Short Plank, Long Needle
The so-called “短板原理” sys the capacity of a wooden tub is not determinedby the long planks, but the shortest one. Applying to a person, the short plankis his shortcome or weak point. Or example, a versatile seems both文武雙全,能說(shuō)會(huì)道,有能力有水平,but addicted in gambling, he is then, identifyinghimself not with those long planks, but the shot ones. Finally, he may 身敗名裂. This is maybe his “short plank”.
Among thebuilding forest with 避雷針, it is the highest one that truly make a differencein 避雷, and others made little. This is called “避雷針原理”. If, comparing to a person, the highest 避雷針 is hisspecial point and the method to make a living. A versatile without any specialpoints, his techniques are useless and just for decorating.
All human beingsare but the ones with shortcome; while a truly smart man is supposed to make uphis “short plank” with his all efforts. If impossible, he would better be carefulabout it and not let it be worse. It is so important to let he know that avoidto fail for this spot.

一個(gè)木桶能裝多少水,不是由那些長(zhǎng)板決定的,而是由那塊最短的板決定的,這就是經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)上的“短板原理”。用到一個(gè)人身上,短板就是指致命的缺點(diǎn)或弱點(diǎn)。譬如說(shuō),一個(gè)人哪兒都好,文武雙全,能說(shuō)會(huì)道,有能力有水平,可就是沉溺于賭博,那么決定他命運(yùn)的就不是“哪兒都好”的那些長(zhǎng)板,而是賭博這塊短板,他最終身敗名裂,也許可能就是因?yàn)檫@塊短板。
在一個(gè)樓房林立的地區(qū),雖然每棟樓房都安有避雷針,但真正和雷電接觸能起到避雷作用的,是那根最高的避雷針,其他避雷針基本都是擺設(shè),這就是“避雷針原理”。如果用來(lái)比喻一個(gè)人,最高的避雷針就是指他的最突出特長(zhǎng),他的最有效的謀生手段。一個(gè)多才多藝的人,如果沒(méi)有一項(xiàng)最能拿出手的.技藝,他的多才多藝就只能是漂亮的點(diǎn)綴,沒(méi)有多大實(shí)際用處。
人非圣賢,所以人人都可能有“短板”,一個(gè)真正聰明睿智的人,應(yīng)當(dāng)盡量補(bǔ)齊自己的“短板”,如果實(shí)在不能補(bǔ)齊也要始終對(duì)其保持警惕,遏止其發(fā)展,千萬(wàn)不要讓其成為導(dǎo)致自己人生失敗的致命缺點(diǎn)。
另一方面,則要竭力打造自己“最高的避雷針”,不必事事處處和別人比長(zhǎng)短,而只在自己最突出的長(zhǎng)項(xiàng)、技術(shù)、專業(yè)上爭(zhēng)高下;不要當(dāng)行行通行行松的“萬(wàn)金油”,要力爭(zhēng)成為某一行業(yè)的專家、內(nèi)行.、權(quán)威、大腕。若果如此,“短板”不短,“避雷針”又極高,成功的大門(mén)便會(huì)一叩即開(kāi)。
