What quote illustrates some excellent advice your father or grandfather gave you?你的爸爸或爺爺曾引用過哪些話給過你很棒的建議?

獲得2.6k好評的回答@Diane Meriwether

"Some money is too expensive."“有些金錢的代價太過昂貴?!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,我爸問我愿意貪污多少錢。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."我爸是個航天工程師,是個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):“你從小教我要誠實(shí)。根本就沒有什么錢能讓我去偷?!盉ut he wasn't having it.  "A thousand dollars?" he asked, "Ten thousand?"但是他并不接受這個回答?!耙磺澜穑俊彼麊柕?,“還是一萬?”"Will I get caught?"  “我會被抓嗎?”"No one who embezzles thinks they will get caught."“沒有哪個貪污的人會認(rèn)為自己會被抓。”"Ok, so it would have to be enough to escape the country and get a new identity."“好吧,那這些錢足夠我逃到國外并且獲得另一個身份?!?Which is?" he asked.“要多少?”他問。"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."“5000萬美金?!蔽艺f?!叭绻麄儼?000萬給了我,我覺得我可以逃過檢查然后拿走它?!?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?!艾F(xiàn)在開始,永遠(yuǎn)不要為了一盒筆或者一個三孔的打孔機(jī)而出賣了自己。如果你要的是5000萬美金,那就一分都不能少。”Five 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,惡魔會給你提供一條船?!边@是來自我圣人般的祖母的建議,但是聽起來像是來自于別人。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.每個人都有優(yōu)勢跟劣勢。聰明一點(diǎn),看清自己的和別人的優(yōu)勢跟劣勢。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?!?p>(來源:滬江)
