Purpose in Life

When you walk outside in China, sometimes you can notice four people at a table playing mahjong (a famous Chinese game, which can let time run away); there are many people watching them. They forge to go to work, they forget to do housework, they forget to teach their kids… They are youths, they are mid adults, they are old people... they waste much time. When you go to public places, sometimes you can see people play video games by cellphone; some people addicted to electronic games; they play the games days and nights. In addition to playing the electronic games, they don’t want to do anything. They waste much time too… What’s wrong with our society nowadays? They are similar, because they haven’t a purpose in life!
Yaping Deng, a Chinese ping-pong player (whose short body didn’t fit to play this sport) practiced skills all day long and was persistent. She won 18 world championship medals in her career. Martin Luther King, an American black leader, led and fought for African American’ equal rights to end the suffering that came from racial prejudice all his life… They all are effective person. Why did they do this? Because they have a great goal!
So young people need to think what they will do, what kind of person they want be, how they spend their precious time in their life.
Everyone need examine their act at any time, they need to do the right things to follow their goal in life. Students need to study hard, workers need to work hard, government officers need to enforce the law… Each performs his/her own functions.
If everyone did right things, there wouldn’t be crime, indolence, violence and corruption in our world. Can you imagine how our society will be? It would look like Arabian Nights, but it could happen in the future. So if each of us does our best, the situation of our world will be better and better.
