放手硬币就会掉下去 （美国）哈维·麦凯 陈荣生 译
（图片欣赏——李健丽摄/湛江） 放手并不总是简单易做的事情。但是，千万不要让放手会失去某些东西的担心改变自己放手的决心。这里讲个小故事给大家听听： 某天，一小男孩拿一只很珍贵的花瓶玩。他将手伸进花瓶内，拔不出来了，就大声喊叫妈妈。他妈妈过来后，想帮他轻轻地将手滑出来，但她试了很多次，他的手仍然卡在花瓶内。 没办法，她只好打算将花瓶打碎，所以她说：“好吧，让我们再试多一次。打开你的手，让手指向外伸直，然后往上拔。” “哦，不，妈咪！”小男孩大声喊道。“我打开手我的硬币就会掉下去！” 由此可见，担忧是用昨天的问题来浪费今天的时间去打乱明天的机会。 （译自作者个人网站） 您若认为此文对教育有益，敬 请 传 阅、推 荐、转 载。 原文如下，若有问题，可留言，我将尽量回答。 If I do that I'll drop my quarter! Harvey Mackay Letting go is not always simple. But don't let worrying about what you might lose when you let go change your resolve. Consider the lesson this little fellow learned. A little boy was playing one day with a very valuable vase. When he put his hand inside it and couldn't pull it back out, he called for his mother. His mother tried gently to slide his hand free, but it remained stuck. She was ready to break the vase when she said, "Ok, let's try one more time. Open your hand and hold your fingers straight out and then pull." "Oh, no, mommy!" the boy cried. "If I do that I'll drop my quarter!" Mackay's Moral: Worry is wasting today's time to clutter up tomorrow's opportunities with yesterday's troubles. |
