Unfolded in the elaborately painted cartoon is a thought-provoking scene: two men take different measures toward the fish in the lake — one just stares at them, while the other starts weaving the fish nets. Through this metaphor, the cartoonist poses a question: which is preferable, doing nothing or taking action?
This question demonstrates a widespread social phenomenon: many young adults, whether from universities or enterprises, are giants in thought but dwarfs in action. However, it is devoting oneself to practice that ensures long-term excellence.Examples abound, but this one suffices: Despite Huawei facing technical barriers, Ren Zhengfei, a renowned entrepreneur, has never merely admired advanced foreign technology. He spared no effort to enhance the technological strength and lead the company toward a leading position in the IT industry.
I used to wonder what I should do when encountering such a situation. Inspired by the motto — “It is better to make a net at home than to yearn for fish at the water’s edge.” — I am determined to put my ideas into practice, improve myself, and write my own chapter of life.
