作者強調的是在華氏211度(約攝氏99.444度)時,水就滾了,但是要到212度(約攝氏100度)時,水才會開,而滾開的水就會冒出蒸汽,而有了蒸汽就可以驅動一部火車。 作者強調只有一度之差,就決定成功和失敗,而領先一度的所獲得的成就和獎賞就有如天壤之別。 書中還引用一些格言,例如: .Inches make the champion. ~Vince Lombardi, Hall of Fame football coach .Many of life’s failures are men who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. ~Thomas Edison, American inventor .Courage is fear holding on a minute longer. ~George S. Patton, American soldier & general .Triumph often is nearest when defeat seems inescapable. ~B.C Forbes, Founder & publisher of Forbes Magazine .The drops of rain make a hole in the stone not by violence, but by oft falling. ~Lucretinus, Roman philosopher .It’s the final steps of a journey that create an arrival.Never stop. One always stops as soon as something is about to happen. ~Peter Brook, British theatre & film director .Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached the goal. ~Polybius, Greek statement & historian .You give 100 percent in the first half of the game, and if that isn’t enough, in the second half you give what’s left. ~Yogi Berra, Hall of Fame baseball player and manager. .You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it. ~Margaret Thatcher, British Prime Minister 中文有「差之毫釐,失之千里」同樣的意義,意思即要不斷堅持、努力,不要因一時失敗而氣餒,成功往往一步之遠。而這一步所造成的結果就會產生顯著差別。 管理拾穗(NO.111) ●本文作者曾渙釗 Arthur Tseng 安瑟管理顧問公司總經理●本文作者保留所有著作權利 |
