Stupid GRE

Young people should be encouraged to pursue long-term, realistic goals rather than seek immediate fame and recognition.

As I see it, the idea that people should be encouraged to pursue realistic, long term goals, rather than immediate fame and recognition is based on an assumption that there are such things as "realistic, long term" goals.

I would need some examples that show there are no such things as "realistic, long term" goals.  That would be my evidence.

As I see it, the idea that people should seek immediate fame and recognition is based on an assumption that "fame and recognition" can be defined.  They can't.

I would need some evidence to show that the definitions of fame and recognition is inherently ambiguous.
