誠信的價值
惟雯說故事
哈里斯是美國紐約市一家知名廣告公司的高級職員。
2010年8月的一天中午,她和朋友在一家餐廳吃飯,中途朋友想出去抽支煙,於是兩人一起走出餐廳,站在外邊的大街上。
這時有一名流浪漢走近她,囁嚅地對她自我介紹:「我叫瓦倫丁,今年32歲,失業三年了,只靠乞討度日。我想說的是,不知您是否願意幫助我,比如給我一點零錢,讓我買點生活必需品。」
瓦倫丁說完後,用期盼的眼神望著哈里斯。
看著眼前這名年輕的黑人流浪漢,哈里斯動了惻隱之心,她微笑著對瓦倫丁說:「沒問題,我十分願意幫助你。」
哈里斯就伸進口袋去掏錢,遺憾的是,她身上沒有帶現金,只帶著一張信用卡,這讓她有點尷尬,她拿著信用卡,不知怎麼辦。
瓦倫丁看出了她的難為情,小聲說:「如果您相信我,能將這張信用卡借我用嗎?」
心地善良的哈里斯同意了,隨手將信用卡遞給瓦倫丁。
拿到信用卡後,瓦倫丁沒有馬上離開,小聲徵求哈裏斯:「我除了買些生活必需品外,還能再買瓶水嗎?」
哈里斯未加思索地說:「完全可以,如果你還需要什麼,可以用卡上的錢去買。」
瓦倫丁拿著信用卡離開後,哈里斯和朋友重新回到了餐廳。
當坐下來不久,哈里斯開始懷疑和後悔,她懊喪地對朋友說:「我的信用卡不僅沒有設置密碼,裏面還有十萬美金,那個人一定拿著信用卡跑掉,這下我倒大霉了。」
朋友埋怨她說:「你那麼隨便相信一個陌生人,妳就是善良又天真呀!」
哈里斯沒心思吃飯,朋友付完帳後,兩人默默走出了餐廳。
令他們意外的是,剛走出來就發現瓦倫丁已經等在外面,雙手將信用卡遞給哈里斯,恭敬地將消費的數額報上:「我一共用卡消費了25美元,買了一些洗漱用品和兩瓶水,請您核查一下。」
面對這位誠實守信的流浪漢,哈里斯和朋友詫異又感動,她不由自主抓住瓦倫丁,連連地說:「謝謝您,謝謝您!」
瓦倫丁一臉疑惑,她幫助我,應該感謝她才是,為什麼要感謝我呢?
隨後,哈里斯和朋友去了紐約郵報,將她剛發生的事告訴了報社。
紐約郵報也被瓦倫丁的誠實感動,予以報導,頓時在社會上引起巨大的迴響,報社不斷接到讀者的來信來電,表示願意幫助瓦倫丁。
得克薩斯州一名商人看了報導後,於第二天給瓦倫丁匯了6000美元,以獎賞他的誠實。
更讓瓦倫丁驚喜的是,幾天後他又接到威斯康辛州航空公司的電話,表示願意招聘他擔任公司的空中服務員,通知他盡快簽訂工作協議。
沉浸在巨大喜悅中的瓦倫丁感慨地說:「從小母親就教育我,做人一定要誠實守信,即使身無分文流落街頭,也不能夠把誠信丟掉。我所以能得到這麼多人的幫助,是因為我始終相信,誠實的人,總必會有好報!」
默想︰
我們一生之中有一樣最珍貴的東西,便是我們自己的誠信,切勿為了名利和私慾,將它丟掉。誠信一失,我們很難將它找回來!
