  Who you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying. ——Ralph Waldo Emerson
  你是谁比你的更重要。——拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生
  
  It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend and proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, “How much is it to get in?”
  The young man replied, “$3.00 for you and $3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?”
  Bobby replied, “The lawyer’s three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I owe you $6.00.”
  The man at the ticket counter said, “Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three bucks. You could have told me that the older one was six?鸦 I wouldn’t have known the difference.” Bobby replied, “Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference.”
  As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Who you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.” In challenging times when ethics are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with.
  
  这是一个晴朗的周六午后,在俄克拉荷马市。我骄傲的父亲波比·刘易斯是我的朋友,他带着两个年幼的儿子去玩迷你高尔夫。他朝着售票台走过去,对着那个小伙子问道:“门票怎么卖?”
  那位年轻人回答:“你3美元,六岁以上的儿童也3美元,六岁以下的儿童可以免费入场,你的孩子们多大了?”
  波比回答:“律师三岁,医生七岁,那么我应该付给你6美元。”
  售票台那位先生说:“先生,你刚中了彩票还是发了财啊?你本可以为自己节约3美元的,你本可以告诉我大的孩子才六岁,我想我应该看不出分别的。”
  拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生说过:“你是谁比你说的更重要。”在这个伦理道德比以前更重要的挑战时代,你一定要为你身边那些一起工作和生活的所有人树立一个好榜样。
