As is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon, |
[00:05.68] |
supporting each other with their firm hands, |
[00:08.26] |
two handicapped adolescents are continuing their new journey on the ground. |
[00:13.04] |
Crutches left behind, they have successfully cracked the hard nut of lameness |
[00:19.12] |
which might have confused the majority of the disabled. |
[00:22.39] |
The caption indicates, |
[00:24.51] |
"You have merely one leg and so do I. Helping each other, we can travel all around." |
[00:30.76] |
Undoubtedly, we can deduce from the portrayal that the cartoonist is trying to attract our attention to the issue of cooperation. |
[00:40.44] |
According to a survey conducted among a group of people who were in the same college class ten years ago, |
[00:47.33] |
those who are ready to give their cooperation to others all became rich or managers of all fields, |
[00:53.78] |
while not a single young man having difficulty in getting along with their classmates becomes an executive or a boss. |
[01:01.13] |
Why those who are excellent in team work tend to be managers or run their own enterprise in their later life? |
[01:08.33] |
The answer seems self-evident. |
[01:11.39] |
On the one hand, if you are competent in profession |
[01:15.02] |
but have difficulty in getting along with your colleagues and even your boss, |
[01:19.63] |
you can hardly survive the corporation. |
[01:22.36] |
On the other hand, your chances of success are much higher with wide circle of friends |
[01:28.64] |
who are willing to corporate with you to provide information and resources. |
[01:33.42] |
It is my view that, first and foremost, |
[01:36.60] |
we can frequently use the drawing to enlighten the juvenile to learn to cooperate successfully with each other. |
[01:43.82] |
Furthermore, whatever difficulty or situation we are confronted with, |
[01:48.65] |
those who have the spirit of cooperation and team work are nearer to success. |
[01:53.93] |
Just as John Adams, the second U.S. president quoted from the ancient Greek Aesop's Fables, |
[02:00.38] |
"United we stand, divided we fall." |
