西点英语monster与你分享关于“执行力”的小故事
耶稣带着他的门徒彼得远行.途中,他们发现了一块破烂的马蹄铁.
耶稣让彼得把这块马蹄铁捡起来,但彼得懒得弯腰,假装没有听见.
耶稣自己弯腰捡起了马蹄铁,用它在铁匠那儿换来3文钱,并用这些钱买了18颗樱桃.
出了城,师徒二人继续前行.他们经过的是茫茫荒野,土地干涸.耶稣猜到彼得渴得厉害,就把藏在袖子里的樱桃悄悄地掉出一颗.彼得一见樱桃,赶紧捡起来把它吃掉.
耶稣边走边“掉”樱桃,彼得也就只得费力地弯了18次腰.
耶稣笑着对彼得说：“如果一开始你能按我要求的做,你只要开始时弯一次腰就行了,就不会在后来没完没了地弯腰了.”
彼得因为没有按照耶稣的要求去做,所以给自己带来了很大的麻烦,不得不弯腰18次.如果他一开始就能“落实”耶稣的指示,他只要弯下一次腰就行了.
事实证明：如果不能有效地落实,就不可能顺利地吃上“樱桃”,甚至吃不上“樱桃”.
故事二：巴顿选将
我要提拔人时常常把所有的候选人排到一起,给他们提一个我想要他们解决的问题.我说：“伙计们,我要在仓库后面挖一条战壕,8英尺长,3英尺宽,6英寸深.”我就告诉他们那么多.我有一个带后窗户的仓库.候选人正在检查工具时,我走进仓库,通过窗户观察他们.
我看到伙计们把锹和镐都放到仓库后面的地上.他们休息几分钟后开始议论我为什么要他们挖这么浅的战壕.他们有的说6英寸还不够当火炮掩体.其他人争论说,这样的战壕太热或太冷.如果伙计们是军官,他们会抱怨他们不该干挖战壕这么普通的体力劳动.最后,有个伙计对别人下命令：“让我们把战壕挖好后离开这里吧,那个老畜牲想用战壕干什么都没关系.”
最后,巴顿写道：“那个伙计得到了提拔,我必须挑选不找任何借口地完成任务的人.”

The Old Cat
An old woman had a cat. The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.
Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."
老猫
一位老妇有只猫,这只猫很老,它跑不快了,也咬不了东西,因为它年纪太大了.一天,老猫发现一只老鼠,它跳过去抓这只老鼠,然而,它咬不住这只老鼠.因此,老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了,因为老猫咬不了它.
于是,老妇很生气,因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死.她开始打这只猫,猫说：“不要打你的老仆人,我已经为你服务了很多年,而且还愿意为你效劳,但是,我实在太老了,对年纪大的不要这么无情,要记住老年人在年青时所做过的有益的事情.”
A man was going to the house of some rich person. As he went along the road, he saw a box of good apples at the side of the road. He said, "I do not want to eat those apples; for the rich man will give me much food; he will give me very nice food to eat." Then he took the apples and threw them away into the dust.
He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
一个人正朝着一个富人的房子走去,当他沿着路走时,在路的一边他发现一箱好苹果,他说：“我不打算吃那些苹果,因为富人会给我更多的食物,他会给我很好吃的东西.”然后他拿起苹果,一把扔到土里去.
他继续走,来到河边,河涨水了,因此,他到不了河对岸,他等了一会儿,然后他说：“今天我去不了富人家了,因为我不能渡过河.”
他开始回家,那天他没有吃东西.他就开始去找吃的,他找到苹果,很高兴地把它们从尘土中翻出来吃了.
不要把好东西扔掉,换个时候你会觉得它们大有用处.
The City Mouse and the Country Mouse
Once there were two mice. They were friends. One mouse lived in the country; the other mouse lived in the city. After many years the Country mouse saw the City mouse; he said, "Do come and see me at my house in the country." So the City mouse went. The City mouse said, "This food is not good, and your house is not good. Why do you live in a hole in the field? You should come and live in the city. You would live in a nice house made of stone. You would have nice food to eat. You must come and see me at my house in the city."
The Country mouse went to the house of the City mouse. It was a very good house. Nice food was set ready for them to eat. But just as they began to eat they heard a great noise. The City mouse cried, " Run! Run! The cat is coming!" They ran away quickly and hid.
After some time they came out. When they came out, the Country mouse said, "I do not like living in the city. I like living in my hole in the field. For it is nicer to be poor and happy, than to be rich and afraid."
城里老鼠和乡下老鼠
从前,有两只老鼠,它们是好朋友.一只老鼠居住在乡村,另一只住在城里.很多年以后,乡下老鼠碰到城里老鼠,它说：“你一定要来我乡下的家看看.”于是,城里老鼠就去了.乡下老鼠领着它到了一块田地上它自己的家里.它把所有最精美食物都找出来给城里老鼠.城里老鼠说：“这东西不好吃,你的家也不好,你为什么住在田野的地洞里呢?你应该搬到城里去住,你能住上用石头造的漂亮房子,还会吃上美味佳肴,你应该到我城里的家看看.”
乡下老鼠就到城里老鼠的家去.房子十分漂亮,好吃的东西也为他们摆好了.可是正当他们要开始吃的时候,听见很大的一阵响声,城里的老鼠叫喊起来：“快跑!快跑!猫来了!”他们飞快地跑开躲藏起来.
过了一会儿,他们出来了.当他们出来时,乡下老鼠说：“我不喜欢住在城里,我喜欢住在田野我的洞里.因为这样虽然贫穷但是快乐自在,比起虽然富有却要过着提心吊胆的生活来说,要好些.”
