只有璀璨的珍珠才顯眼

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

湯姆的學習成績挺好,畢業後卻屢次碰壁,一直找不到工作.他覺得自己懷才不遇,對社會感到非常失望。他為沒有伯樂來常識他這匹“千裏馬”而憤慨,甚至因傷心而絕望。

懷著極度的痛苦,他來到大海邊,打算就此結束自己的生命。pearl.jpg

正當他即將被海水淹沒的時候,一位老人救起了他。老人問:“你為什麽要走絕路?”

湯姆說:“我得不到別人和社會的承認,沒有人欣賞我,所以覺得人生沒有意義。”

老人從腳下的沙灘上撿起一粒沙子,讓年輕人看了看,隨手扔在了地下。然後對湯姆說:“你能把那粒沙子撿起來嗎?”

“這根本不可能!”湯姆低頭看了一下說。老人沒有說話,從自己的口袋裏掏出一顆晶瑩剔透的珍珠,隨手扔在了沙灘上。然後對湯姆說:“這能把這顆珍珠撿起來嗎?”

“當然能!”

“那你就應該明白自己的境遇了吧?你要認識到,現在你自己還不是一顆珍珠,所以你不能苛求別人立即承認你。如果要別人承認,那你就要想辦法使自己變一顆珍珠才行。”湯姆低頭沉思,半響無語。

有時候,你必須承認自己只是普通的沙粒,而不是價值連城的珍珠。你要出人頭地,必須要不斷提高自己的能力,有出類拔萃的資本才行。
