This small fish Cares
Hot 5 |
Here comes a story, I would like to share it to you all:
In a morning after a big rainstorm, a man takes for a walk at seaside. While he is walking, he notices that in the puddles of the beach, there are lots of small fish which was blown by the rainstorm yesterday. The small fish are trapped in the puddles of water, they cannot go back to the sea, though the sea is very near. The amounts of the fish are more than hundreds, or thousands.Not very long, water in the shallow of beach will be absorbed by sand, or will be dried away by the sun, then, all those small fish will be die.
The man continues to take a walk. Suddenly, he sees a little boy in front of him. The boy walks very slowly, and he will make a stop in each puddles of water and bends over, tries to pick up the small fish in it, then uses all of his strength to throw them into the sea. The man stops and is watching the boy who is trying to save lives of small fishes.
At last, the man cannot help coming close to the boy and says:”My boy, there are hundreds and thousands small fish, you cannot save them all!”
“I know.” The boy answers without raise up his head.
“Yes? Why do you still throw ? Who will cares?”
“This small fish cares!” While the boy answering, he is picking up a fish and throwing it into the sea. “This one care, and this one, too. And still this one , this one, this one......”
The story seems to come to the end. But each person will get some ideas from this passage, what ideas do you toward this passage? Can you share it with me , my friends, here?

- We are all ordinary human beings and our powers are limited. We never know when we will need the help of others, especially in times of emergencies. In the same way, others would need our help in times of trouble. When and how we can help is up to us and it is our sacred responsibility to help.
Sometimes, it seems others don't need our help and they would find a way to help themselves. Actually, that is willful complacency. That means unreasonably refusing to help others.
Our first reaction should be to try to help those who are in urgent or desperate need. We can do whatever we can to help. For example, a person about to jump from a tall building for suicide, some words of consolation, encouragement or shared feelings could save him from death. Certainly, we should first ensure our own safety, otherwise, we would have just add one more person to danger. We should not just walk away.
Successful people are always willing to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, Why should I help, what's will I get in return or who cares?
We have to admit that we all have received some important help from others, so why can't we give some useful help to others in need?
Sometimes, we tend to only help those related to us. When we see our little sister going the wrong way, we would alert and warn her, but we may not do that for strangers because we do not know whether they may appreciate that help. We must remember that if strangers see your own sister in danger, we expect them to help, so why can't we do it for everyone?

As you said, when we help others, we should think consider if we can really help them, and as the same time, whether they need us help or not.
In some immergency time, we should help at once withou any delay. For example, if we see someone drop into water , we should help them, but on condition that you can swim. Or not along helping others , you will sacrifice your own life.
Sometimes, our small good deeds may be give other a new bright world.

- Sure indeed. But if others make a comment too often, you 'd better think if you go the wrong way.

- We should insist on what we are doing, on condition that they are right. The course to success is lonely, we need much more patience.
yuanxiu: I just think we need to insist on doing what we think the right things.

- Mostly we can not change the world, yet we can do our best within our limited power to save and change something else. That is what we can do. Everybody even a kid spends and cares some time and something contributes to a big change soon.

- We shouldn't give up doing it just because others don't. As the same time, we should fully aware that something we can do ,but some thing which we cannot do forever.
