愛:能夠創(chuàng)造奇跡的力量
Love: The One Creative Force
A college professor had his sociology class go into the Baltimore slums to get case histories of 200 young boys. They were asked to write an evaluation of each boys future. In every case the students wrote, He hasnt got a chance. Twenty-five years later another sociology professor came across the earlier study. He had his students follow up on the project to see what had happened to these boys.
With the exception of 20 boys who had moved away or died, the students learned that 176 of the remaining 180 had achieved more than ordinary success as lawyers, doctors and businessmen.
The professor was astounded and decided to pursue the matter further. Fortunately, all men were in the area and he was able to ask each one, How do you account for your success? In each case the reply came with feeling, There was a teacher.
The teacher was still alive, so he sought her out and asked the old but still alert lady what magic formula she had used to pull these boys out of the slums into successful achievement.
The teachers eyes sparkled and her lips broke into a gentle smile. Its really very simple, she said. I loved those boys.

教授大吃一驚并決定進(jìn)一步地探究下去。幸運(yùn)的是，這些長成人的孩子還都在這個(gè)地區(qū)，因此教授有機(jī)會挨個(gè)去問他們：你是如何獲得你的這些成就的?很讓人感動的是，他們的回答如出一轍：因?yàn)槲矣幸晃缓美蠋煛?/p>
