contents Let $(R,M,k)$ be a complete local ring (not necessarily Noetherian). As the first main result of this article, we prove that in the unequal characteristic case $\Char(R)\neq\Char(k)$, the natural surjective map between the groups of units $R^{\ast}\rightarrow k^{\ast}$ admits a splitting. \\ Next, we reprove by a new method that in the equi-characteristic case $\Char(R)=\Char(k)$, the natural surjective ring map $R\rightarrow k$ admits a splitting. In our proof there is no need for the existence of the coefficient fields for equi-characteristic complete local rings, whose existence is the most difficult part of the known proof. \\ As an application, we show that for any complete local ring $(R,M,k)$ the following short exact sequence of Abelian groups: $$\xymatrix{1\ar[r]&1+M\ar[r]& R^{\ast}\ar[r]&k^{\ast} \ar[r]&1}$$ is always split. In particular, we have an isomorphism of Abelian groups $R^{\ast}\simeq(1+M)\times k^{\ast}$. We also show with an example that the above exact sequence does not split for many incomplete local rings.
