Disobedience Makes Progress(2)
Disobedient giants exist not only in scientists and tycoons, but also politicians. All of the great politicians possess the potential of rebellion. Take Martin Luther King Jr. for example. He was discontent with the fact that the whole society held a discrimination towards black people. Being desperate for fair treatment of his race, King led marches, made speeches and promoted strikes. Although he’d been put into jail several times, he never gave up struggling until the government agreed to make laws to protect the black. Now, every third Monday in January, Americans celebrate King’s birth to remind themselves of the disobedient hero.
In China, the General Designer of Modern Construction, Deng Xiaoping, is also a disobedient leader. He renovated the routine of developing a republican country. Deng broke the rule that all companies in China should be state-owned. He made China opened up to the world, encouraged private enterprises to compete and spared no effort to attract foreign investment. Deng’s innovative method of developing helped China to take on a new look.
Disobedience whips up innovation and creation. Looking through the history, we can see that we were benefiting from disobedience. And it will continue to be beneficial.
