As the saying goes, “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for
a lifetime.” This is the way the charity organization Heifer International (国际小母牛慈善组织) wants to end
world hunger.
It began in the 1930s when an American farmer, Dan West, went to Spain to help people in need. He tried to
feed the people with milk. But it seemed that there would never be enough milk. It made him think that what they
needed was “not a cup, but a cow”.
Dan West returned to America. He worked together with some friends to find ways to end hunger. He
believed giving animals and providing training would stop world hunger. With his help, Heifer International was
set up.
On Heifer International’s website, you will see a list of animals like cows, chickens, pigs and even fish and
bees. You can offer help by buying some animals for one certain family. Those animals will have babies. With
more and more animals, these families will be able to support themselves. Once these families get better lives, they
will pass on the act of kindness to others. More importantly, you are buying the resources (资源) for programs run
by Heifer International to help more families.
The programs also help small-sized farms. As a rule, each farmer must give his animal’s first female ( 雄性)
baby to another in need. Heifer International also provides training on animals health and feeding. And these
farmers all agree to teach others what they have learned as another rule.
However, there is still a long way to go. The milk may run out. But if families have their own cows, they can
get plenty of milk to feed themselves. The organization wants the farmers to go on working together, helping each

Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus Cars, was once of motor racing’s most influential engineers. Between
1962 and 1978 Lotus won seven Formula One constructors championships. He summed up his philosophy as
“simplify, then add lightness”. It appears to be an uncommon insight. A paper published in Nature suggests that
humans struggle with subtractive(减法的) thinking. When asked to improve something, they tend to suggest
adding new things rather than removing what is already there, even when additions lead to subpar(低于标准的)
results.
The research was motivated by everyday observation rather than psychological theory, says Gabrielle Adams,
the paper’s first author, who cites folk wisdom such as “less is more” and “keep it simple”. Perhaps the need for
such reminders was evidence of a blind spot in people’s thinking?
Along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, Dr. Adams conducted a series of observational studies. In
one, when participants were asked to alter an essay they had written, 16% cut words while 80% added them.
Others gave similar results. Of 827 suggestions received by the new boss of an American university for how the
institution could be improved, 581 involved adding new things and just 70 suggested removing something.
