A young man once asked Albert Einstein what the secret of success was. The great scientist told him that the secret of success was hard work.
 
A few days later the young man asked him the same question again. Einstein was very annoyed1.
 
He did not say anything but wrote a few words on a piece of paper and handed it to the young man. The young man looked at the piece of paper. On it was written:
 
X=Y+X+Z
 
"What does this mean?" asked the young man.
 
"A means2 success," explained the old scientist. "X stands for hard work, Y stands for good methods, and Y means that you should stop talking and get down to work."
 
有个年轻人曾经问阿伯特.爱因斯坦成功的秘诀是什么,这位伟大的科学家告诉他成功的秘诀是勤奋。
 
几天后这个年轻人又问他同样的问题,爱因斯坦很恼火。
 
他一句话也没说,只是在一张纸上写下几个字,递给那年轻人。年轻人看了纸条,只见上面写着:
 
X=Y+X+Z
 
“这是什么意思?”年轻人问道。
 
“A表示成功,”这位老科学家解释说,“X代表勤奋,Y代表好的方法,Z的意思是别空谈,认真的工作。”
