ÀøÔÅÊéÒµÊî¼ÙÏνÓÄþ²¨³ö°æÉçϵÁд𰸡°Image is everything£®¡± An entire industry has been built upon the assumption that image is everything, but when it comes down to it, an appealing image is not enough£®If there is no substance£¨ÊÂʵ£© behind the image, the product, service or person will fail eventually£®
First of all, one should consider how important image is in the selling of products and services£®Advertising agencies have raised the art of creating an image to a state of near perfection£®Public concept of that product or service is certainly managed by the images created by the advertising agencies£®But if the product or service does not live up to the image that was created, the customer will be very dissatisfied and possibly ask for their money back£®For example, the Arthur Andersen accounting firm had spent decades building up an image of trustworthiness£®But the recent scandal £¨³óÎÅ£© showed that behind that image, it cheated in business practices£®Despite the previous positive image, the firm is being accused of criminal actions and it will probably not survive as a business unit£®Although the image had been nearly perfect, the reality behind the image has led to the downfall of the world famous accounting firm£®
Similarly, personal advisers can build up a public image for politicians and movie stars£®Putting out positive news releases, making sure that only the best photographs are published, and ensuring that the person is seen in all the right places can build up a very positive image in the view of the general commons£®But once again, history is filled with examples of both politicians and movie stars that fell from grace like the story of the Hollywood actor giving in to the pressures of fame and fortune£®With people, just as with products and services, image is certainly important, but without positive substance behind the image, failure is close£®
To summarize, it is clear that an appealing image is extremely important to success, whether that image is related to selling a product or service or to the ¡°selling¡± of a person£®But image is only half of the equation£®What lies behind that image is every bit as important as the image itself ¡ª¡ª the person or product must deliver on that image or there is little chance for long-term success£®

The Loss of Innocence£¨´¿Õ棩
Innocence is such a precious gift. It¡¯s explained as freedom from guilt or wrong doing. Just imagine never having to worry about anything and having a guilt-free mind. Some people wish to save this kind of innocence from being lost from childhood to adulthood.
What would the world be like if innocence were never lost? One way it would benefit humanity is the lack of hatred £¨³ðºÞ£© among the world. During youth, there may be an occasional argument, even a little physical fight, but nothing like firing a handgun at a fellow human being. And children are blind towards the racial differences of others. A kid will hang out with any other kid. It is the lack of innocence and the ignorance we learn from adults that influence children otherwise. Another benefit is the constant desire for fun and adventure. With very little if any time at all for fun, the adventurous mind is lost in time with the responsibilities placed upon adults. If innocence were kept alive, these ambitions would never depart from our lives.
However, other people actually hate the idea of innocence lasting for ever. They feel that the lack of organization and mental power of those with innocence would cause extremely destructive consequences to society in general. A large number of individuals would never have the urge to learn, work, and act upon the necessary needs for humanity to survive. Without a proper education which is usually provided by those who no longer live in a world of innocence, people would not have the desire to succeed, get a good job in life, or provide income for their families, which would hurt the lives of children.
The lack of a good education and career would also harm the economy. As long as innocence is kept alive, no one would be terribly angry at the lack of effort people put out in the workplace, resulting in a strong decline£¨¼õÉÙ£© in production and quality of needed goods.
Maybe it is wrong in wanting to save innocence. It sure is a nice thought, though. Perhaps innocence was meant to be lost. It was god's will to make things the way they are, and there is a good purpose for everything. All that remains to be said about innocence is to enjoy it while it lasts.

| A£®avoided | B£®criticized | C£®accepted | D£®encouraged |
