隐藏的金子

他非常勤劳，而且农场在他的照管下蒸蒸日上。
可他知道自己的三个儿子瞧不起农活，都迫不及待的想通过冒险发家致富。
Whenthefarmerwasold,andfeltthathistimehadetodie,hecalledthethreesonstohimandsaid,"Mysons,thereisapotofgoldhiddenintheoliveorchard.Digforit,ifyouwishit."
这个农民上了年岁，感到死期快要来临时，将三个儿子叫到身边说：
“儿子们，橄榄园里藏有一罐金子。
你们想要，就去挖吧。
”
Thesonstriedtogethimtotelltheminwhatpartoftheorchardthegoldwashidden;buthewouldtellthemnothingmore.
儿子们想让父亲告诉他们金子藏在果园的那一块地方，可他什么也没再给他们说。
Afterthefarmerwasdead,thesonswenttoworktofindthepotofgold;sincetheydidnotknowwherethehiding-placewas,theyagreedtobegininaline,atoneendoftheorchard,andtodiguntiloneofthemshouldfindthemoney.Theyduguntiltheyhadturnedupthesoilfromoneendoftheorchardtotheother,roundthetree-rootsandbetweenthem.Butnopotofgoldwastobefound.Itseemedasifsomeonemusthavestolenit,orasifthefarmerhadbeenwandering（漫游，闲逛）inhiswits.Thethreesonswerebitterlydisappointedtohavealltheirworkfornothing.
那个农民死后，三个儿子就开始挖地，想找到那罐金子；因为他们不知道金子藏在什么地方，所以他们一致同意排成一行从果园的一头开始挖起，知道其中一人挖到金子为止.Thenextoliveseason,theolivetreesintheorchardboremorefruitthantheyhadevergiven;whenitwassold,itgavethesonsawholepotofgold.
到了第二年的橄榄季节，果园里的橄榄树接出的果子比以往的都多；卖完果子后，三个儿子赚了整整一罐金子。
Andwhentheysawhowmuchmoneyhadefromtheorchard,theysuddenlyunderstoodwhatthewisefatherhadmeantwhenhesaid,"Thereisgoldhiddenintheorchard.Digforit,ifyouwishit.
他们从果园里得到这么多钱后，突然明白了聪明的父亲所说的“果园里藏有金子，想要就去挖吧”这句话的含义.

一个年轻人向苏格拉底询问成功的秘诀，苏格拉底让年轻人第二天早晨到河边见他。
他们见面后，苏格拉底叫年轻人和他一起走向河里，当河水淹至他们的脖子时，苏格拉底出其不意地抓住年轻人并把其压入水中，那人想要挣出水面，而强壮有力的苏格拉底将他摁在水中直到他变得无力抗争，脸色发青。
苏格拉底将他的头拖出水面，这个年轻人所做的第一件事就是大口喘息后，深吸一口气。
苏格拉底问：
“当你闷在水里的时候你最想要的是什么?
”年轻人回答说：
“空气。
”苏格拉底说：
“那就是成功的秘诀。
当你像渴望空气一样渴望成功，你就能够获得它!
没有其他的秘密了。

第一次与最后一次
乔治35岁时买了架小型飞机，并开始学习驾驶。
不久，他就能很娴熟地驾机做各种各样的特技飞行了。
乔治有个朋友名叫马克。
一天，乔治主动邀请马克乘他的飞机上天兜一圈。
马克心想，“我乘大客机飞行过好几次，还从来没有乘过小飞机，我不妨试一试。
”
升空后，乔治飞了有半个小时，在空中做了各种各样的飞行特技。
后来他们着陆了。
马克很高兴能够安全返回地面。
他用颤抖的声音对他的朋友说：
“乔治，非常感谢你让我乘小飞机做了两次飞行。
”
乔治非常吃惊地问：
“两次飞行？
”
“是的，我的第一次和最后一次。
”马克答道。
