最近朋友们在脸书上分享了中国的电视演说比赛。
当中，媛媛的《唤醒90后的社会责任》给予
我的共鸣还蛮大的。
当风口浪尖的大人物落幕时，
生活需要的是默不吭声，
坚守其职的好人们。
Translation:
I'm a Law student.
Out of all the lecturers I have had so far,
none of them ever disagree to a statement:
"It is true that the law and regulations
have stated such and such ...
But..... BUT, in the reality,
it is always the other way round."
Reality is so real,
So so real that it becomes such surrealistic that
doesn't conform to its own rules and regulations.
Man who follows the rules rarely get what he wants,
while those who don't often bag everything on the table.
Therefore, it has been part of the norm to have
seniors tapping my shoulder while sighing to my
"immaturity" and "over-optimism".
I would like to project this question to Gen Y-Z.
"What can you contribute to this society?
How can you benefit this world?"
Someday,
the national reserve bank will be chaired by a Gen Y-Z
Someday, Wallstreet will be filled with Gen Y-Z entrepreneurs.
It might sound absurd,
but, someday,
The Gen Y-Z will be some countries'
PM and President.
In short,
someday, the society will be passed onto us,
the Gen Y-Z.
That's the fact.
But, the uncertainty is
what are we giving back to the society
and how are we going to deal with it?
I'm not saying that we will each hold a position
which have impetuous effects on the country.
Instead, what I'm trying to imply is that
all of us are nothing but a small
and almost negligible fragment of the entire society.
a.k.a "fry".
Our life is planned the moment we are borned.
When we're young,
we're told that academic excellence is the purpose of living.
When we graduated from college/universities,
having a handsomely-paid job is a must.
Approaching our 30s,
we're instructed that it's time to settle down,
and spend the most glorious 20 years of our life
paying our mortgages.
You may say that we "lived".
But I've a question:
"Did you live a 'life'?"
We're so focused that
we eventually loose focus
on the environmental issues,
and have no interest in the country's fate.
Spending so much time and energy
focussing on our lives,
we simply don't have anymore to spare
on contributing back to the society.
Much ironic huh?
However, I've figured out something
which I think all of us could accomplish.
It is to be good no matter how old or useless we get.
No matter if we end up being
a factory's CEO or a street vendor.
We can still choose to be good,
and stay enthical.
Do choose to defend that one
most important ethic in life,
despite having millions excuses
to not do so.
