TO BE OR NOT TO BE


'To be or not to be, that is the question' is a quote written by a famous English writer named William Shakespeare. It means when people are in a dilemma, there might be 2 difficult choices. 

One choice is to take the initiative to solve the problem; the second choice is to do nothing when you face a difficult problem. For example, two boats sail on the sea; there are 100 people in the big boat while there is only 1 person in the small boat. There is a button on the big boat. If someone presses the button, the small boat will explode and the person will die. However, if no one presses the button, the big boat will sink and the 100 people will die. So in this situation, someone who presses the button is 'to be', while someone do nothing is 'not to be'. Obviously, there is always no one single answer for this question.
