肯和艾伦是中学时的朋友，后来他们上了大学，有了不同的工作。艾伦成为一名社会工作者，帮助贫困家庭。肯成为一名计算机顾问，成立了自己的公司，变得相当富有。 艾伦十分喜爱自己的工作，也充分感到他对所帮助家庭的影响：当他在新闻中看到肯时——报纸刊登了他的公司的成功以及他日益增长的财富——艾伦开始怀疑自己的选择了。 为什么他认识的人如此富有，而他却过着这样简朴的生活？他为什么没有肯成功呢？ 事实上，艾伦并不想要肯的成功。他对办公司毫无兴趣，也从未梦想会富有。他只想帮助别人，他正在帮助别人。当他看到他每天帮助的孩子的笑脸时, 他对肯的嫉妒很快就消失了。 有时候我们看到其他人有的我们也想要，并没有思考真正激励我的是什么，我们真正要的是什么。 Say “So What” Two friends from high school,Ken and Alan,went off to college and on to separate careers. Alan became a social worker, helping distressed families. Ken became a computer consultant, founded his own company, and became super-rich. Alan loved his job and felt great about the impact he was able to make on the company's success and his growing fortune—Alan began to question his choices. How could someone he knew be so rich while he lived such a modest life? Why didn’t he have Ken's success? The truth is, Alan didn't want Ken’s success. He was never interested in dedicating his life to a corporation，and he didn’t spend his days dreaming of riches. He wanted to help people, and he was helping people. His jealousy of Ken's life faded away as he looked the smiling faces of the children he helped every day. |
