Rabbit and Hound

There is a story in Aesop's Fables: The hound chased a rabbit for a long time but could not catch it. When the shepherd saw it, he sneered and said, "Look at that little one, it's still running faster than you!" The hound replied, "You don't realize that we are different! I run only for a meal, but they run for their lives."

This story tells us that when we work just for a meal, even a hound as strong as a hound is no match for a weak rabbit running for its life.

This story reminds me of the thousands of "Canyou" in the "Canyou group".

Why do we say that people with disabilities are "disadvantaged people who are empowered by high technology"? It is not only that high-tech and accessibility have shielded the weaknesses of the disabled, but more importantly, the disabled are on this platform, not just for a meal, but like rabbits running for their lives - if they don't, they won't be able to survive! If not, there will be no more opportunities! There is no way to reflect the value of life!

Therefore, the Canyou have created countless miracles of life and career in their forgetful efforts. They run like the rabbit that fights for its life and is followed by not only the hounds, but also the tigers. We understand why Liu Yong, one of the patriarchs of Canyou, could not go to bed for 9 months to learn web design desperately and get the fifth place in the International Web Design Competition after 13 months; we can understand that Li Hong, the first person of Canyou Software and seriously ill and disabled, raced with life and surpassed himself to get the fifth place in the International Programming Competition; and we also understand the Canyou Spiritual Leader, who snatched time with life. Zheng Weining, focusing all the remaining energy of his life on the development of Handicapped Friends, creating the Handicapped Friends model, and starting dozens of social enterprises on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and in four places while saving lives through blood transfusions, so that more people with disabilities can benefit from the ...... thus understanding what motivation drives the rapid development of Handicapped Friends.

We have also seen many difficult public welfare organizations refused to give up, always insisted in the hardship, but also in the midst of the difficulties to survive, but also because they are not to work for a meal, they have a stronger mission, as life-saving general.

The story of the rabbit and the hound reminds me a lot of One Foundation's "Run for Love" program. When we run like a rabbit being chased by a hound, what kind of speed can we not achieve? What kind of speed can't be achieved? What kind of miracle can't be created? In this new public welfare time, let's run together!
