Social Responsibility

Someone said you (or your company) have to win before you can say anything about social responsibility, and I doubt about this when I first heard about it (and later read about it). Guess what, I saw a real life counter example this morning.

This morning, I saw a beggar searched around inside a rubbish bin, guess what, he found a packet of lemon tea. It's not finished and I guess there's at least 20% content left inside.

Guess what? He didn't drink it.

He used it to extinguish a fire in the rubbish bin caused by careless smokers who left their cigarette there!

This is social responsibility!

You know, none of the people will do this kind of things. But as a beggar, he hesisted nothing and proceeded to find the best way he could do to the small fire!

While you might think it's a small thing, I considered it a big thing! Don't look down on yourself when you have no money, no power. Do look down on yourself if you are just trying to find an excuse to ignore your responsibilities!
