Composition to try：Immediate problems of today can naturally become delicate and tough, finally contributing to more complicated problems, if not solved immediately by the government. But the idea that government should focus on solving the immediate problems of today rather than the anticipated problems of future is going to vary greatly form the types of problems and respective influences, especially on the advancement of a nation and people.With respect to the immediate problems of today, some types, like the employment of the peasant-worker, can be closely linked to people’s well-being and economic development of a country, which deadly need to be solved at the very moment in case of any upheaval. While anther types, corruption, for instance, is usually deemed as the immediate problems of today, but it cannot be cleared up for a short time in spite of a full attention put on.Similarly, the anticipated problems of future can be also simply divided into two parts: the inevitable one and the potential one. The reunification of China with Taiwan’s return to the motherland can be taken for the typical one of the former, which is constant drawing attentions from all around the world and considered as the immediate problem, too. It is self-evident for the governments of China, without any hesitation, that full account is supposed to be taken due to its urgency. Regarding to the climate change, the notable example of the latter, is going to pose the irretrievable consequence on the next generation if government do nothing efficient.

Generally, for most people, they seem not that smooth to decide which one they are ready to open their mouth. It is pretty plain the contradiction lies in the uncertainty that if people choose the to-be rotten apple, then another to-be-rotten one is going to face them, while if choosing the fresh one, they are bound to abandon the being-rotten apple. Thus there comes the following solution with which people might partly agree. It couldn’t be better to pay proper attention on both the to-be-rotten apple and the fresh one. That is true of handling the contradiction of the immediate problems of today and the anticipated ones of the future.Consequently, a Scientific Outlook on Development is must be taken, by make overall plans and take both the immediate and anticipate problems into consideration, to cope with various problems facing us in the days present and to come.
