"        "1. 人們不會尊重一個不能完成他要求別人完成的任務自己卻不能完成的領導。這是人之常情，人們通常都只會欣賞和尊敬比自己優秀的人，而不喜歡被一個不能完成任務卻命令自己去做的人心存敬意。例如克林頓總統當commander-in-chief 的時候，由於眾所周知他曾經逃避兵役，很自然的下級軍官和士兵都不是很尊重他。
2. 人們不信任一個自己完不成任務卻要求別人去完成的人。仍然舉克林頓總統的例子。由於他逃兵役被視為沒有能力，下級都對他的決策心存懷疑，這也就潛在的導致了執行上的不盡心不盡力。
3. 誠然是否能完成自己交給別人的任務並不是衡量一個leader重要指標。可能領導能力、,組織能力、運籌能力更為重要，但是我們不能忽視人們心理上的看法，儘管它可能並不合理但它確實是存在的。

"        "1.比起專業的公共服務組織，所有的公民都完成一定的公共服務顯得比較低效率。因為我們是在一個高度專業化分工十分明晰的社會，放棄專業的公共服務組織而採取強制性的公民義務形式的服務會使得效率十分低下，而且也會讓大多數 人不滿，畢竟每個人都有自己的職業和愛好。
2.管理成本的高昂也是該計畫難以貫徹的一個原因。這項決定潛在上要求了要有人監督每個公民是否履行了自己的義務，也要有人給每個公民分配任務.
3.誠然就象作者所說的那樣確實會從整體上給國家帶來一定的好處，同時給每個參與的人提供和更多人交流等機會，但是在權衡利弊之後尤其是在和專業化組織對比之後還是得不償失的be not worth the candle mandatory compulsory ...be weighed against ...

1. 一方面我們的立法越來越完善不斷向著消除歧視和偏見的方向發展。這從強制的方面要求人們尊重和其他人的不同
2. 另一方面，隨著技術的不斷進步交流的不斷深入人們對別的文化也有了更深的瞭解。而瞭解就會使得不同文化的人們提高對對方文化和行為的自發的非強制的尊重。
3. 誠然現在還有很多的種族的性別的等各個方面的歧視。但是我們很高興地看到事情在向好的方面發展。

2， 同時，員工的私人狀況，如果會危害到其他員工，那麼應該有權得這知。比如，健康狀況，犯罪的歷史等等重大事件。健康，會infect other employee/ 暴力 history of crimes violence 很可能會對其他的員工造成傷害。這些都是必須要知道的。

"        "1. A conformist can achieve any real success especially lasting success. Real and lasting success needs innovation and hard work. Just to conform does not make any sense. Through imitating others, one can only become an artisan-painter rather than an artist; without any innovation, a scientific worker can never be acknowledged as a scientist.
2. Likewise, no one can ""get rich"" in business merely conform to the existing practices.
3. However, what I mentioned above does not mean that conventions have no value at all. We should not only know the conventions but also have a deep insight of it, thus getting the information of the domain that indicates what kind of innovation can be made and how make.
