塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导
Sending across to a neighbour for a load of young oak which had been more than a year in drying, he soon had the fire blazing again and the metal melting and glittering. The wind was, however, still blowing with fury, and the rain falling heavily; so, to protect himself, Cellini had some tables with pieces of tapestry and old clothes brought to him, behind which he went on hurling the wood into the furnace. A mass of pewter was thrown in upon the other metal, and by stirring, sometimes with iron and sometimes with long poles, the whole soon became completely melted. At this juncture, when the trying moment was close at hand, a terrible noise as of a thunderbolt was heard, and a glittering of fire flashed before Cellini’s eyes. The cover of the furnace had burst, and the metal began to flow! Finding that it did not run with the proper velocity, Cellini rushed into the kitchen, bore away every piece of copper and pewter that it contained—some two hundred porringers, dishes, and kettles of different kinds—and threw them into the furnace. Then at length the metal flowed freely, and thus the splendid statue of Perseus was cast.

白话
切利尼向邻居借来一车晾了一年多的橡木，很快把火烧旺，金属重新熔化发亮。但风大雨急，他叫人搬来桌子和挂毯、旧衣服挡雨，自己在后面不停往炉里扔木柴。他又往炉里加了一块锡，用铁棍和长杆反复搅动，让金属完全熔化。就在关键时刻，炉盖炸开，火光一闪，金属开始流出。他发现流速不够，直接冲进厨房，把铜锅、锡盘、水壶等约两百件器皿全扔进炉子，金属这才畅流，名作《珀尔修斯》终于铸成。这说明成事往往靠临场应变和舍得下本钱。

切利尼在风雨交加、炉盖爆裂的危急关头，把厨房器皿全扔进炉子补足金属，最终铸成《珀尔修斯》。
今日一问
当事情卡在最后一步时，你舍得把“厨房里的锅”也扔进去吗？
