A world deprived of diversity would be a bland and boring place. The real tragedy is not being short or shy or ugly, but having your identity lost in a world in which everyone is a clone of a model cool boy or a flawless charming girl.
Yes, each of us is only one among millions of others, but each of us is an individual and each of us is unique. Cultivating our individuality will transform our lives, making of them a kaleidoscope of new colors and textures.
dumpling is a traditional chinese food. On the lunar new year' s day most families make a lot of delicious dumplings. To make them follow this easy process.
Given a choice, I would rather be ugly than live in such a world. I'd rather be a genuine dwarf accompanying a Snow White than be a Snow White among nothing but Snow Whites. I would rather be myself. I would contribute my individual and unique colors to create a more diverse universe. Please, be yourself.
everyone is attracted by beauty and beauty is powerful. but what is true beauty? perhaps you can get the answer from the following story.
this morning i went to the market to buy some vegetables with my parents. on the way we all highly praised a young man in western-style clothes and leather shoes who was riding by. but he rode so fast that he knocked an old lady down carelessly.instead of stopping, he pretended not to see this and rode away quickly. we were all very angry with the young man. to our happiness, a girl in plain dress ran forward at once, helped the lady up and took her home. we all praised the girl.
from this we know we cannot judge a person by his appearance. a person who is dressed beautifully may not have a beautiful soul. only a person who has a beautiful soul is really beautiful.
as two men were about to be sent into prison, the warden let each of them make a demand. the american loved smoking, so he wanted three boxes of cigars; while the jew said all he needed was a telephone to contact with people outside of the prison. two years later, the first out was the american who still had many cigars in his hands and pockets but was crying: “give me some matches!” then the jew walked out, he shook hands with the warden and said: “thank you for the phone, it made my business increase by 200%.”
what do you think of this story? life today is what you’ve decided years ago, and so is the future: your decisions today will affect your destiny years later. now i have two things to choose from: to go abroad, to find myself a decent job after graduation or to further my study as a postgraduate. i haven’t worked out an answer to this question yet, but i know that whatever i do will directly affect my future.
an indian once said life is just like a game of cards, the cards in your hand represent opportunities, while the way you play decides the result you’ll get. looking back in history, during world war ⅱ, churchill who led the british people resolved to expect “blood, toil, tears and sweat”. they won the victory then. today shenzhou 5 took the first chinese astronaut into space. i am sure that later there’ll be more spacecrafts, like shenzhou 6,7 and 8
so what does the future look like? no one can tell. but i know the choice is yours, the future is now. make good use of everyday, a man can achieve greater successes, a country can gain prosperity and the whole world can be united, as it has never been before.
