P.T. 巴纳姆《赚钱的艺术》· The Art of Money Getting · 投资
An employee offers his services by saving, "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
巴纳姆用一段对话讲用人:第一个来求职的说“我有一双手,其中一根手指会思考”,雇主说不错。第二个说“我有两根手指会思考”,雇主说更好。第三个说“我所有手指和拇指都会思考”,雇主说那更好。最后一个人进来说“我有一个会思考的大脑,我全身都在思考,我既能干又能想”,雇主高兴地说“我要的就是你”。核心是:只会动手的人价值有限,能动手又能动脑的人才最抢手。做法是:别只出卖体力,把思考带进工作,让自己成为“全身都在想”的人。
上下文
这是巴纳姆《赚钱的艺术》中一段幽默比喻,用“会思考的手指”说明雇主真正想要什么样的人。
今日一问
你今天的工作里,有多少是动手,有多少是动脑?
