Altruism and Individuality

-----Animals good example

Despite the Darwinian selection process, there are actually many altruism behaviors in the nature. In the world of insects, bees can be taken as a good example. In a Hymenoptera society, when an individual shows inability to bear offspring, it devotes itself in other ways. It together with others build beehives round the clock; they gather honey tirelessly; they do everything possible to protect their shelters. When the society is short of food, they save their own sustenance for the queen. And when a predator comes, they prick the invader, therefore sacrifice themselves to secure the infant. Every year a large group of wild geese move to south to winter in. When a hunter starts to track them, one of these geese would burst into shriek therefore draw the attention of predator and the community would survive. Chimpanzee, the forebear of human being, shows greater

altruism than their developed relatives. The strongest chimpanzee would always run at the end of community when they are in danger. Altruism is everywhere on earth.(写例子的时候一般要比较一致,前面着重写bee,后面最好不要突然冒出来黑猩猩) 或

者可以另起一段。或者从开头就说there are numerous examples,然后写两个例子)

-----Han Han good example

Sometimes we need to make sacrifice in order to benefit the entity, while sometimes we must have our individuality. Take Han Han, who was recently on the list of top thinkers conducted by the “Time”, as an example. Han was born in an ordinary family in suburban district. He enjoys reading but always stinks in Mathematics. After two years of high school’s life Han chose to quit/drop out and chase his dreams to become both a best-selling writer and a racing driver. Who can foreseen or even believe such a success or miracle directed by a high school dropouts? What I learn from him is that I must follow my heart, not the crowd!

Had Han endured his high school life, taking tons of maths exercises just for an offer of a plain university, his sharp point would have definitely be grounded down. Now Han has become a public figure and despite the rigid censorship, Han always tell what he thinks is right. Tergenev said, and I paraphrase it: A human being's personality should be firm like rock, as everything is based on it.

Courage

-----Liu Xiang

The owner of “triple crown”, Liu Xiang, has long been regarded as a culture icon in China, invigorates millions of teenagers strive for their dreams. Having captured several golden medals in 2007, Liu found it that he could hardly torment the suffering around his Achilles tendon and decided to withdraw the Europe circuit for the preparation of Olympic Games on his home soil. On 8 August 2008, I could still remember the heartbeat I felt that time, when we all awaited the return of our king. But he just walked off the track after a false start by another runner,http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liu_Xiang - cite_note-Independent-8 leaving the crowd at the Beijing National Stadium in stunned confusion/flabbergasted , and filled with tears. At first, I disdained him for his self-serving. Nevertheless I changed my opinion after deliberate upon the case(for the reason that)No one can ever imagine the hardship Liu took at the moment; it is not like LeBron James’ famous “decision”, especially Liu bore/undertook the national expectation of a victory. And recently Liu caught our eyes and dazzled(reignite/restimulate our inspiration) again in Asian

Games with a new match record and a Liu-marked manifesto:” I’ll be back in London.” He has beaten the odds! We can never concisely define the cowardice or courage; it hinges on the endeavor you make then.

------Nineteen Hundred

“What I did not see was where the whole thing came to an end, the end of the world.” This is a classic line of my favorite movie: The Legend of 1900. Nineteen hundred, the lead role, was an abandoned mere baby in a stacker. For the span of his life he never stepped down the cruise ship and strolled along the bustling and flourishing streets. Though his friend begged him piteously to go to land when the company made the decision to consume the ship, he chose to go to Davy Jones’s locker. Nearly everyone bemoan the tragedy of nineteen hundred, but I actually appreciate the courage he has. There are so many temptations/enticemetn on the land that he might succumb, which leads to his end. You may ask:” Isn’t it a kind of

cowardice?” No. Pursuing one’s own ways of life is a courage few people own and nineteen hundred did it without any hesitation. We should not always follow the crowd but our own heart.

Creativity

----- Renaissance

People

Nowadays the lists of bestsellers in China are no longer occupied by “Harry Potter” or “The Da Vinci Code”, instead, reading “Analects of Confucius” or “Zhuang Zi” becomes prevailing. Is it a kind of backward? Definitely not. Problems we meet in daily life can be solved by the way Confucius told us two thousand years ago and being even more beneficial if we try to see it in a whole new light. Isn’t it a kind of creativity? Renaissance, which encompassed a resurgence of learning based on classic sources, can be the greatest movement in history served as a connection of middle age and modern times. During the time, artists not only re-explored the spirit of classics but also lift the art to a higher altitude. Leonardo Da Vinci drew Mona Lisa, The Last Supper and Virtruvian man with the development of highly realistic linear perspective. The most significant change during the era in science is the entirely new scientific method by which leads to many contribution in the fields of astronomy, physics, biology, and anatomy. Someone believes that renaissance revert art to old ways, which I think is nonsense because retrospect produces creativity.

这个例子写得有点凌乱。我的提议是,如果你想写文艺复兴,就直接写文艺复兴的事,前面提到孔子可以放在例子后面作为补充或者是感想来写。文字方面倒是问题不大。

------Apple

Newton sitting under an apple tree, which was the original logo of Apple Company, demonstrates their core value: creativity. During 1990s Apple hit the rock bottom without any competence against Microsoft. However, nowadays walking along the bustling and flourishing streets in Shanghai or , you may see people using iphone or ipod anywhere. What happened to Apple(team members)? What had they brought? Using iphone, we can see family or friends when we talk to them, moreover, we can record our life so stunning in this flimsy machine that we don’t need carry any other cameras. And what’s harder to believe is that there are three hundred thousand application software wait for us to download. Apple does not unceasingly spend their inventiveness in creating a totally new taste but also concentrates on the real demand. It’s creativity that yanks Apple to another summit.

And It’s creativity that inject fresh elements into our lives. 可以直接写成Steve Jobs的例子

Disadvantage of hi-tech

-----Nuclear Energy

The nuclear debate about the controversy which has surrounded the deployment and the use of nuclear fuel for civilian purpose has never ended since it existed. Admittedly nuclear power is a sustainable energy source that reduces carbon emissions because it produces virtually no conventional air pollutions, therefore it will not be connected to green house effect. Furthermore, the efficiency of the change of energy is astonishingly high in contrast to that of fossil fuel. However, opponents believe that nuclear power poses many threats to people and the environment including the problems of processing, transport and storage of radioactive nuclear waste. What has been ironic is that when the nuclear debate

peaked during 70s and 80s, it is likely to lead to an unprecedented nuclear war. Though fortunately the politicians swallowed their anger, who can ignore the thousands of nuclear weapons exist in the world and can be launched in no more than thirty minutes? I highly doubt whether there are more advantages of nuclear energy over the negative effect. -----iphone

On a chilling winter morning, you slip beneath the sheet and seems like it will kill you if you are dragged out of the bed. You are suppose to call on your mother since the last time your mother touched your face can be traced back to another chilling winter morning, last year of course. And you suddenly notice the iphone as if it is your savior. Yes you can have a facetime with your mother and you go on sleeping. I am keenly aware of the lure of hi-tech. I study in a boarding school and spend far

more time in my school with my friends than with my parents. And in the weekend I should have talked about my school life but I just can’t help playing with my iphone or surf online. Sometimes I cherish the memory when I was still a child and there had not so many attractions which separate me and my parents. I mean, the hi-tech undoubtedly arouse your interests, add to fresh elements and accelerate your life rate which might be important to you. But what if the hi-tech stuck between you and your parents or friends so badly, why should it even appear in your life?

Self-satisfaction

这个可能是我没有讲清楚,这个self satisfaction和altruism比较接近,指的是自我满足和利他主义,比如捐款 比如做慈善,比如放弃名 利,追求真理,就像Buddha一样的,所以你举的两个例子好像有点点偏

-----Confucius

There is an anecdote about Confucius when he went to worship another great thinker Kung Wen Tzu. Walking through the temple, Confucius asked many questions about religious ceremony to the guide. Someone wanted to abash Confucius and said:”You always discuss with your students some esoteric problems, but you don’t know these basic manners?” Confucius said:” Never feel ashamed to ask or learn from someone inferior to you. Therefore Kung Wen Tzu got the title 'Wen'. ” Confucius never felt complacent. He said once he met two children in quarrel. One said:”The sun is closer to us in morning because it seems larger.” The other kid said:” Then sun is closer to us at noon because it releases more heat.” They asked Confucius but got no reply. The story indicates that there’s no satiety in study. Nowadays we can easily answer the question of the kids but is that enough? Just like Rene Descartes said and I paraphrase it:” Learning more, and you will feel more ignorant.” ----- Ludwig Van Beethoven

Ludwig Beethoven is considered to have been the most crucial figure in the transitional period between the

Classical and Romantic eras in Western classical music, and remains one of the most famous and influential composers of all time. His fame spread in his twentieth the period during which he learnt how to compose from Mozart and Haydn. Later he began to lose hearing. Had he gave up we wouldn’t enjoy such splendid music. Beethoven used a conversation book to communicate with the outer world and no respond from the audience escaped his minute observation. People witnessed a miracle, a deaf composed “moon light” and “Ninth symptom”. Beethoven had achieved glory and compliments while never showed self-content. To profusely express his innermost feelings, Beethoven strived for the music tirelessly. On this way, he could never waste any time on complacency, so he succeeded.

(这个可以用来证明persistent, success comes from failure 或者 creativity等)

Success comes from failure

-----Sylvester Stallone good example

“1849” is a magic number to many young actors or actresses who have set their mind on achieving successful careers in Hollywood. More than thirty years ago, a young man was

inspired by a Muhammad-Ali fight and then had a foundation idea of his own film. He can’t wait to write it down and finished the script in three days. At the time there were about five hundred studios in Hollywood and the young man tried to sell the script with craving of playing lead role. To his astonishment, none of the studio accepted his piece. Without any depression he knocked the doors of studios one by one again with even greater perspiration. He made an advance on the way he promoted his work and matured his scenario over and over. He fit his work in every minute here and there. It had been 1849 failures before a film-maker first expressed his appreciation. Thanks to his marvelous willpower and the absence of flaw brought by failures, or we will never enjoy the Rocky Balboa and know him-----Sylvester Stallone.

-----Confucius

Confucius is definitely the representative of Chinese traditional culture. Nevertheless, the ism he founded known as the Confucian did not receive much encomium. Confucius had already been 57 years old when he finally matured his theory. Later he spent 14 years touring the other kingdoms of his time trying to sell his views on the other rulers but nowhere did he receive much attention. It was just like a slap in his face because all of these things he dedicated to was treated no more than some waste paper. But a great mind will never degrade. Confucius

determined to propagate his knowledge so that someone after him would enhance and glorify his theory and build a better world. Instead of being a political figure, he became an editor or author of all of the five classics including Analects of Confucius later finished by his followers which had a great influence in worldwide. He founded the first home school in China and taught more than 3000 students,

72 of them became great philosophers.

Sometimes failures can be the catalyst of your future.(pressure brings about motivation. )

White lie

-----The Last Leaf

Look at O. Henry’s short story”The Last Leaf”. Johnsy, a young girl who unfortunately caught by “Mr. Pneumonia”, lay in her bed counting down her short lifetime by observing the decreasing leaves on the wall. Behrman, a painter and a wine bibber, is sixty and always wanted to leave a masterpiece though he never did. After a night of storm, no one expected there would be a lucky leaf stay on the wall and Johnsy had lost the hope to continue her life. But Behrman made a white lie. He endured the raining and icy cold, climbed on the ladder and painted an astonishing animated leaf instead of the fallen one. Johnsy find her hope through Behrman’s lie while the old man was actually killed by the Pneumonia. But this leaf, an esteemed lie,

regardless the painter’s painting skills, is definitely an unprecedented masterpiece. -----Anecdote

Half a century ago, a plane was forced landing in an immense desert. Knowing that the plane had been damaged so badly that it couldn’t take off again and the communication apparatus had been destroyed, all the nine passengers and the pilot dropped in silence. With a passenger starting to blow off steam, the rest of them scrambled for the water and food. At the moment, one passenger said he was a repairman and he could fix the plane. Everyone sit back, shared the things evenly and united to help repairman. Ten days later, nothing happened. But after two weeks’ unbearable waiting, a group of businessman happened to get through the desert and see these passengers. They got rescued! Getting back to their home, the repairman confessed that he didn’t know how to fix the plane. Isn’t

it a lie? But without it, they may be killed by each other before killed by desert. Encourage the morale
