伊索寓言:三个手艺人
The Three Tradesmen
A GREAT CITY was besieged, and its inhabitants were called together to consider the best means of protecting it from the enemy. A Bricklayer earnestly recommended bricks as affording the best material for an effective resistance. A Carpenter, with equal enthusiasm, proposed timber as a preferable method of defense. Upon which a Currier stood up and said, “Sirs, I differ from you altogether: there is no material for resistance equal to a covering of hides; and nothing so good as leather.”
Every man for himself.
三个手艺人
一座大城被敌军围困了,城中的居民们聚在一起,共同商议对抗敌人的办法。一个砌匠挺身而出,主张用砖块作为抵 材料;一个木匠毅然提议用木头来抗敌是最佳的方法;一个皮匠站起来说:「先生们,我不同意你们的意见。我认为作为抵 材料,没有一样东西比皮更好。」
这个故事带出的启示就是:人们都习惯於从自身角度考虑问题,总认为自己所熟悉的东西是最好的。
