Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and assignment below:

Some say that high achievers-people who reach their ambitious goals because of their determination and skills-always get ahead at the expense of others. When one political candidate is elected, others are defeated; when someone wins in any kind of competitive event, others lose. But this view of achievers is too negative. By improving the world around them and providing an example for all to follow, achievers benefit others as well as themselves.

Do the actions of high achievers benefit all people?
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：

人们说成就卓越的人，就是那些因为自己的决心和技能达成了自己的目标的人，总是以牺牲他们为代价而出人头地。当一个候选人当选了。其他人就被打败了；当一个人在任何形式的竞争中获胜了，其他人就会输。但是对于胜利者得这种观点太过负面。通过使身边的世界变得更好，给后人做出榜样，胜利者给自己和他们都带来了益处。

题目：成功人士的行为给所有人都带来好处了吗？

2. 审题关键词：achiever, all people

3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲：

正：High achievers did things that can benefit the society as whole. Thus, the overall well being of the society is increased.

反：It is impossible for them to benefit all people. They can at best serve a small portion of all the people.

补：Yet we shall not oppose social elites from creating something new.
