Development and the Environment
It is undeniable that the worsening environment has become the biggest concern of the present-day world. Land resources are dwindling because of water loss and soil erosion. Waste gases poison the air we breathe. The rivers and lakes are polluted by waste dumped in them from factories. It is probably no exaggeration to say that deterioration of the quality of the environment threatens the existence of mankind itself.
Some people are of the opinion that the environmental problem is the price we have to pay for economic development. But I do not think that this argument is valid. After all, what is the point of economic growth if people's lives are adversely alfected by worsening environmental pollution?
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing.
There is plenty of evidence to show that sustainable development can be achieved by balancing economic growth with protection of the environment. The key to achieving this is to make people aware of the seriousness of the problem. Both governments and ordinary citizens should join hands to make this world a better place to live in, not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.
now if all this is true, then why are we getting it so wrong? why are we setting up our schools this way and our workplaces? and why are we making these introverts feel so guilty about wanting to just go off by themselves some of the time? one answer lies deep in our cultural history. western societies, and in particular the u.s., have always favored the man of action over the man of contemplation and “man“ of contemplation. but in america's early days, we lived in what historians call a culture of character, where we still, at that point, valued people for their inner selves and their moral rectitude. and if you look at the self-help books from this era, they all had titles with things like “character, the grandest thing in the world.“ and they featured role models like abraham lincoln who was praised for being modest and unassuming. ralph waldo emerson called him “a man who does not offend by superiority.“
but then we hit the 20th century and we entered a new culture that historians call the culture of personality. what happened is we had evolved an agricultural economy to a world of big business. and so suddenly people are moving from small towns to the cities. and instead of working alongside people they've known all their lives, now they are having to prove themselves in a crowd of strangers. so, quite understandably, qualities like magnetism and charisma suddenly come to seem really important. and sure enough, the self-help books change to meet these new needs and they start to have names like “how to win friends and influence people.“ and they feature as their role models really great salesmen. so that's the world we're living in today. that's our cultural inheritance.
now none of this is to say that social skills are unimportant, and i'm also not calling for the abolishing of teamwork at all. the same religions who send their sages off to lonely mountain tops also teach us love and trust. and the problems that we are facing today in fields like science and in economics are so vast and so complex that we are going to need armies of people coming together to solve them working together. but i am saying that the more freedom that we give introverts to be themselves, the more likely that they are to come up with their own unique solutions to these problems.
so now i'd like to share with you what's in my suitcase today. guess what? books. i have a suitcase full of books. here's margaret atwood, “cat's eye.“ here's a novel by milan kundera. and here's “the guide for the perplexed“ by maimonides. but these are not exactly my books. i brought these books with me because they were written by my grandfather's favorite authors.
Dear teachers, dear students:
hello everyone!
Students! In his congratulatory letter to the _ anniversary of theconstruction of the young pioneers, Grandpa _ proposed to our young pioneers tobear in mind the heavy trust of the party and the people, and strive to be agood young man who studies hard and pursues progress.
So, how can we study hard? How to pursue the progress?
I remember the ancients saying, "three more lights and five more chickens,it is the boy who read. Black hair does not know how to study early, but whitehead regrets how late he studies. If you don't eat, you are hungry, you will befoolish if you don't read. Gorky said“ Books are the ladder of human progress. ""Great Zhou said," Dajiang song turned to the East, and he was poor in theworld. "Ten years of face wall breaking, difficult to pay for sea and hero"
It can be seen that our predecessors study hard and advance their spirit,how persistent; How touching, how can we not be deeply learning?
In our happy campus, in the good learning environment and such superiorlearning conditions, learning has different views; I have seen inextracurricular books that "learning is a burden, it is not lazy and greedy";Others think that "learning is like chewing wax, it is not as sweet as cheeseand bread." others think that "learning is just going through the field,learning and not learning" and so on. However, I think learning is a kind ofenjoyment, which can make you intoxicated; Learning is a piece of music that canenrich you. Make you happy in the strings of music. Learning is a delicious, itcan make you try sweet, sour and spicy; Only learning! Only know that I ambehind. Only learning! Find the gap with others. Only learning! And then you canget up and down; Learning, going forward and working hard are always on the sameline. Whip you always forward; But they have a fundamentally different side.That is, it never ends“ Learning without end! There is no side to learn the seato make a boat! "
Students! Study hard! Go for the best! Learn new knowledge, read noble andcultivate spirituality; The pursuit makes your eyes look wider from afar.Reading makes the mind travel through time and space, and pursues the immortalworld in the future! Thank you!
