My first lesson is at a meeting. As we settle around the table I hear Meg, who is a recent operation, talking to Judith, the manager of our project. “Thank you so much for my daughters to their dance lessons last week.” “Don’t mention it,” Judith says, “It was nothing.”
Knowing how Judith’s schedule is, with her work, kids and aging parents, I find her driving Meg’s children to lessons unbelievably . I am about to say more about this when Donna, another colleague, enters the room . She apologizes for being late, saying she just hosted a lunch for her friends who are over seventy. “That is so nice of you,” I say, how busy she is, how she doesn’t like to cook and clean. “Oh,” she says, waving her hand, “It was nothing.” , I can still tell the in her voice. She did gain a sense of satisfaction from the entertainment offered to her friends.
Seeing their to help others selflessly, I start thinking about the concept of “nothing”, this way of living--- had it really been nothing or are they simply saying that? It to me that once I spent a whole afternoon after work helping a friend a speech she was going to deliver. I her to rearrange the sequence of the stories in the lecture to make it sound more . After the fifth try, she finally it. She hugged me with , saying thanks to me. I smiled and said it was nothing.
Suddenly, I realized that helping someone was really something to me. I learned that giving from the heart doesn’t mean sacrifice and hard work. The is finding something we love to do and finding someone who that something. Our generosity can benefit others ourselves. Once you have a good of it, it’s nothing. And it’s really something.

In animated films, we often have some lovely characters that make us laugh and relax. Look at the following three columns and know some of them.
The Penguins
Skipper and his fellow penguins were originally just supporting roles in animated film Madagascar (2005). But in 2008 they took leading roles in their own TV series, and in 2014 starred in the film Penguins of Madagascar. The penguins’ wisdom and humor not only appeal to kids, but also serve adult audiences well. So, it’s not surprising that they get their own movie. |
Scrat
A small and furry squirrel with a long tail from animated movie Ice Age (2002), Scrat played a supporting role but has won the hearts of both children and grown-ups with his persistence(毅力). In the film, his chasing after his prized acorn(橡子) causes an Earth-shattering geological event. Scrat is a big part in the lasting attraction of the movie series Ice Age. Today, Scrat has his own animated mini-movies. |
Puss in Boots
Originally a fairy tale written by French author Charles Perrault, Puss in Boots features a cat that helps his low-born master gain wealth and power through trickery(哄骗). The cat later appeared as a supporting role in Shrek 2 (2004), Shrek 3 (2007) and Shrek 4 (2010). In 2011, he had his own movie titled Puss in Boots. His lovable and funny characteristics easily break the boundaries between different ages of audiences. |
