Who do you admire (崇拜)? Different people may have different ideas.
If you're a sports fan, perhaps the person you admire most is a great basketball player, and Yao Ming is
probably the one in your mind. If you study music or play an instrument, perhaps the person you admire most
is gifted musician like Mozart, who began to write beautiful music at a very young age. Or maybe you admire
great scientists, for example, Yuan Longping.
We have many reasons to admire famous people and we often give much of our respect to them. However,
we shouldn't neglect those who are common, such as nurses, train drivers, firemen, cleaners and so on. They
may be working in a corner of the world without being noticed, but all these people spend their working days
serving the public. They show great dedication (奉献). However, what they do is often unnoticed by us. Have
you ever thought of what our life will be like if they stop working?
So next time when you appreciate famous people, don't forget those who are common around you.
