Comment on Gerald Tong (Kevin Wong)

Gerald Tong Said: my family and friends means most to me.I would do anything to protect them from harm.I would also be happy to protect my country as it is my home and where i stay.

Courage,selflessness,helpfulness.

Without courage, you would not have the guts to risk your life to save others when there is danger.Selflessness is important as sometimes we must think about others and not always thinking about ourself. Helpfulness is important as we must be willing to lend a hand to people in need if they are in need or danger.

My comment is that everyone must have courage, i agree. But, if you have the courage, you must be smart as well. If your friends were pinned down by enemy fire, you must be brave to save them. But you cannot run into the field and distract the enemy's fire. You would die and your friends would still be pinned.

Now, selflessness. If you always think about everyone else, you will always feel stressed. Also, if you give everything to everybody who is poor, you will also become poor as you have no possessions. No, the smart thing to do is to help those you can, not everybody.

Finally, you cannot be so helpful. I once was too helpful and sought to help everyone i could by teaching them. What happened was i did not complete my homework and stayed up late to finish it. Also, because of that, i fell asleep in classes and started to fail. No, that is not how to go. You should help, but not to the extremes.
