The Silent Group

Today, I went into one of the forums, and read in one of the contributions. It said that the writer discovered one of her colleagues, was a participant in the PSS Female Category. The writer showed her surprise, but acknowledge her colleague was brave and great.

In fact, people around us may be great; but they choose not to mention about themselves. As Chinese proverb says: Sitting Tigers and crouching dragons(Wo Hu Cang Long). We would only know them when they are reported in the press, or become the limelight of the media. This is why most of the educators believe that everybody has his talent. It is only depend on the particular person, would he want to explore his talent to the fullest or not.

When I was young, I witnessed a fight. The fight happened in the late 60s on the street. One of the opponents was wearing a pair of spectacles, look very scholar, and small in build. But to my surprise, in less than 2 minutes, his opponent run away with a broken nose. His opponent was very much bigger than him. Both fought with bare hands. Later, from my neighbours I understood that this little young man was practicing Chinese Kungfu for sometimes, and only his close friends know about it. He used it when he was bullied.

Later in my life, I also notice many rich persons, who keep themselves in very low key. But when come to contributions to charity, they will give generously; and always refused to use their names. In the contrary, there are lots of big mouths in the society that only know how to talk but no action or contribution.

Look at the volunteer social workers, they have done good deeds for the needed. But they do not boast themselves, nor to claim credits. I salute these people!

牛蛙

牛蛙

据说这世界上,有一种蛙,叫做牛蛙的。这种蛙,一遇到威胁时,便会将自已鼓起来,它可以将自已鼓到比自己大一倍的体积来吓唬敌人。但如果敌人知道它的底细,往往一脚就将它踩死!

人世间,何尝没有这种性格的人呢?人之所以自大,主要是困为自己有自卑感。自己对自己没有信心,只好自吹自擂,哗然取众。让不知底细的人,信以为真,瞒天过海。但是,这类人,往往只能骗人一时,但无法骗人一世。有朝一口,他的西洋镜被世人拆穿,则无脸见江东父老矣。到时,不知他的颜臉要埋在那一个粪坑!

唉哉!看到这种牛蛙式的人,不知是要同情他的愚昧,还是厌悪他那种虚伪的造作!
