中英文小故事：每天都做重要的事 美国伯利恒钢铁公司曾经只是一个鲜为人知的小钢铁厂，短短年的时间，便—跃成为世界上最大的独立钢铁厂。 那么，是什么麂力促使了伯利恒钢铁公司的超常规发展呢？这全得益于美国效益专家艾维.利的一个金点子.他对公司总裁舒瓦普说：“在一张纸片上写下你明天要做的最重要的事，然后用数字标明每件事对你和你公司重要性的次序。第二天早上，你首先要做的，就是把纸片拿出来，做第一项最重要的事，而不是其他的，全力办第一件事，直至办完为止。然后用同样的方法对待第二项，第三项，直至你下班为止。如果只做完了第一件事，那不要紧，因为你总是在做最重要的事！” 伯利恒钢铁公司的发展壮大，就是因为每天都在做重要的事。 当你还在为小事斤斤计较、患得患失、烦恼不已时，是不是该提醒提醒自己：每天都做重要的事？因为人的时间和精力是有限的，过分在小事上劳心费神，就会荒废大事，甚至整个人生。 Do Important Things Every Day Bethlehem Steel Company in the USA, once a little-known small plant, became the world's largest independent steel works after just five years. So, what magic prompted the supernormal development of the steel company? It totally benefited from one gold idea of Elvialy. He told Suwap, the company’s president, “Write down the most important thing you are going to do on a piece of paper, then use the number to mark the order of importance of everything to you and your company. The next morning, the first thing you should do is to take out that piece of paper, try your best to do the most important thing； don't do any other until it has been done. Then set about the second important by the same approach, and the third, until you come off work. If you only finish the first thing, it doesn't matter, because you’re always doing the most important thing!” Bethlehem Steel Company developed and thrived because it was always doing important things every day. When you haggle over every ounce and are swayed by considerations of gain and loss, shouldn’t you remind yourself to do important things every day? For a man’s time and energy is limited, and care about small things too much will waste the great ones and your whole life. prompt 促进；激起 supernormal 异于寻常的；非凡的 approach 方法；途径 thrive 繁荣；兴旺；茁壮成长 haggle over斤斤计较 |
