容易走的都是下坡路

他在一所大学做教授，90岁的时候，荏苒每天坚持工作8小时，不论春秋冬夏，也不论风霜雨雪。

他的秘书说：―他很衰弱，但是每天逼着自己从住的地方走过两个街口到办公室来，这段路要走一个小时，他却一定要走，因为这使他自觉有成就感。‖

有一天，有个大学生从他办公室里出来，捧着一大堆书，一脸不高兴的抱怨：―总是这一套。我问一个和简单的问题，他可以用一个‘是‘或‘否‘回答，却给我十几本书，说可以在这些书里找到我所要的答案。‖

他后来知道了这个学生的抱怨，微笑着说：―这就是我学到的读书方法，艰难费事的方法。那孩子如能好好的钻研这些书，就可以了解这个问题，将来也许能成为一个好律师。‖

这个90岁的老人就是曾任美国哈佛大学法学院院长的庞德。

有一位哲学家说：―你应该每一两天做一些你不想做的事。‖

这是人生进步的基础。

正如另一位哲人所说―容易走的都是下坡路。‖

All Slopes are Easy to Go

He was a professor. At the age of 90, he still work eight hours everyday regardless the season and weather.

His secretary said: ―He is extremely old, but he forced himself walk from his living place to office through two blocks. It would take him an hour, but he insisted to because it makes him get a sense of success. ‖

The other day, an university student step out from his office with a pile of books. He complained emotionally: ―He is always this man. He may answer me just with ‗yes‘ or ‗no‘ to my question. However, he always gave me dozens of books and suggests me to find the answer. ‖

Later, he knew what this student complained. He told with smile: ―This is the method I have learnt, a hard and troublesome way. If that kid could make full use of those books, he might know his question and maybe a good lawyer in the future.‖

This 90-year-old man was 庞德, who was the president of law college in Haward University.

Once a philosophist said: ―You should do some thing that you don not want to every one or two days.‖This is the foundation of life progress.Just like another phlosophist said: ―all slopes are easy to go.

公平的分配

一个炎热的下午，两个农民在一棵大树下乘凉。其中一个叫拉姆，另一个叫希亚。两个人都带着美味的面包充当午饭。拉姆带了3个面包，希亚带了5个。正当他们准备吃午饭的时候，一个商人路过此地。

―下午好，两位先生。‖商人向拉姆和希亚问候道。商人看起来又累又饿，所以拉姆和希亚邀请他和他们一起吃午饭。

―但是我们有三个人怎么分这三个面包呢?‖拉姆为难了。

―我们把面包放在一起，再把每个面包切成均等的三块。‖希亚建议道。 把面包切开后，他们把面包平均分成三份，每个人都不多也不少。

吃完面包后，商人坚持要给他们钱。拉姆和希亚推辞不掉，只好收下。 待商人离开后，两人一数金币的数量——8个。

―8个金币，两个人。我们就每人4个金币。‖拉姆说道。

―这不公平。‖西亚大声反对，―我有5个面包，你只有3个。所以我应该拿5个金币，你只能拿3个。‖

拉姆不想争吵，但他也不想给希亚5个金币。

―我们去找村长做裁决。他是个公正的人。‖拉姆说道。

他们来到村长毛尔维的家，把整个事情的经过告诉了他。毛尔维想了很久，最后说：―分配这笔钱的公平办法就是希亚拿7个金币，拉姆拿1个。‖

―什么?‖拉姆惊叫道。

―我为什么该得7个?‖希亚也觉得很奇怪。

当毛尔维把他的分配理由解释清楚后，拉姆和希亚打偶没有对这个分配再提出异议。

这真的是一个公平的裁决吗?

要知道毛尔维的裁决是否公平，就要先回答这些问题：

1、8个面包被切成了多少块?

2、每个人吃了多少块面包?

3、拉姆的面包被分成了多少块?

4、拉姆吃了8块面包，还剩几块留给商人?

5、希亚的面包被分成了多上块?

6、希亚吃了8块面包，还剩几块留给商人?

毛尔维决定只给拉姆一个硬币，而给希亚7个，是因为商人吃了8块面包，只有一块是从拉姆的面包中来的，而其余7块都是希亚的。

点示：我们愤愤不平，太多是因为我们只会算计，不会计算。

Just Allocation

In a hot afternoon, two farmers were enjoying the cool under the tree. One farmer called L and the other called X. both carried tasty bread as their lunch. Ltook three bread and X five. A businessman passed by when they were ready to have lunch.

―good afternoon, gentlemen.‖ The businessman greeted L and X. the businessman was tires and hungry. L and X invited him to have dinner together.

―But we three men how to separate three breads? ‖ L confused.

―Let‘s put the breads together, then divide every one into three equal parts.‖ X suggested.

Cutting and dividing the breads, they all got the exact one.

Eating up the breads, the businessman insisted to pay and L and X have no idea but to get it.

When the businessman went away, L and X counted the number of golden bills----eight.

―Eight bills, two person. Four bills every one.‖ L said.

―It‘s unjust,‖ X opposed loudly, ―I had five breads and you just three, so I should get five bills and you three.‖

L reluctant to argue, neither would he gave X five bills.

―Let‘s invite our village manager Morwey‘s house and tell all to him. ‖ Thinking for a while, Morwey replied: ―The just way to distribute these bill is X take seven bills and L one.‖

―Pardon?‖ L screamed.

―Why should I posses seven?‖ Xalso felt strange.

After Morwey explained his reason clearly, both Land X had no dispute on this allocation.

Was this really a just rule?

Answer these questions before you decide whether it was just or not:

1. How many small pieces the eight breads were divided into?

2. How many pieces every one ate?

3. How many small pieces did L‘s breads?

4. How many pieces L left for the businessman after he ate eight?

5. How many small pieces did X‘s breads were divided into?

6. How many pieces X left for the businessman after he ate eight?

The reason that Morwey only gave L one bill and X seven because the businessman ate eight pieces and only one was left from L‘s while other seven pieces from X.

Tips: we always indignant mostly because we are used to scheming, but not counting.

励志的英文故事赏析

事情有多重要

我有一个手提箱要给你，里面有100万美元现金。手提箱放在离你现在住的地方大约1小时车程的一幢大楼上，条件是：你要在2小时内到达那幢大楼。如果在2个小时之内到，我就把皮箱交给你，你就多了100万美元。但是只要你迟到一分钟，你就一分钱都得不到。那么你什么时候出发去拿幢大楼呢?

很多人会回答：―现在就去。‖你呢?

你出发了。跳上你的车，发动，向那幢大楼方向开去。你相当激动，计划着怎样花那100万美元。突然，路上堵车了，你的车子开不动了。你打开收音机，发现在你和那幢大楼之间发生了重大交通事故，你没有别的路可以到达那里。你会怎么办?你会打道回府吗?或者打开车门走出来，走路(跑步或雇用直升飞机或用别的方法)去那幢大楼?

如果你去看牙医，在路上也发生堵车，你肯定会转回家，跟牙医约另一天。 这两种情况为什么会不一样?因为出行的目的是不同的。如果你要做的事情对你非常重要，再大的困难你都会设法克服; 如果你觉得要做的事情不是很重要，遇到困难你就会放弃了。

所以，克服困难的最好的方法，就是把你要做的事情看得非常重要。

There is a suitcase for you with a million US dollar in .

The suitcase is placed in a building away from you about one hour driving. The condition is, you need to get there within two hours. If you did, I will give you the suitcase with a million US dollar. Or if you late for only one minute, nothing will you get. When would you get about?

Many would say: ―Now.‖ will you?

Now you set out. You hurry into your car, start it, drive for the building. You are so excited and wonder what to do about the one million US dollars. All of a sudden, you are stopped by the traffic jam. You turn on the radio and find there is no any way to get there because of the accident on your way. What will you do nest step? Go back? Or step out your car, go to the building on foot (running or employ a helicopter or other ways)?

If, you are on the way to the dentist‘s office and there is a traffic jam, surely you would turn back and appoit for another time.

Why is there difference between these two thins? Because of the destination. If it is quite important for you, you will conquer it, regardless any hardship; or if yit is not so serious, you may call it a day.

Therefore, the best way to face the difficulty is to make the thing a business.
