"Some money is too expensive."“有些金錢(qián)的代價(jià)太過(guò)昂貴?!盬hen I got my first grown-up job after college my dad asked me how much money I'd be willing to embezzle. 大學(xué)畢業(yè)后,我得到了成年后的第一份工作,我爸問(wèn)我愿意貪污多少錢(qián)。My dad was an aerospace engineer, one of the most straight-edge ethical men you can imagine. So I told him the truth, "You raised me to be honest. There is no amount of money that could induce me to steal."我爸是個(gè)航天工程師,是個(gè)你能想象的那種最正直最講道德的人。所以我告訴了他事實(shí):“你從小教我要誠(chéng)實(shí)。根本就沒(méi)有什么錢(qián)能讓我去偷?!盉ut he wasn't having it. "A thousand dollars?" he asked, "Ten thousand?"但是他并不接受這個(gè)回答?!耙磺澜穑俊彼麊?wèn)道,“還是一萬(wàn)?”"Will I get caught?" “我會(huì)被抓嗎?”"No one who embezzles thinks they will get caught."“沒(méi)有哪個(gè)貪污的人會(huì)認(rèn)為自己會(huì)被抓?!?Ok, so it would have to be enough to escape the country and get a new identity."“好吧,那這些錢(qián)足夠我逃到國(guó)外并且獲得另一個(gè)身份?!?Which is?" he asked.“要多少?”他問(wèn)。"Fifty million dollars." I said. "If they left fifty million with me and I thought I could get away scout free, I might take it."“5000萬(wàn)美金。”我說(shuō)?!叭绻麄儼?000萬(wàn)給了我,我覺(jué)得我可以逃過(guò)檢查然后拿走它?!?Excellent," he said. "Now never sell out for a box of pens and a three hole punch. If fifty million dollars is your price, never steal a penny less."“好,”他說(shuō)。“現(xiàn)在開(kāi)始,永遠(yuǎn)不要為了一盒筆或者一個(gè)三孔的打孔機(jī)而出賣(mài)了自己。如果你要的是5000萬(wàn)美金,那就一分都不能少?!盕ive advice more.另外的5條建議。1) "If you stand on the shores of temptation, the devil will row you a boat." I attribute this sage advice to my grandmother, but it is likely from another source. Do not put yourself in situations to be tempted.“如果你正站在誘惑湖畔旁,惡魔會(huì)給你提供一條船?!边@是來(lái)自我圣人般的祖母的建議,但是聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是來(lái)自于別人。別讓自己陷入誘惑的境地。2) Each individual has strengths and weaknesses. Be smart enough to recognize not only your own strengths and weaknesses, but also the strengths and weaknesses of others.每個(gè)人都有優(yōu)勢(shì)跟劣勢(shì)。聰明一點(diǎn),看清自己的和別人的優(yōu)勢(shì)跟劣勢(shì)。3) Find something to appreciate in everything and everyone.不管什么人、什么事,都要找到其閃光點(diǎn)。4) Surround yourself with the type of people you want to be.跟那些你想要成為和他們一樣的人在一起。5) Direct quote from my father - "Son. You are intelligent. Use your powers for good."直接引用自我的父親:“兒子,你很聰明。把你的能力用在好的地方。”
