在德国一个小镇上住着和睦的一户人家,厨艺精湛的母亲、顽皮的儿子和童心未泯的父亲。一件件趣事常常在他们家上演。
今天,儿子过生日,父母忙前忙后,他给儿子买了新上市的书,还准备了丰盛的食物,有红烧肉、海鲜汤、牛排、春卷……父亲看了口水流了满满一碗,两手抓起一把刀叉,切了块黑胡椒牛排,放进嘴里,津津有味地嚼了起来。这时母亲对父亲说:“菜凉了就不好吃了,赶快叫儿子来吃饭吧!”父亲抓起一只春卷边啃边向儿子的房间走去。父亲推开门,只见儿子正趴在地上,两只脚不停地上下晃动,眼睛睁得很大,不时发出咯咯的笑声,父亲说:“儿子吃饭了,由你最爱吃的牛排!”儿子对此无动于衷,父亲玩起小幽默:“COME ON,咱们来玩人类VS食物!”面对老爸的催促,儿子依依不舍边爬边看,随后被爸爸的屁股轻轻地顶进了餐厅里。什么东西这么吸引那小子啊?父亲向他凑上前去瞧了瞧……
儿子来到客厅,母亲等了十分钟也不见父亲回来,母亲着急地说:“儿子去把你爸找回来,有什么能比牛排更吸引他的 呢?”
儿子走到房间里,老顽童父亲正毫不在意地和儿子一样趴在地上,脚一晃一晃地认真地看着书呢!还不时哈哈大笑。儿子冲着父亲喊:“快点,快点,美味诱人的'牛排,快来吃呀!”“哈哈,别烦!”父亲皱了皱眉。儿子想起书中有趣的内容,禁不起诱惑,迫不及待地和父亲一起聚精会神地看了起来,这对父子俩很快地又投入到情节里,那真可谓是废寝忘食啊!
到底是什么样的书使父子俩达到如痴如狂的底部?当母亲走过来合上书时,原来是先在正火爆上市的伯劳恩写的《父与子全集》。
The picture shows us a dialogue between a father and a son. The son told his father, “Dad, I’m a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste”. While his father told him, “If you can empty the dustbin here you can do anything”. It reveals the importance of doing small things well before undertaking something big. There is also an old Chinese saying to go with this that a person can’t sweep the world before he can sweep his own room.
I agree on the point that it is of great importance for a person to do small things well before undertaking something big. First of all, doing small things well entail the qualities that needed in doing great things such as patience and ability of controlling time. For example, when we sweep our room, we need to manage our time and energy reasonably. Accordingly, if we sweep a bigger room, for example, a classroom with our classmates, we should learn how to cooperate and allot assignments as well. And a big advantage is that we can draw useful lessons from the failure of performing well because they didn’t cost a lot.
In another word, though these things seem trivial, they reinforce our manipulative ability and thus our understanding to the world. Therefore, we should not ignore the small things.
Just as is revealed in the picture above, the young, nowadays, just like the boy in the drawing, are prone to reach for what is beyond their grasp, but ignore the significance of doing something trivial and simple before accomplishing great feats.
There is no doubt that the symbolic meaning subtly conveyed in the picture should be given deep consideration. As we all know, a man who does not sweep a room, doesn't mention to sweep the world. In other words, the foundations of a building must be strong, or else the whole structure will fall down someday. Therefore, when it comes to the key to success, the most important thing lies in doing every tiny thing well around you.
As the saying goes, “the highest eminence is to be gained step by step.” To achieve the goal, not merely do we need ambition; we also need to realize the importance of dealing with triviality from the beginning. Only in this way can we get on the way to success down to earth.
