P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 514
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
An employee offers his services by saying, “I have a pair of hands and one of my fingers thinks.” “That is very good,” says the employer. Another man comes along, and says “he has two fingers that think.” “Ah! that is better.” But a third calls in and says that “all his fingers and thumbs think.” That is better still. Finally another steps in, and says, “I have a brain that thinks; I think all over; I am a thinking as well as a working man!” “You are the man I want,” says the delighted employer.

白话
这段用比喻讲老板想要什么样的人。第一个来应聘的说:“我有一双手,其中一根手指会思考。”老板说不错。第二个说:“我有两根手指会思考。”老板说更好。第三个说:“我所有手指和拇指都会思考。”老板说更好。最后一个人说:“我有个会思考的大脑,我全身都在思考,我既是干活的人,也是动脑的人。”老板高兴地说:“我要的就是你。”意思很直白:只会出力气的人到处都有,能带着脑子干活、主动想问题的人,才是老板最想要的。
