 Contributors approach the various 
situations in their life and workplace with 
a unique mindset. 
 This mindset we call, the ‘Contributor 
Mindset’.
 The first aspect of the Contributor Mindset is the 
Contributor’s willingness and capacity to find 
solutions. 
 When faced with a challenge, the Contributor’s first 
response is : “Can we find a solution?” This is unlike a 
Non-contributor who may respond to the challenge by 
trying a little and giving up, blaming others, or finding 
excuses to cover up the issue. But this is not all. The 
Contributor also finds a solution. 
 In other words, the Contributor develops the capacity 
to find solutions through continuous practice and 
learning from other Contributors.
Heroes 
brave people in Sichuan 
Earthquake, 2008
An earthquake, magnitude 8.0, struck Sichuan province of China at 2:28PM, 
May 12, 2008. The epicenter of the earthquake, Wenchuan, is about 90 miles 
from Chengdu. The earthquake released more energy than 500 atomic 
bombs, 30 times more than the Kobe earthquake in Japan, 1995. By May 19, 
there are more than 32,000 confirmed dead, more than 20,000 still missing, 
and more than 4.7 million houses collapsed or heavily damaged.
Cities close to the epicenter 
are flattened; whole mountains 
collapsed.
Devastation
Millions of people lost their beloved ones, their homes, their belongings. Yet 
there is no looting, no complaints, just people helping each other (CNN )
Within hours, people rushed to rescue. Blood donation lines run for 100 yards, and 
people waited hours to donate blood; within 24 hours, all major blood banks ran out 
storage space. The highway to the earthquake struck city Dujianyang (20 mile from 
Chengdu) was almost jammed one hour after the earthquake, not by people fleeing 
the aftershocks, but by volunteers, led by over 1,000 taxi drivers, came from Chengdu 
to rescue. 
Chen Guangbiao(陈光标), owner of a big construction company 1,500 miles from the 
disaster area, just 2 hour 30 minutes after the earthquake, started transporting 60 
construction machineries and led 120 volunteers to rescue. They arrived at the 
disaster area 24 hours later, almost the same time as Army Engineering Corp.
Medical workers provided care under extreme conditions; they even delivered 
many new born babies on the parking lot.
Wen Jiabao(温家宝), 66, Chinese Prime Minister, boarded on a plane 
30 minutes after the earthquake, and arrived in disaster area in 2 hours. 
He has been the chief of the rescue operation since then, working 
almost around clock at the frontline with rescue workers.
1,1000 paratroopers started boarding airplanes 2 hours after earthquake. Despite 
heavy rain, high wind and thick cloud, they jumped from over 20,000 foot high to 
remote mountain areas where they did not even know if there would be a place for 
them to land. The first jumped off plane was Senior Colonel Li Zhenbo(李振波), 51.
With roads buried by landslide and bad weather hammering airborne 
operations, a group of 600 soldiers and medical teams, let by Major 
General Xia Guofu(夏国富), 57, Commander in Chief of Sichuan Military 
District, walked 21 hours straight on foot in mountain area, carrying heavy 
relief supplies, risking landslide and falling rocks. They became the first 
group to arrive at the epicenter of the earthquake.
Soldiers and rescue workers working around clock to rescue people still buried. 
Unable to transport heavy machineries to the remote areas since roads are buried by 
landslides, they often have to use hands to move tons of concrete.
People are rushing to donate money. Many rich people donated in millions, but 
no one can match Xu Chao(徐超), 60, on the right. He is a homeless in 
Nanjing, 1000 miles from the disaster area. He saw the news and went to 
donate 5 Yuan in the morning. He said people in the disaster area were worse 
off than him because their lives were threatened. He came back in the 
afternoon, donated another 100 Yuan ($14). He explained that all he had were 
pennies and dimes, and he didn’t want to waste volunteer workers’ time to 
count them, so he went to the bank to change everything he had into one big 
bill. This is from a man who doesn’t have money to buy food for himself.
Song Xinying (宋馨懿), 3, pulled out from rubble after being buried for 2 days. 
She was in critical condition and lost a leg, but survived. Her parents hold each 
other’s hands and shoulders face to face to make an arch to shield her from the 
falling building. Her parents did not make it out.
A 5 year old boy was rescued after being buried under rubbles for 24 
hours. His left hand was broken, but he smiled and saluted to his 
rescuers. His smile made everybody cry.
Zhang Jiwang(张吉万), 11, carrying his 
sister Zhang Han(张韩), 3,walked 12 
hours straight to flee the disaster center.
Yuan Wentin(袁文婷), 26, first grade teacher. When the earthquake struck, 
she rushed to carry her stunned students from classroom on the 3rd floor to 
the ground. She managed to pull out most of her students, but the building 
collapsed when she was trying to pull out the last few. At the last moment of 
her life, she was trying to use her body to shield the students from falling 
concrete. 
Many teachers did the same thing. They are 谭千秋、张米亚、苟晓超、吴忠 
洪、杜正香......
This high school student was rescued from the collapsed building. She lost both 
legs, and her both hands are broken. The rescue workers were all in tears when 
they saw this. She smiled to them: “Be Brave!”
This baby, after being buried over 24 
hours, miraculously, was rescued 
unscratched. He is about 3-4 months 
old, and his mother kneeled down, 
pinned her head and hands on the 
ground to shielded him from the falling 
concrete, and milked him. His mother 
did not make it out. A rescue worker 
found his mom’s cell phone in his 
wrapper. It had a text message left by 
his mother: “Dear child, if you survive, 
please remember, Mom loves you 
forever…”
