Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.
For many people, the traditional path to success involves graduating from high school and college before working their way up in a particular profession. However, many of society’s most successful individuals taught themselves the skills they need to start their own businesses, invent new technologies, or create works of art. For these individuals, the nontraditional path turned out to be the path to success.
Are people who do not follow traditional paths to advancement more likely to be successful than those who do? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
1. 题目翻译
对很多人来说，在进入一个特定行业发展之前，通向成功的传统途径包括从高中和大学毕业。然而社会上有很多最成功的人士靠自学来创业、发明新技术或者创作艺术作品。对这些人来说，非传统的路径反而通向了成功。
不通过传统成功途径发展的人比通过传统途径发展的人更容易成功吗?
2. 审题关键词
traditional path, nontraditional path, success
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲
正：非传统途径为很多因各种原因在传统途径中难以发挥的新型人才提供了成功道路。举例：史蒂夫·乔布斯，比尔·盖茨等等。
反：有极大一部分人通过传统途径取得成功。举例：诺贝尔奖获得者很多都毕业于世界名校，比如88位诺贝尔奖获得者是英国剑桥大学校友，87位来自美国哥伦比亚大学等等。
补：不可武断认为哪种途径更容易成功，需要因人而异，全面分析实际情况选择适合的途径。
