　　"Some money is too expensive."

　　“有些金錢的代價(jià)太過昂貴。”

　　When I got my first grown-up job after college my dad asked me how much money I'd be willing to embezzle.

　　大學(xué)畢業(yè)后，我得到了成年后的第一份工作，我爸問我愿意貪污多少錢。

　　My dad was an aerospace engineer, one of the most straight-edge ethical men you can imagine. So I told him the truth, "You raised me to be honest. There is no amount of money that could induce me to steal."

　　我爸是個(gè)航天工程師，是個(gè)你能想象的那種最正直最講道德的人。所以我告訴了他事實(shí)：“你從小教我要誠實(shí)。根本就沒有什么錢能讓我去偷。”

　　But he wasn't having it. "A thousand dollars?" he asked, "Ten thousand?"

　　但是他并不接受這個(gè)回答。“一千美金?”他問道，“還是一萬?”

　　"Will I get caught?"

　　“我會被抓嗎?”

　　"No one who embezzles thinks they will get caught."

　　“沒有哪個(gè)貪污的人會認(rèn)為自己會被抓。”

　　"Ok, so it would have to be enough to escape the country and get a new identity."

　　“好吧，那這些錢足夠我逃到國外并且獲得另一個(gè)身份。”

　　"Which is?" he asked.

　　“要多少?”他問。

　　"Fifty million dollars." I said. "If they left fifty million with me and I thought I could get away scout free, I might take it."

　　“5000萬美金。”我說。“如果他們把5000萬給了我，我覺得我可以逃過檢查然后拿走它。”

　　"Excellent," he said. "Now never sell out for a box of pens and a three hole punch. If fifty million dollars is your price, never steal a penny less."

　　“好，”他說。“現(xiàn)在開始，永遠(yuǎn)不要為了一盒筆或者一個(gè)三孔的打孔機(jī)而出賣了自己。如果你要的是5000萬美金，那就一分都不能少。”

　　Five advice more.

　　另外的5條建議。

　　1) "If you stand on the shores of temptation, the devil will row you a boat." I attribute this sage advice to my grandmother, but it is likely from another source. Do not put yourself in situations to be tempted.

　　“如果你正站在誘惑湖畔旁，惡魔會給你提供一條船。”這是來自我圣人般的祖母的建議，但是聽起來像是來自于別人。別讓自己陷入誘惑的境地。

　　2) Each individual has strengths and weaknesses. Be smart enough to recognize not only your own strengths and weaknesses, but also the strengths and weaknesses of others.

　　每個(gè)人都有優(yōu)勢跟劣勢。聰明一點(diǎn)，看清自己的和別人的優(yōu)勢跟劣勢。

　　3) Find something to appreciate in everything and everyone.

　　不管什么人、什么事，都要找到其閃光點(diǎn)。

　　4) Surround yourself with the type of people you want to be.

　　跟那些你想要成為和他們一樣的人在一起。

　　5) Direct quote from my father - "Son. You are intelligent. Use your powers for good."

　　直接引用自我的父親：“兒子，你很聰明。把你的能力用在好的地方。”
