仔细思考一下比尔.盖茨的话,我想我们就会发现是么是我们应该去做的。而不是去坚持一个我们根本就不喜欢的工作或者是专业。
其实这句话是说给我自己听的,不知道你是否有同感?
译文(仅供参考):2001年5月,美国内华达州的麦迪逊中学在入学考试时出了这样一个题目:比尔、盖茨的办公桌上有五个带锁的抽屉,分别贴着财富、兴趣、诚实、幸福、荣誉五个标签。盖茨总是只带一把钥匙而其它四把所在抽屉里,请问盖茨带的是哪一把钥匙?其它四把所在哪一个或哪几个抽屉里?
一位刚到美国的大陆学生,赶巧碰上这场考试,看到这个题目后,一下慌了手脚,因为他不知道这到底是一道语文题还是一道数学题。考试结束后他去问担保人—该校一名理事。理事告诉他,那是一道智能测试题,内容不在书上,也没有标准答案,每个人都可以根据自己的理解自由回答但是老师有权根据他的观点给一个分数。
那位大陆学生在这道就9分题上得了5分。老师认为他没答一个字,至少说明他是诚实的,凭这一点就应该给他一半以上的分数。但让他不理解的是,他的同桌答了这个题目却得了1分。同桌的答案是,茨带的是财富上的钥匙,其他的钥匙都锁在这个抽屉里。
后来那个大陆学生通过电子邮件把这道题发回国内,那位学生在邮件中对同学说现在我已知道盖茨到底拿的是哪一把钥匙了,凡是回答这把钥匙的,都得到这位大富豪的肯定会赞赏,你们是否愿意测试一下,说不定从中还会得到一些启发。
同学们给出了多少答案,我不得而知。但是据说以为聪明的同学登上美国麦迪逊中学的网站,他在网页上发现了比尔。盖茨给学校的回函。函件上写了这么一句话:在你最感兴趣的事物上,隐藏着你人生的秘密。
