When my wife,Diana, and I met a new couple at church one Sunday, we stopped to introduce ourselves and to exchange pleasantries.
We described the friendly neighborhood we lived in,and listened sympathetically as they lamented that theirs was just the opposite.
Saying our good-byes, we got in our cars and drove home.
As we approached our house,we were horrified to see that our new-found friends were pulling into the driveway next to ours.
The Less You Know, the More Money You Make
Theorem: Engineers and scientists will never make as much money as business executives.
Now a rigorous mathematical proof that explains why this is true:
Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.
As every engineer knows, Power=Work/Time. Since Knowledge=Power, and Time=Money, we have
Knowledge=Work/Money. Solving for Money, we get: Money=Work/Knowledge.
Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity regardless of the Work done.
Conclusion: The less you know, the more money you make.
知识越少挣钱越多
定理：工程师和科学家永远应当比经济专家挣钱少。
下面是对该定理的一个严格的数学证明：
假设一：知识就是力量(Power)。
假设二：时间就是金钱。
每个工程师都知道：功率(Power)= 。既然知识=力量，时间=金钱，我们有：知识= 。求解金钱表达式，我们得到：金钱= 。
因此，当知识趋于零时，无论你做了多少功，金钱趋于无穷大。
结论：知识越少，你挣得的金钱就越多。
A bank robber stole a lot of money. He was caught and sent to prison, but the money was never found. When he came out of prison, they watched him to see what he would do.

When I was a child,I once went camping with my family in the summer. We decided to make a barbecue in the valley. So we collected some tree sticks to make a fire. My father asked me if I could try to make a fire. I was glad to take the job. Then I tried to set fire to the wood with a match,but produced only smoke. Then my father said,”Thats not the right way.
I’ll show you how to do it. First use the small pieces of wood because they catch fire easily. Then put the larger ones on top of them.”My father helped me make a big fire.
Even My Driver Can Answer that Question
A famous game theorist, having won the Clark prize, was set to give a series of lectures at prestigious universities throughout the northeast. For the task, he hired a car and driver to take him from place to place 。 With nothing else to do, the driver would sit in on the highly technical lectures. After several lectures, the driver commented to the economist, "You know, I've heard your lecture so much that I think I could deliver it myself." The economist found this idea intriguing and decided to switch places with him at his next lecture.
The driver gave the talk flawlessly. However, after the lecture, some one in the audience asked him a rather technical question that the driver had no idea how to even begin to answer. The driver considered it for a moment, and then replied, "That question is so easy, even my driver can answer it."
甚至我的司机都能回答那个问题
一位著名的博弈论专家一获得克拉克奖便开始在东北部各个知名大学展开一系列讲座。为了完成这项任务，他租了一辆车并雇了一名司机载着他到处赶场。没有别的事可做的司机就坐在课堂里听专家那科技含量颇高的讲座。几场讲座下来，司机对这位经济学家说：“我听了这么多次你的讲座，我觉得我自己也能讲了。”经济学家觉得这个想法很有趣，于是决定下次作讲座时他们两个互换位置。
司机完美无瑕地完成了演讲。可是当讲座结束后，听众中有人问了他一个技术含量相当高的问题，他不知如何开口回答。司机沉思了一会，回答道：“这个问题太简单了，连我的司机都能回答。”
In the past, the grandson of a prime minister was a notorious spendthrift.
He squandered all the family property and couldn’t even afford his own meals, so he oftenborrowed rice from others.

Unexpectedly, after carrying the rice for some distance, the poor man also panted and couldn’twalk any further.The grandson complained:
“I am the grandson of a prime minister. It is natural that I can neither lift with my hands norcarry on my shoulder anything heavy.
But you are from a poor family. Why are you also so useless?”
Unwilling to give in, the poor man glared and retorted:
“How can you blame me? I am not from a poor family. I am the grandson of a prime minister,too.”
On a vacation trip,Duke Huan of the state of Qi came to the ruin of the capital of G[]uo Shi,which perished long ago.

They replied,"Guo Shi was fond of doing good deeds,and averse to
evildoing,which led to the perdition."

And I've never had a dog run out on a hotel bill. Yes, indeed, your dog is welcome at my hotel. And, if your dog will vouch for you, you're welcome to stay here, too."
