Philosophical Prose on Responsibility
1 Five-year-old Hank went to work in the forest with his parents and brothers when it suddenly began to rain, but they only brought a poncho. Dad gave the poncho to mom, mom gave it to my brother, and my brother gave it to Hank. Hank asked, "Why did my father give it to my mother, my mother gave it to my brother and my brother gave it to me?" Dad replied, "Because dad is better than mom, mom is better than brother, and brother is better than you." We all protect the weak. Hank looked around and ran to spread the poncho on a delicate flower swaying in the wind and rain. The real strong man is not necessarily how powerful or rich he is, but how much he helps others.

The Zen master asked him, "Are you willing to give up your reputation, wealth, family, career and friends?" The man couldn't answer. The Zen master added, "Everyone's basket is full of what they seek from this world. Once they have it, they will be responsible for it. " 3.

Accidentally, the boy kicked the football to the neighbor's window and the glass broke. An old man ran out of the house at once, flew into a rage and loudly questioned who did it. His friends ran away one by one, but the little boy walked up to the old man, bowed his head, apologized to the old man and asked his forgiveness. But the old man was stubborn, and the little boy was wronged and cried. Finally, the old man agreed to let the little boy go home and compensate him with money. The troubled little boy timidly told his father what had happened. Because my father was still young, he didn't show mercy. He just kept a straight face and said nothing. The mother sitting next to her always intercedes for her son and enlightens her father. I don't know how long it took, but my father said coldly, "Although the family has money, he is responsible for his mistakes." After a pause, the father took out the money and said to the little boy seriously, "I will lend you this 15 dollar for the time being, but you must try to pay it back to me." The little boy took money from his father and ran quickly to compensate the old man. Since then, the little boy has been studying hard and working in his spare time to earn money to pay back his father. Being small and unable to do heavy work, they went to restaurants to help others wash dishes, and some even picked up junk. After several months of hard work, he finally earned $65,438+05 and proudly gave it to his father. Father patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "A person who can be responsible for his own negligence will surely succeed in the future." Many years later, the boy became the president of the United States of America. He was Reagan. Later, when Reagan recalled the past, he said with deep feelings: After that trouble, I learned the basket on my back. 3.

A letter from the other side of the ocean: Street View Ming Building in Poyang, Wuhan was built at 19 17, with six floors. 1997, that is, the building spent a long day of 80 spring and autumn, and suddenly received a letter from the design firm of that year from Britain far across the ocean. Letter: Jingming Building was designed by our company, 19 17, with a design life of 80 years, which has expired. If you use it again, it will expire. Please pay attention. (80 years, not to mention designers, even construction workers, I'm afraid I can't live. There are still people who care about it and are still guarding a responsibility and a promise. A young girl went to Tokyo Imperial Hotel as a waitress, which was her first job when she got wet. But she never imagined that the boss would arrange for her to clean the toilet! The boss demands very high quality of her work: the toilet must be cleaned as new! What shall we do? Just accept the job. Or find another job? An ancestor saw her hesitant attitude and quietly demonstrated it for her. When he washed the toilet as clean as new, he actually scooped up a bowl of water from it and drank it! The attitude of the ancestors towards work made her understand what work is and what responsibility is. From then on, she took the first step of her career beautifully and embarked on the road to success. Naturally, the toilet she cleaned has always been as clean as new, and she has drunk the water in the toilet more than once. After several decades, she is now the post minister of Japan. Her name is Seiko Noda. If it were you, would you dare to scoop water from the toilet you washed? Pursuing perfection in work is also the embodiment of work responsibility. ) 6. A company is going to lay off employees, and the list of layoffs has been announced. Xiao Can and Xiao Yan, who have internal affairs departments, need to leave their jobs in 1 month. On that day, everyone looked at them carefully and dared not say a word. Because their eyes are red, it's hard for anyone to accept. When I went to work the next day, Xiao Can held her breath and was still very excited. There is nothing she can do. One moment she cried to her colleagues, the other she avenged the director. What she should do, such as ordering lunch, delivering documents, sending and receiving letters, is all left aside and others have to do it for her. Xiaoyan, however, cried all night, but she was very sad. There are still 1 month before she leaves, and she wants to do her work, so she silently turns on the computer and the keyboard to continue typing and informing. Colleagues know that she is going to be laid off, and they are embarrassed to let her type again. She greeted everyone and took the job on her own initiative. She said, "This is a blessing, not a curse, but a curse. That's it anyway. It is better to finish this month and have no chance to work for you in the future. " So, my colleague said, "Xiaoyan, type this out quickly!" " ""Xiaoyan, take this out! "Xiaoyan always swears, clicks her fingers quickly, works hard to copy, is on call, and sticks to her post and responsibilities. 1 month later, Xiao can was laid off as scheduled, but Xiao Yan was deleted from the layoff list and stayed. The director announced the boss's words in public: "Xiaoyan's position can't be replaced by anyone. There can never be too many employee companies like Xiaoyan!" ""(Xiao Can left, how did Xiaoyan stay? It is a strong sense of work responsibility that gives Xiaoyan a chance. One day, an American journalist named Joyce came to Tokyo. She bought a 1 record player at Odayu Department Store and prepared to give it to her mother-in-law in Tokyo as a gift. The clerk was polite and smiling, and specially chose L's unopened machine for her. However, when she returned to her residence, she opened the package and tried it, only to find that the machine had no internal parts and could not be used at all. Gilles flew into a rage and prepared to go to the department store early the next morning to negotiate, and quickly wrote a press release "The True Face Behind the Smiling Face". The next morning, a car arrived at her residence. The general manager of Odayu Department Store and the staff carrying big suitcases got off. As soon as they entered the living room, they bowed their heads and apologized. Joyce doesn't know how the department store found her. The clerk opened the notebook and told the general story. It turned out that yesterday afternoon, when I counted the goods, I found a hollow sample sold to a customer. This matter is serious, and the general manager immediately called relevant personnel to discuss it. At that time, there were only two clues to follow, namely, the customer's name and a business card of American Express left by her. Based on this, the department store launched an action that is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. I called the emergency number 32 times and asked the major hotels in Tokyo, but there was no result. So, I called the headquarters of American Express, got a call back late at night, and got the phone number of the customer's parents in the United States. Then I called the United States to get the phone number of the customer's in-laws in Tokyo, and finally found the customer's residence. During this period, * * * made 35 emergency calls. After the clerk finished, the general manager presented 1 record player plus 1 record and 1 box of cakes, apologized again and left. As you can imagine, Joyce was moved. She immediately rewrote the press release with the title of "35 urgent calls". Without a sense of responsibility, there will be no action to find a needle in a haystack, and there will be no chance to correct mistakes in time. Today's market competition, in a sense, is the competition of responsibility! )
