誠實是自己心中的原則
惟雯說故事
喬治是紐約市最優秀的執業律師,生意絡繹不絕,但他有個堅持,就是當他發現委託人隱藏案情或沒有誠實陳述,他便會立即拒絕為此人辯護;就算客戶願意提出更高的價碼聘請他,喬治也不為所動。
許多人笑他傻,總白白錯失大賺一筆的機會,一個朋友忍不住問他:「又沒有人知道他說謊,你為什麼這麼堅持呢?」
喬治微笑著,說出一段往事。
童年時,有一次父母帶我到遊樂場玩,那天天氣很熱,我吵著要吃霜淇淋。
父母帶我到了小吃攤,老闆邊幫我擠著霜淇淋,邊和父母攀談起來,三人聊得很愉快。
回程時,父親突然問母親:「那霜淇淋多少錢呢?」
母親則疑惑的反問:「不是你付的錢嗎?怎麼問我呢?」
結果一問之下,才知道兩人都以為對方付了錢,而老闆自己大概也忘了,我高興的在旁拍手說:「太好囉!吃到免費的霜淇淋!」
但父親突然正色道:「我們折回去吧!該付的錢,還是要付。」
當時我們離開已有一兩個鐘頭,遊樂場早就關了,父親想了想對母親說:「我們明天打電話過去說一聲,再把錢寄過去吧!」
我不解的問:「一支霜淇淋又沒多少錢,老闆一定早就忘啦!」
父親摸摸我的頭說:「不論價值多少、無論有沒有人知道,誠實是我們自己心中的原則,而不是要做給別人看的美德。」
喬治笑著說:「這也就是我如今堅持的原則啊!」
