Chapter 3 Section 14 Responsibilities

[UK] William Barclay

Responsibility is the fountain that nourishes all things, and as long as it begins to flow, it will continue to flow.In the dedication agreement, it is the chapter of conscience, stamped with the words "duty to shirk".

For yourself, you have nothing else.Someone helps you, it is your good fortune.No one can help you, it's someone else's duty.No one should do anything for you because life is your own and you are responsible for yourself.This is man's responsibility to himself.

Responsibility is when we think how much the world and life owe us, but also feel how much we owe the world and life.The responsibility to others is that when you press your own wound with your hands, you are not limited by your own life and death, and you are sharing all the pain for the injured others.

Children should be taught that if they make a mistake, it is up to them to have the courage to bear it.In this way, when he grows up, he will gradually understand: his relationship with this world and what his responsibility is.At the same time, we have also fulfilled our responsibilities as parents and fulfilled our responsibilities for education.

Responsibility is something that the state allows every citizen to enjoy.And what responsibilities do citizens have to the state?Don't forget the word responsibility.To be irresponsible to others is to be irresponsible to oneself.

A person is a member of the family and a member of the society.If a person has fulfilled his responsibilities in these two aspects, then when the god of death comes suddenly, he will have a clear conscience and few regrets.

Duty ignores the pressure of doom.Even after drinking a lot of bitter juice, it will not be disorganized.The motto of responsibility is: "If a thing is as it is, it is so and cannot be changed."

Life feels good.It is the responsible kind of people who create this beautiful life.Because of their love for life, for human beings, for nature, and for all beautiful things, they realize themselves, and they are working hard to make contributions to society in order to fulfill their responsibilities.

The whole point of responsibility is that there are many things in this world that you must do, even though you may not like them.

There are many risky things in reality, and there is no guarantee that there will be no possibility of heartbreak.The only way to avoid choosing people who are afraid is to show a sense of responsibility.

Martin?Luther?King said: "Even if you are destined to be a street cleaner, you must devote yourself to your duty. Just like Michelangelo painted, Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. Dedicate yourself to the highest A job well done, let everyone stop and admire you, this cleaner did an outstanding job."

In essence, responsibility is an innate mission, and she accompanies every life from beginning to end.From the moment we come into the world to the time we leave this world, we have to fulfill our responsibilities every moment: responsibilities to family, responsibilities to work, responsibilities to society, responsibilities to life.If wisdom and ability are as precious as gold, then there is another thing that is even more precious, and that is the spirit of responsibility.A great man once said: "All experience in life must be ranked after the spirit of being responsible." Honesty is the premise of life and the ideological basis for a person to be able to keep one's word, and keeping one's word is the external manifestation of honesty.
