What We Can Do

By Ralph Niere
"I can't do it" never yet accomplished anything; "I will try" has performed wonders.

Every one of us has our own capabilities and skills. These capabilities sometimes go out naturally. But, some are for us to discover. In order for us to discover those capabilities we have to go out of our comfort zone and try something new. By trying something new, we help change the situation of the people and the environment surrounding us. All of these come from our very own capabilities.

We people are afraid to show our skills and capabilities. We fear the discovery of our skills because we hate holding responsibility. If we continue to do this, what else can we do? We can do nothing. Let us stand and try something new. Only then, we can discover something new. Furthermore, after we discover something new, we can develop what we have discovered. Along with that development is the improvement of the situation of our fellowmen and our environment. If we just try, we can do wonders.

Through our skills and capabilities, we can do big things. These big things include helping those in need. We should not feel shame in helping others. Every one of us, young or old, rich or poor, needs help. No very rich person that has wealth greater than the treasures of the Earth that does not need help from a poor person. Also, no very poor person, poorer than a scavenging rat, that has nothing to do in order to help a wealthy man.
