It was a sunny Saturday afternoon in Oklahoma City. My friend, a proud father Bobby Lewis was taking his two little boys to play miniature golf. He walked up to the fellow at the ticket counter and said, “How much is it to get in?” The young man replied, “3.00 for you and 3.00 for any kid who is older than six. We let them in free if they are six or younger. How old are they?” Bobby replied, “The lawyer’s three and the doctor is seven, so I guess I pay you 6.00.” The man at the ticket counter said, “Hey, Mister, did you just win the lottery or something? You could have saved yourself three dollars. You could have told me that the older one was six; I wouldn’t have known the difference.” Bobby replied, “Yes, that may be true, but the kids would have known the difference.” As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, “Who you are speaks so loudly I can’t hear what you’re saying.” In challenging (挑战) times when ethics (伦理) are more important than ever before, make sure you set a good example for everyone you work and live with. *【Note】 Oklahoma City 克拉荷马市(美国俄克拉荷马州首府) What You Are Is As 1 As What You Do Bobby Lewis ·Take his sons to 2 . ·Walk to the ticket counter. ·The kids would have known the difference.
