Responsibility is omnipresent. It is the duty for citizens to pick up the rubbish on the ground after a barbecue; it is the duty for students to work hard in and out of school; it is the duty for a man to support his family. Evidently, a person, whether common or great, should recognize their responsibility in life.
Being responsible is also a sign of transformation from a child to an adult. During my childhood, my father usually asked me to water the plants at home. Sometimes I might forget about it, but he would never get tired of reminding me of the task. As time passed by, this became my daily routine and habit deeply rooted in my heart. “I will never ever remind you again. It is your duty now.” he once said. This was my preliminary understanding of responsibility---sticking to your task.
When I became a monitor later, I learnt that my responsibility was to be a good role model in class, both in morality and grades. As a leader, i need not only to encourage the team to move forward, but also enhance the whole class’ cohesion. And the process was more like taking a test to see if you could handle it properly.
Responsibility is what you ask of yourself, after all. Everyone has different requirements of life. For example, some students are determined to study hard while others choose to waste their time. Sooner or later, the later will find themselves trapped in a dilemma, regretting not having fulfilled the responsibility of their own. So, we are supposed to take the responsibility readily, optimistically and actively.
责任无所不在。公民有义务在烧烤后捡起垃圾，学生有义务在学校努力学习，男人有义务抚养家庭。显然，无论是普通人还是伟人，我们都应该认识到自己在生活中的责任。负责任意味着从孩子转变为成年人。小时候，父亲经常让我给家里的植物浇水。我时常忘记，但他总是不厌其烦地提醒着我。逐渐，这成为我的生活习惯，深深扎根在心里。“我再也不会提醒你了。他说：“现在这是你的责任。”这是我对责任的初步理解——坚持你的任务。后来，当我成为班长，我意识到我的责任是在课堂上做一个品德和成绩上的好榜样。作为一个示范者，我不仅要鼓励团队前进，更要凝聚全班。每个人对生活的要求不同。例如，有人决心努力学习，而有人则选择浪费时间。或早或晚，当发现自己陷入困境，他们也会后悔没有履行自己的责任。因此，我们应该积极、乐观地承担责任。
