Question

In every school there is a ‘top’ crowd that sets the pace(榜样), while the others follow their lead. Let’s say the top crowd decides that it is smart to wear-bright red sweaters. Very soon everybody is wearing a bright red sweater. There is nothing wrong with that, except the fact that bright red is not suitable on some people at all. The situation can even become dangerous, if the top crowd decides that it is smart to drink or to drive cars at 70 miles an hour. Then the people who follow the lead are causing danger to people’s lives. They are like sheep being led to the slaughter(屠宰场).

Perhaps you have come across situations like these more than once in your life. In fact, at one time or another you probably did something you knew to be wrong. You may have excused yourself by saying, ‘The crowd does it.’ Well, let the crowd do it, but don’t do it yourself. Learn to say, ‘No.’ Make your own judgements(判断). If you know the crowd is planning something with which you disagree, have the courage to leave them politely. You’ll have the satisfaction(满足)of standing on your own feet.
