Change
Leo Tolstoy once said, everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.
He is right. We always have great plans and dreams in our minds… too ready to achieve something grand that changes the world or benefits all of mankind .For example; we hate pollution and have made up our minds to find new energy sources that keep the environment clean. Yet we still litter on the ground. We complain about traffic jams, so we plan to build more highways to solve the problem, but it never occurs to us that our failure to follow traffic regulations is the leading cause of this situation. We are so concerned that the violence in the media has a bad impact on our children, we urge the government to set laws to protect them. But, do we, as adults, set a good example for our kids? We use nasty words and even spit on the ground in front of them, I dare to say, we harm more!
In my opinion, before we decide to change the world, we had better change ourselves first. As ordinary individuals, we do not have the power to change the world. But we can change our habit of littering, spitting, cussing, we can respect the environment around us, we must act as good models for our kids.
If each of us does all of these little things, all of us, millions and millions of individuals together, together we will be strong …strong enough to change our world!
So please, the next time you do something, think how your actions influence not only you, but those around you too, especially our children …and perhaps more importantly…our planet!
改变
列夫·托尔斯泰曾说过:每一个人都想改变这个世界,但无人想到改变自己。
他说的非常有道理,大家每一个人都心怀伟大时志向,时刻筹备去干一番能造福全人类的大事业。譬如,大家痛恨环境污染,所以大家下定决心去开发新的更高效更干净的能源来保护大家的环境,但同时大家却随手乱扔垃圾;大家抱怨大城市的交通堵塞,计划造更多的高速路来解决交通问题,但大家从来没想过,假如大家能遵守交通规则话,那样这一问题是否可以得到非常大得缓解呢?大家担忧电视电影里面得暴力会对大家得孩子产生不好的的影响,于是大家敦促政府通过立法来保护未成年人,但大家这类大人又做得如何呢?大家为大家的下一代做好了表率吗?大家说粗话,甚至在孩子面前吸烟。不客气地说,大家对孩子的不好的影响更多!
在我看来,在大家计划改变这个世界之前,大家先改变一下自己。作为一个普通人,大家其实没改变这个世界的能力,但我可以改变大家随地扔垃圾,随地吐痰的不好的习惯, 大家应该掌握去保护环境,大家应该为大家的孩子起好的表率用途。
假如大家每一个人都能从小事起,那样千千万万个人力量汇聚在一块,那力量是强大的,足以改变这个世界。
朋友,当你在做某一件事情的时候,请你想一想,你的行为会对你周围的人产生什么样的影响, 由于,你的行为不单单影响到你自己,还有你周围的人,更要紧的是大家的孩子…甚至大家的世界。
