In a team, those who do not accept others' criticism can not succeed. (TOEFL essay)
"If we do not hang together, we will all hang separately." The words of wisdom from Benjamin Franklin, one of the founding fathers of the United States, directly show us the critical point of view that we need cooperation, that is to say, always being willing to accept others' criticisms. The following reasons will hereupon stand for my opinion on this topic.
No one in this world has ever been perfect. Thus, from the acceptation of others' criticism and the introspection of us come the progress. Confucius once said, "Knowing your fault and correcting them, this is the braveness stronger than anything else." By sharp contrast, one who makes others' words in from one ear and out from the other will circumscribe him/her in a limited world, never gaining any improvement.
Aside from the progress of our skill and academy, it is also the goal to maintain a good relationship with the team members that asks us to accept others' criticisms. Even though the criticisms are not always right, were we not to consider about them, we would hurt others’ enthusiasm to speak out their suggestions for us, therefore, losing the chance to acquire the trust of them. In this age of teamwork, those who don't realize the importance of cooperation are not qualified to be a real ‘global citizen’.
I must admit that others' criticisms may from time to time be the impediment in our ways of success. Were we not to dare to challenge the criticisms of others, we could sometimes be smothered in the trend of mainstream, never achieving any truth, i.e., the real secret of nature. Our points may totally reverse with the public opinions. However, I want to point out that we must carefully analyze others' criticism before dropping them. How can the Apollo Project succeeded without the cooperation and the exchange of suggestions and criticisms among 20,000 scientists?
Due to the forementioned reasons, I hold the opinion that we should hold the awareness of others' criticisms. Gradually, we will find that this is such a meaningful way to live a wonderful life.

Is it better to set a challenging goal or a goal that is easy to achieve?(TOEFL essay)
Wandering in the gallery of the human's history, what we can observe is the dream of Einstein to converse the concept of Classical Mechanism, the challenge from the Charlse Darwin against the existence of God and also, the wish of Ahkwari to finish the marathon with a intensely hurt leg. In my perspective, only from the setting of a goal that is full of hardship and adversity arises the strengthened soul, cleared vision and luminous success. The following reasons will hereupon stand for my point on this topic.
First of all, a higher goal is a tool to help us to chieve more. It is a challenging dream that motivates us to climb on the peak which is hard for us to imagine before. The existense of this goal is the impulse, i.e., the call from within. Were we not to dare to set that goal, we could never fulfill ourselves, also dampening the expection from others.
Aside from the motivation of a more significant success, the enjoyment of life can also be experienced from that process. "We are born for the success! Make a big dream for yourself" The words of a famous motivational speaker show us the pivot position of a challenging goal in our lifelong road. For centuries, countless pioneers make their commitment to a hard dream, absorbing the nurtrition and courage from the process of pursuit. So why not set yours?
I need to admit that some people could get the touch of enjoyment from the leisure and rest. They don't want to be involved in the world of desire, thus refusing to pursue a high goal. However, most can't experience the exhiliation, which can be easily get from the experience of the fulfillment of a goal, from a slow pace of life.
Due to the forementioned justifications, I believe that the set of a challenging goal is the only path leading you to the palace of feat and success.
