I attended a college which not only created an environment for attaining professional qualification but also ensured that every student left the college as an all-rounded individual.

　　The lecturers in this college were excellent. One of the lecturers, in particular, captured my attention most, not because of his tutorial skills but in the way he would always walk and leave no dirt or paper behind him. He would always bend over and pick any piece of paper lying on the floor and throw it to the nearest dustbin. On his way to the office, he would always move the dustbins to the right position if they were left by the cleaners in a wrong position.

　　Initially, when I watched him, I used to wonder, why bother? However, growing up with this picture in mind, I have come to follow the same practice. Walking down the street, I often unconsciously bend over to pick that piece of paper blown away by wind from the dustbin or thrown without care on the street and put it in the next litter bin. Passing through a clean street and seeing one piece of litter lying around just moves me to leave the place clean.

　　As I look at the puzzled faces around me whenever I do this, I often remember the story of the little girl who was walking on the beach and saw turtles (海龟) washed ashore (岸上) by the currents struggling to get back in the water. She picked them up one by one and threw them back in the water. One guy walking by asked her why bother since there were so many of them. She bent down, picked one up, looked at the guy and said, “I cannot save all of them, but I can sure make a difference to this one.” She then threw it back in the ocean.
