[00:02.03]As is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon,
[00:05.68]supporting each other with their firm hands,
[00:08.26]two handicapped adolescents are continuing their new journey on the ground.
[00:13.04]Crutches left behind, they have successfully cracked the hard nut of lameness
[00:19.12]which might have confused the majority of the disabled.
[00:22.39]The caption indicates,
[00:24.51]"You have merely one leg and so do I. Helping each other, we can travel all around."
[00:30.76]Undoubtedly, we can deduce from the portrayal that the cartoonist is trying to attract our attention to the issue of cooperation.
[00:40.44]According to a survey conducted among a group of people who were in the same college class ten years ago,
[00:47.33]those who are ready to give their cooperation to others all became rich or managers of all fields,
[00:53.78]while not a single young man having difficulty in getting along with their classmates becomes an executive or a boss.
[01:01.13]Why those who are excellent in team work tend to be managers or run their own enterprise in their later life?
[01:08.33]The answer seems self-evident.
[01:11.39]On the one hand, if you are competent in profession
[01:15.02]but have difficulty in getting along with your colleagues and even your boss,
[01:19.63]you can hardly survive the corporation.
[01:22.36]On the other hand, your chances of success are much higher with wide circle of friends
[01:28.64]who are willing to corporate with you to provide information and resources.
[01:33.42]It is my view that, first and foremost,
[01:36.60]we can frequently use the drawing to enlighten the juvenile to learn to cooperate successfully with each other.
[01:43.82]Furthermore, whatever difficulty or situation we are confronted with,
[01:48.65]those who have the spirit of cooperation and team work are nearer to success.
[01:53.93]Just as John Adams, the second U.S. president quoted from the ancient Greek Aesop's Fables,
[02:00.38] "United we stand, divided we fall."
