作文题目：

Talking in the cartoon are two man, who are a boy and his father. The boy is worried about the expectable impacts the disposal of the nuclear waste may cause, while his father is telling him that what matters now should be emptying the dustbin in front of them.

It is the profound implication beneath the surface of this simple and sarcastic drawing that ought to be taken into account: one who can cope with small tasks first can then undertake something big. Taking a look around, we can easily find some students dreaming of their brilliant future but unwilling to attend classes or to do homework, some netizens worried about the fate of our nation but refusing to better themselves first, some officials claiming their determinations in making our society a better place but reluctant to give up parts of their own interests. Such phenomena collectively reflect the fact that some modern citizens, especially a number of young people, lack the spirit of "think big, down to earth". This can be chiefly due to the fact that these people are so lazy and blind that they are only in want of a fruitful outcome but never make any efforts. As a famous saying goes, you reap what you sow. Those who wants to fly but forget the power of the gravity will be sure to fall down on the ground and hurt badly as a result.

According, I suppose it is imperative for us young people to understand that all that matters to us now should be to better ourselves. Not only are we supposed to learn knowledge and to enhance our abilities, we also need to take seriously the assignments confronting us. I believe only after each of us manages to strengthen himself or herself will the problems worrying us now be settled in the days to come.
