Honesty
誠實(shí)
一個(gè)投資顧問決定自立門戶,成立她自己的公司。因?yàn)榫骱颓趭^,她的生意很快就越來越紅火了。于是不久,她就意識到她得請一個(gè)專門的法律顧問。這個(gè)投資銀行家就開始面試一些年輕的律師。
“我相信您一定能理解,” 她對第一個(gè)申請者說,“做我們這種生意的,個(gè)人信譽(yù)必須是毫無疑問的。”她往前湊了湊說,“Mayberry先生,您是個(gè)誠實(shí)的律師嗎?”
“誠實(shí)?”應(yīng)試者答道。“我告訴您一件有關(guān)誠實(shí)的事吧。我是如此誠實(shí),我爸借給我一萬五千美金上學(xué),我在接手第一個(gè)案子后就還清了每一分錢。”
“真不錯(cuò)。那是個(gè)什么樣的案子呢?” 投資顧問問。
他有點(diǎn)不安地扭了扭身子,承認(rèn)道,“我老爸為了那筆錢起訴我。”
