一九五八年六月七日
……如果你是一滴水，你是否滋潤(rùn)了一寸土地？如果你是一線陽(yáng)光，你是否照亮了一分黑暗？如果你是一顆糧食，你是否哺育了有用的生命？如果你是一顆最小的螺絲釘，你是否永遠(yuǎn)守在你生活的崗位上？如果你要告訴我們什么思想，你是否在日夜宣揚(yáng)那最美麗的理想？你既然活著，你又是否為了未來(lái)的人類生活付出你的勞動(dòng)，使世界一天天變得更美麗？我想問(wèn)你，為未來(lái)帶來(lái)了什么？在生活的倉(cāng)庫(kù)里，我們不應(yīng)該只是個(gè)無(wú)窮盡的支付者。
June 7, 1958
“If you were one drop of water, do you moisten the field? If you were a ray of sunshine, do you brighten the darkness? If you were a morsel of food, do you provide others with nutrition? If you were the tiniest bolt, do you stay in place and fulfill your duty? If you want to tell others your ideals, do you preach them day and night? When you are alive do you always remember to work hard and realize your efforts will affect future lives and let the world become more beautiful day by day? I want to ask you: What do you contribute to the future? In life you must be a giver and not just a taker.”
