After reading "margin call", which "build the bridge" passage is really exciting, that I so lazy people who could not help but go back a suspended sentence excerpt down:
Will - think about
Eric - Come , I signed, I don’t care about it anymore.
W- They will give you money.
A- I have already taken a lot of money
(silence)
Do you know that I originally built a bridge?
W-what?
A-Building a bridge
W-I never heard of it.
A-I was an engineer at the time.
A-The bridge runs from Toxbar, Ohio, to Mathef, West Virginia, 912 feet above the Ohio River. 12100 people cross this bridge every day. Counting the races at Wheeling and New Marton, the total distance across the bridge is 35 miles. Add it up, cars drive 847,000 miles on this bridge every day, or 25.41 million miles per month, or 349.2 million miles per year. The bridge saved so much distance.
I did such a project in 1986, which was 22 years ago. The life span of that bridge is probably 6 billion,708,240 miles on it. Let’s calculate 50 miles per hour, that’s 134,1648 hours, or 559,020 days. So just that bridge saved the lives of the residents in the two local communities in 1531, instead of wasting time in the damn car.

At the beginning of W-god in 1531, my attention was only Attracted by those dazzling numbers, but when I reacted, I was suddenly moved inexplicably. This is probably "social responsibility" or "professional responsibility".
In addition to the figures on the payroll, how many people still care about "what have I done for others/for this society/for this country/for this world"? It is said that the utilitarianism of the current generation is forced out by the general environment, but holding the sign of "I am a victim of this society" indifferent, isn't it an act of acquiescence and assistance?
I'm a doctor, and it's not a good profession these days. Everyone can't extricate themselves from being immersed in firewood, rice, oil, salt, and wisdom.
After returning to work after this year, I hope that I can simply record the medical history of the day after work every day. Just like the engineer Eric in the play. In this way, when I felt very confused and hurt one day, when I opened the book and found that I had helped so many people before, I was able to pluck up the courage, cheer up, and walk proudly and proudly.
