竭盡全力
惟雯說故事
在美國西雅圖的一所著名教堂裏,有一位德高望重的牧師――戴爾‧泰勒,有一天,他向教會學校一個班的學生們講了下面這個寓言故事。
那年冬天,獵人帶著獵狗去打獵,獵人一槍擊中了一隻兔子的後腿,受傷的兔子拼命的逃生,獵狗在其後窮追不捨;可是追了一陣子,兔子跑得越來越遠,獵狗知道實在是追不上了,只好悻悻的回到獵人身邊。
獵人氣急敗壞的說:「你真沒用,連一隻受傷的兔子都追不到!」
獵狗聽了很不服氣地辯解道:「我已經盡力而為了呀!」
而兔子帶著槍傷成功的逃生回家了,兄弟們都圍過來驚訝的問它:「那隻獵狗很兇呀,你又帶了傷,是怎麽甩掉它的呢?」
兔子說:「它是盡力而為,我是竭盡全力呀!它沒追上我,最多挨一頓罵,而我若不竭盡全力的跑,可就沒命了呀!」
泰勒牧師講完故事之後,又向全班鄭重其事地承諾,誰要是能背出聖經「馬太福音」第五章到第七章的全部內容,他就邀請誰去西雅圖的「太空針高塔餐廳」參加免費聚餐。
「馬太福音」第五章到第七章的全部內容有幾萬字,而且不押韻,要背誦其全文無疑有相當大的難度;盡管到「太空針高塔餐廳」參加免費聚餐是許多學生夢寐以求的事情,但是幾乎所有的人都望而卻步。
幾天後,班中一個11歲的男孩,胸有成竹地站在泰勒牧師面前,從頭到尾的按要求背誦下來;竟然一字不漏,沒出一點差錯,而且到了最後,簡直成了文情並茂的朗誦。
泰勒牧師比別人更清楚,就是在成年的信徒中,能背誦這些篇幅的人也是罕見的,何況是一個孩子。
泰勒牧師在讚嘆男孩那驚人記憶力的同時,不禁好奇的問:「你為什麽能背下這麽長的文字呢?」
這個男孩不假思索的回答道:「我竭盡全力。」
16年後,這個男孩成了世界著名軟體公司的老闆。
他就是比爾‧蓋茨。
每個人都有極大的潛能,正如心理學家所指出的,一般人的潛能只被開發了2~8%左右,像愛因斯坦那樣偉大的大科學家,也只開發了12%左右。
一個人如果開發了50%的潛能,就可以背誦400本教科書,可以學完十幾所大學的課程,還可以掌握二十來種不同國家的語言;這就是說,我們還有90%的潛能處於「沈睡狀態」。
在這個競爭激烈的社會裡,人人都想成功,要想能出類拔萃、創造奇蹟,僅僅做到盡力而為還遠遠不夠,必須竭盡全力才行,如此,才能有機會站在終點享受那成功的果實。
試問,若您將自己的立場轉變為兔子及獵狗,您會做出何種選擇?
是選擇竭盡全力的人生,還是盡力而為的人生?
