天津商学院 张玫:Heaven and Hell--Cooperation Marks the Difference

  Ladies and gentlemen,

  Have you ever heard the story called The Real Difference between the Heaven and the Hell?One day, a man asked the God about the hell and heaven. The God said:" Come along with me, I will show you the hell." They entered a room where a group of people sat around a pot of food. They were very hungry, because the spoons in their hands were so long that they could not put the food into their own mouths. They rushed to get the food but they still suffered from hunger. " The God and the man entered another room, which was the same with the first. But everyone there was happy and well-nourished, because they use the longhandle spoons to feed each other. The God smiled and said:" Here, in the heaven, they have learnt to help each other. That is what I am going to talk about today-----cooperation.

  Maybe some of you will say that:" Come on. This is such an old topic that it has been out of style." Well, if so. Are you sure the spirit of cooperation has been very common in the world? Just take a look around us. For we are the only children in the family, sometimes we are too proud to know that we need help. For the competition is rather fierce now, we have strong will to win every campaign, so sometimes we are not broad-minded enough and we consider every competitor as an enemy. What is more, some of us even don not know what cooperation is. In fact, cooperation is not a very hard task. Let me show you something. Please raise your right hand. Can you make a clap with a single hand? Certainly not. Please raise your left hand and clap. See? It works! It is very easy but it is a very typical cooperation. The Bible says:" Two are better than one. If two are together, they have heat. But how can one get warmed alone?" Therefore, if we care for each other and cooperate with each other, the world can progress at peace and in harmony.

  So my dear friends, please remember that we can achieve much more by working together rather than standing apart. Please remember that, divided, there is little we can do. United, there is little we cannot do. Please remember that cooperation marks the difference between the heaven and the hell, only if we cooperate, can we build our world into a real heaven!

  Thank you!
