The world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. We meet them every day. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I pulled it into a garage, and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes. He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. I was amazed. The sad truth is, great talent is not enough.
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn. I heard the other day that less than 5% of Americans earn more than $100,000 a year. A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors, dentists and chiropractors struggle financially.
世界上滿坑滿谷都是精明能干、才華橫溢、學(xué)富五車以及極具天賦之人,我們每天都會見到他們。幾天前,我的汽車運(yùn)轉(zhuǎn)不靈了。我把它開進(jìn)維修廠,一位年輕的機(jī)械工只消幾分鐘就把它修好了。他僅憑傾聽發(fā)動機(jī)的聲音就能確定哪兒有毛病,這讓我驚奇不已。然而遺憾的是,光有非凡才華是不夠的。
我常常吃驚,為什么有才華的人卻只有微薄的收入。前幾天我聽人說,只有不到5%的美國人年收入在10萬美元以上。一位精通藥品貿(mào)易的商務(wù)顧問曾經(jīng)告訴我,有許多醫(yī)生、牙醫(yī)和按摩師生活拮據(jù)。
