elite education has always been a rare social resource. Understandably, many people hold the opinion that everyone should choose the field of study in which they are likely to succeed so that the rare social resource will be made fully use of. I concede that at the society level, it can alleviate the problem of waste of talent to some extent. However, I don’t quite agree with it. Everyone has his own definition of success. Success from this point of view refers to the success in a field of study, which means academic success. Even though, it is still hard for us to judge a person’s future by his behavior now. Not every great person becomes great at an early age. For a supporting example one needs look no further than Einstein. When he was a child, everybody thought him silly and clumsy, for he never got a good score in school. If he had lived in the society, where everyone possessed the view that people should quit if they are not likely to succeed in the field of study, then we would have unfortunately lost a genius whose thoughts would change the process of human beings.
