一天,在書上看到一道選擇題,覺得很有意思,便把它帶到單位,讓同事做出選擇:
One day, I came across a piece of multiple choice, thinking that was so interesting that I brought it to my company and shared it with my leagues.
1、今天一次性給你100萬元。
2、今天給你1元,連續(xù)30天每天都給你前一天2倍的錢。
你會選哪一個(gè)?結(jié)果所有的同事都選擇了1.
There were two choices for you: one was that giving you 1 million RMB at a time today, the other was that to give you 1 yuan today and in the next 30 days, you will be given the money which is twice as much as that have given to you the day before. Which one will be your last choice? The result turned that all of my leagues chose the former one.
然而,選擇1的,只能得到100萬元。而如果選擇2,卻能在第30天得到5億多元!當(dāng)我把這個(gè)結(jié)果說出來時(shí),同事們都不敢相信:第一天僅有1元,每天也只是比前一天增加一倍,怎么到了第30天就積蓄到5億多元呢?一些固執(zhí)者甚至運(yùn)用中學(xué)所學(xué)的數(shù)學(xué)知識來進(jìn)行驗(yàn)證,結(jié)果果然如此。
However, the one who select the former one can only get 1 million RMB while those who prefer to the second one can get 50 billion at last. When I told the result to them, they all couldn’t accept the fact that there only one yuan on first day and it just be twice as much as yesterday, how can it turn to such a mount of 50 billion at last? Some of them still behave stubborn and even use his knowledge to authenticate the fact. The result was the same as my explanation.
我想,這道選擇題帶給我們?nèi)松膯⑹臼巧羁痰模翰灰笸灰贡└?,因?yàn)橐灰贡└坏呢?cái)富總是有限的。
I think, from this multiple choice, we can draw a valuable lesson, that is do not expect to become a millionaire in overnight, because the fortune of become a millionaire in overnight is limited.
今天成功的起點(diǎn)再低,哪怕低到僅有“1元錢”,但只要你今天比昨天努力一點(diǎn),明天比今天努力一點(diǎn),每天努力一點(diǎn),每天進(jìn)步一點(diǎn),就能創(chuàng)造一個(gè)意想不到的奇跡。
The starting point of success today, even if it is low to only "1 yuan", but if you work harder today than yesterday, tomorrow than today, every day a little harder work, a bit of effort and progress every day, you will create a little one unexpected miracle.
人生成功的過程,是一個(gè)連續(xù)不斷努力的過程,是一個(gè)不斷堅(jiān)持、不斷超越的過程。
The procedure of one’s succeeding is a continuous process of hard, is a process of constant insist, continuously surpass.
