 　　Which Is More Important

　　As can be seen from the picture above, there is a conversation between a son and a father. The father told his son that it is more important to empty the dustbin than to worry about disposing of nuclear waste, that is to say, small things go first when dealing¹ with big things. I’m definitely on the father’s side in this and I’m sure I’m not alone.

　　A case in point is the successful launch of ShenZhou 10 spacecraft, which excites everyone and makes every feel proud of China. Behind this great event there are a host of detailed² things, called petty things, conducted by millions of scientists, who have devoted³ themselves to the mission. It is the petty things that contribute to the success, which reminds us of the significance of small things. We also take ourselves for example. It is acknowledged that before running we must learn to stand and walk building up a solid foundation for running. Although walking is considered as a trifle while running is treated as a great thing, walking is the first step.

　　As an old saying, One can’t Make a By Success without Bing Self reliant. So we should keep it in our mind that before accomplishing important tasks, perform small tasks. Only in this way can we make the highest eminence⁴.
