1914年12月的一天夜里,托马斯·爱迪生的实验制造厂被大火焚毁,使他损失了价值近100万美元的设备,以及大量宝贵的工作记录。次日清早,面对眼前的一片废墟,这位76岁的大发明家不停地踱来踱去。最后,他坦然道:“祸福相生。我们的错误全烧光了,这下子可以重新开始喽!”爱迪生懂得一个重要的处世原则:几乎任何事情——不论好事还是坏事,都要受人们对它的看法的影响。讲求实际的乐观主义者,看待问题冷静而达观,在灾祸面前表现得更为坚强。近 On one night in December 1914, Thomas Edison’s experimental manufacturing facility was destroyed by the fire, causing him to lose nearly $1 million worth of equipment and a large amount of valuable work records. Early in the morning, in the face of the immediate ruins, the 76-year-old inventor kept pounding around. In the end, he calmly said: “The good and the bad lives. Our mistakes are all burned out. Now we can start again!” Edison knows an important living principle: Almost anything - whether good or bad, is subject to People’s influence on its perception. Practical optimists are optimistic about the problem and look at the problem calmly to reach the point of view. They are even stronger in the face of disasters. near
