做正確的事
惟雯說故事
這是一個真實的故事。
1892年，史坦福大學一名18歲的學生無力支付學費。
他是一名孤兒，不知道去哪裡籌錢。
他想出一個聰明的主意：他和一個朋友決定主辦一場校園音樂會來掙取他們的學費。
兩人找大鋼琴家帕德雷夫斯基幫忙，希望他能在音樂會上演奏。
帕德雷夫斯基的經理要求他們交2,000美元保證金。
雙方達成交易，兩男孩開始為音樂會忙碌。
可惜他們沒有賣出足夠的票，僅僅收入了1,600美元票款。
無奈之下，兩男孩找到帕德雷夫斯基，解釋他們的困境。
他們給了鋼琴家1,600美元，加上一張400美元的支票，並承諾盡快承兌這張支票。
令人驚訝的是，帕德雷夫斯基將錢還給男孩，讓他們拿去支付學雜費，剩下的錢再給他。
帕德雷夫斯基1919年成為波蘭總理，兼任外交部長，是一位偉大的領導人。
不幸的是，第一次世界大戰使波蘭變得滿目瘡痍，有150萬人挨餓。
帕德雷夫斯基向美國的食品管理局求助，局長是一個叫赫伯特•胡佛的人。一些報刊將胡佛稱作美國的「食品大王」和「食品權威」。
在1917年美國加入協約國陣營、對德宣戰之後幾天，胡佛受伍德羅•威爾遜總統之命成立美國食品管理局，以便為美國和協約國部隊提供足夠食物，同時保證美國國內民眾口糧，並繼續為飽受戰爭摧殘的歐洲國家提供救援。
胡佛答應了帕德雷夫斯基，迅速將成噸的糧食運往波蘭。
帕德雷夫斯基非常感激，他決定要親自當面向胡佛道謝。
當帕德雷夫斯基感謝胡佛高貴的善行時，胡佛不讓他說下去了。
他說：「你不應該感謝我，總理先生。你可能不記得這件事了，但是多年前，你幫助了兩名年輕學生上大學。我就是其中一個。」
胡佛後來成為美國第31任總統。
帕德雷夫斯基只是做了一件小小的善事，但是這件事卻凸顯出他是一個偉人。
有人會問：為什麼他要幫助兩個他不認識的人？
人生中，我們都經歷過這樣的情況，大多數人會想：「如果我幫助他們，我會得到什麼？」
但是真正的偉大的人會想：「如果我不幫助他們，他們會怎麼樣？」
他們做善事不是為了得到回報，而是因為這是正確的事情。
或許，這正是偉人成其為偉人、承天命完成造福民眾大業的原因。

Hmm it appears like your website ate my first comment (it was super long) so I guess I’ll just sum it up what I wrote and say, I’m thoroughly enjoying your blog. I too am an aspiring blog writer but I’m still new to the whole thing. Do you have any suggestions for newbie blog writers? I’d definitely appreciate it.
The next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as much as this one. I mean, I know it was my choice to read, but I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you could fix if you werent too busy looking for attention.
I am not very superb with English but I find this rattling leisurely to interpret.
