ETHICS

                                               Ethics

Today I see a little story that happened in a company. A forty-year-old woman carried with her son to apply for an appropriate job. They need to stay a lounge to wait for a leader. Meanwhile, this woman was eating something. Soon the woman threw a piece of waste paper on the ground. At that time, an old person that was cutting leaves stood very close to her. Of course, she also saw this behavior but she did not speak. Then she walked to this waste paper and picked it up into the garbage. In a moment, the woman threw the other waste again; the old still picked it up into the garbage and did not speak. The woman pointed to the old and said to her son, “Look at her! If you do not work hard, you will have a hard life.” At that moment, a polite man went straight to their and said to the old, “President, our meeting will start after a minute.” When the woman knew the old is the president of this company, she felt very bad. Obviously, they lost an opportunity to get an appropriate job in this company.

When I saw this story, I think this is a very meaningful and instructive story. This story told us we need to be a polite person and respectful about everyone, even the poor or the people at the bottom. With the development of the economy, our life has become more and more comfortable. We are no longer living in a tough place. Although it is a good phenomenon, a word “ethics” may be ignored by the majority of people. In very simple terms, our students could respect everyone and everything, such as our desks, chairs, trees and so forth. Also, we could do a warm-heart person to help everyone when they need to help. For other people, if they might take a little part of their money to fund some of them they really need money to treat or study.
