Black or White
When I was in elementary school, I got into an argument with a boy in my class. The teacher 1 to teach us a very important lesson.
She brought us up to the front of the 2 and placed him on one side of her desk and 3 on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large, round object. I could 4 see that it was black. She asked the boy what color the object was. "White," he 5.
I couldn't 6 he said the object was white, when it was clearly black! Another
7 started between my classmate and me, this time about the 8 of the object.
The teacher told me to go 9 where the boy was standing 10 told him to come stand where I had been. We changed 11, and now she asked me what the color of the object was. I 12 answer, "White."
It was an object with two 13 colored sides, and from his viewpoint (视角) it was white. Only from my 14 it was black.
I have never 15 the lesson I learned that day. Sometimes we need to look at the problem from the other person's viewpoint in order to truly understand his / her view.
