When Henry was a young boy in school,he learned a lesson in self confidence which he never forgot.
He was called upon to recite in front of the class.He had hardly begun when the teacher interrupted with an empathic “No!” He started over and again the teacher thundered,“No!” Humiliated,Henry sat down.
The next boy rose to recite and had just begun when the teacher shouted,“No!” This student,however,kept on with the recitation until he completed it.As he sat down,the teacher replied,“Very good!”
Henry was irritated.”I recited just as he did,” he complained to the teacher.
But the instructor replied,“It is not enough to know your lesson,you must be sure.When you allowed me to stop you,it meant that you were uncertain.If the world says,‘No!’ it is your business to say,‘Yes!’ and prove it.
当Henry还是少年的时候,他在学校上了堂让他永生难忘的一课-自信!
他被老师指名在课室里朗读.当他勉强的开始朗读时,老师说了一声‘No!’进行打岔.他从头开始但老师又喊道“NO!”他觉得很羞耻,于是便坐了下来.
坐在他一旁的少年站起来朗读却也被老师喊了一声"NO!".但这学生并没有停下来,反而继续朗读直到完成为止.当他坐下来时,老师回了一句‘很好!”
Henry很生气.他向老师埋怨道 "我刚才也像他一样朗读啊!"
老师于是告诉他,“你要知道,只是明白课堂是不够的,你还要很确定你所学的.当你允许我打岔你的时候,那证明了你还是有所怀疑.当世界都说“No”的时候,是你的责任说声“Yes!” 和证明它!
