Student A: Nowadays, there are some heated debates on the topic “Is it better to lead or to be led?” Different people hold different opinions. Some believe that to be leader can bring a great many benefits, while others argue that to be led may be a better choice. And what’s your idea?
Student B: I agree with the former. To be leader can help develop our potentialities to a great extent. At the same time, learders with access to cretain privileges and powers can make their life easier in some circumstances. In China, especially, it is essential for people to build solid interpersonal relationships.
Student A: I have something different to say. What I want to convey is that almost everyone, in fact, is a leader as well as an individual who is led. We are leaders of ourselves and led by our leaders. In addition, with regard to certain work or some cases in life, it is not absolutely necessary to distinguish leaders from those who are led, what we should do is to demonstrate team spirit on the basis of suitable means.
Student B: I may not agree with you. In order to improve ourselves to the most degree and live a better life, it is indispensable for us to try our best to become leader and make persistent efforts to achieve promotions to higher positions. At that time, we may see the world in a much different way.
