A story about poor children's happy life

HC OB#5
On 10 March’s Honours College class, Prof. Udani show us a VCR. It’s a true story about the life of poor children in Philippines. In common days, they have little food for them to eat. Only their father or dependent person may bring them some chickens and bread that they picked up from rubbish bin in the fast food restaurant, in which rich people take meals. After watching the VCR, quite a lot of my classmates shed into tears. Firstly, it is terrible that I feel uncomfortable after I saw the VCR. I feel that it is unfair that we have such wonderful living conditions, with sufficient drinks and food. We do not have to suffer the hunger and poverty. Apart from this, it is also unfair for those poor kids to suffer such pain.
However, there is one scene that I will never forget. When the “family” begin to have their dinner. The “father” required his “kids” to pray before they begin to eat. Because I am not a Christian, and perhaps I am not familiar with the meaning of this ritual. Nevertheless, I can feel that they know whom to thank for with sincerity. I think this pure belief show that they really know the things that you have today are what you really need to treasure about.
In addition, I can find that those boys and girls are really happy and enjoyable when they know that they have food to eat. At that time they forget poverty, forget hunger. What in their mind is only hope, happiness and thankfulness. At that time, I am no longer sad about them. Instead of that I feel happy and delightful because of their smiles and laughter. No matter what you encounter in your life, to keep an optimistic living attitude is very important. Besides, I think it is also the responsibility for a leader to share happiness and spread the air of optimistic to infect others to have positive lives.
