the horse. Disappointedly, what some people do on festivals is not to communicate

with their relatives and friends but to hold their cell phones and fix their eyes

on the screen all day long, just in order to grab red envelops. For my part, what

really matters is the relationship instead of the money. Essentially speaking,

gifting red envelopes is beyond reproach. Only in a rational way shall we not be

reduced to slaves of materialism or hijacked by the high technology.

Festivals offer precious opportunities for us to send good wishes to our beloved

ones and what we should do is to cherish these chances rather than to ignore the

essential connotation of the festivals. Anyhow, kinship, friendship and other

relationships are above anything and we ought to make every endeavor lest the

profound cultural atmosphere of traditional festivals should decline.

Drawings can be useful tools; a simple picture may reveal a profound truth. Theillustration above, for example, is far from complicated, and yet carries deep implications;from the top of a mountain one can see clear and far.

Such an image draws attention to the fact that people tend to be distracted by immediatebenefits, or deterred by present difficulties. If one was to stand higher and take a broader view,one could make wise, long?term decisions, as well as have a clearer sense of how to solve anygiven problem.

The importance of keeping things in perspective is of practical significance to universitystudents especially. When students face difficult decisions such as choosing between majors orcareers, or deciding whether to continue with postgraduate education, they should considertheir future life in broad terms. If you allow yourself to become preoccupied by immediateinterests or discouraged by current obstacles, you might not make the wisest decisions.

Nevertheless, it is important to realize that viewing our lives from a far is not equal toaiming for an unattainable goal. Inexperienced youth must be careful to realistically create andpursue their ambitions.

It is best to look beyond temporary needs and problems and keep one's present andfuture life in perspective.

The importance of doing small things

　　From the carton, we can clearly see that the boy is worried about of nuclear waste, while his father tells him to empty the dustbin first. This carton reminds me of a Chinese saying: If you don't clean the room(solve your problems), then how can you control the world. However, most people always attach great importance to something big, but small things.

　　In my opinion, it is necessary and important to do small things. On the one hand, doing small things well helps us to develop good habits, which set a good for our future development. There is no doubt that one of the greatest differences between success and failure is the importance placed on little things. On the other hand, the big is the little. If something needs to be done, it is big. No matter what kinds of task, if it is worth doing, it can be big.

　　Taking all these into account, we can easily notice that it is reasonable to do small things before big ones. So before doing important things, let’s empty our dustbin first!
