" I' m a great salesman." Harry told himself." I can sell anything. I'll go in and ask for that job."

He went into the building and spoke to the manager.

"I'm the best salesman in the world," he said. "Give me the job. "

"You must prove you're the best," the manager said.

"I'll pass every test you give me." Harry told him.

"Good."

The manager took a box of candy out of his desk .

"Last week, I bought a thousand boxes of this candy. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can he the job.

"That's easy," Harry said.

He took the box of candy and left the office.

Every day and all day, he went from shop to shop, trying to sell boxes of the candy .

He couldn't sell one.

The candy was so bad he couldn't even give it away.

At the end of the week he went back to the manager.

"I'm sorry, sir, " he said," I was wrong about myself . I'm not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is.

"Oh," said the manager. "Who?"

"The person who sold you a thousand boxes of this candy, " Harry said.

世界上最好的售货员

哈里在橱窗上看到一则广告。上面写着：“招聘世界上最好的售货员，报酬优厚。”

“我是一名了不起的售货员，”哈里自言自语，“任何东西我都能卖出去，我要进去应聘这份工作。”

他走进大楼去和经理说这件事。

“我是世界上最好的售货员，”他说，“把这件工作给我吧。”

“你必须证明你是最好的，”经理说。

“我会通过你给我的每一次考验的。”哈里告诉他。

“好。”

经理从桌子里取出一箱糖果。

“我上星期买了一千箱这种糖果。如果你能在周末之前把这些全卖出去，你就能得到这份工作。”

“这很简单。”哈里说。

他拿着这箱糖果离开了办公室。

每天从早到晚，他从这家店走到那家店，竭力想卖出一千箱糖果。

结果他一箱也没卖出去。

糖果质量太差，以至于送人都没人要。

周末他回去见经理。

“很抱歉，先生，”他说，“我搞错了。我不是世界上最好的售货员，但我知道谁是最好的。”

“哦，”经理问，“是谁？”

“是把这一千箱糖果卖给你的人，”哈里说。

A Sioux Indian story ...

这是苏语系印第安人部落中流传的一个古老的故事……

My grandfather took me to the fish pond on the farm when I was about seven, and he told me to throw a stone into the water. He told me to watch the circles created by the stone. Then he asked me to think of myself as that stone.

在我七岁那年，我的祖父来到田边的一个池塘。他让我丢一颗石子到水中，并嘱咐我仔细观察石子所激起的水波纹。然后他叫我把自己想象成那颗石子。

"You may create lots of splashes in your life, but the wes that come from those splashes will disturb the peace of all your fellow creatures," he said.

他说：“在生命的水面上，你也许能激起许多波纹，而你所激起的波纹也会打破别人的平静，”

"Remember that you are responsible for what you put in your circle and that circle will also touch many other circles."

“要谨记，对你所激起的波纹中所包含的东西负责，因为这些东西会接触、影响到别人的波纹。”

"You will need to live in a way that allows the good that comes from your circle to send the peace of that goodness to others. The splash that comes from anger or jealousy will send those feelings to other circles. You are responsible for both."

“你应当努力使自己波纹中的平和宁静传播给他人。当然，如果你的波纹中携带有愤怒、嫉妒，别人也会受到你的影响，因此，你要对它们负责。”

That was the first time I realized that each person creates the inner peace or discord that flows out into the world. We cannot create world peace if we are riddled with inner conflict, hatred, dou, or anger.

这是我第一次了解到，每个人心中的平和抑或不和，都会传播给整个世界。如果我们自己内心都被冲突、仇恨、疑虑或者愤怒所纠缠，自然就不能给世界带来平和宁静。

We radiate the feelings and thoughts that we hold inside, whether we speak them or not. Whatever is splashing around inside of us is spilling out into the world, creating beauty or discord with all other circles of life.

无论我们是否说出心中的感觉和思绪，我们都在向外界传播它们。无论我们内心激起的是何种波纹，它们都会被传向他人，与别人的生命波纹共同激起美丽，抑或是不和谐。
