Inspirational story

A little smart, ruined the future, everyone should ponder! Go crazy!


Twelve years ago, a little girl had just graduated from France and started studying abroad. Gradually, she found that the ticket office of the local public transport system is self-service, that is, where you think of it, buying tickets according to the destination, the station is almost open, there is no ticket gate, no ticket inspectors, and even Even random random checks are very rare.

She discovered this management loophole, or it seemed to be a loophole in her way of thinking. With her own cleverness, she accurately estimated the probability that the number of evasive tickets was found to be only about three-tenths of a percent.

She was complacent about her discovery, and since then she has often fled the ticket. She also found a reason to comfort herself: I am still a poor student, can save a little bit.

Four years later, the brand-name university's gold-plated signboard and excellent academic achievements have filled her with confidence. She has frequently entered the door of some multinational companies in Paris and is eager to sell herself.

But these companies are enthusiastic, but after a few days, they are all rumors. The failures made again and again made her angry. She believes that these companies must have a tendency to racially discriminate and exclude foreigners.

The last time, she rushed into the office of a company's human resources manager, asking the manager to give her a reasonable reason for not accepting her. However, the ending was unexpected.

Madam, we are not discriminating against you. On the contrary, we value you very much. When you come to apply for a job, we are very interested in your educational background and academic level. To be honest, from the ability to work, you are the person we are looking for.

- Then why not collect such talents for your company?

- Because we checked your credit history and found that you have a record of being punished by three bus fares.

- I don't deny this. But for this little thing, you have given up a talent that has published papers in journals many times?

- Little things? We don't think this is a trivial matter. We noticed that the first time the evasion ticket was in the first week after you came to our country, the inspectors believed in your explanation, because you said that you are not familiar with the self-service ticketing system, just to give you a ticket. But after that, you evaded the ticket twice.

- At that time, there was no change in my pocket.

- No, no, ma'am. I disagree with your explanation, you are doubting my IQ. I believe that you may have hundreds of evasive votes before being seized.

- Then, can't sin die? Why are you so serious? Can you change it later?

- No, no, ma'am. This matter proves two things:

First, you do not respect the rules. You are good at discovering vulnerabilities in rules and using them maliciously.

Second, you are not worth trusting.

And much of our company's work must rely on trust. If you are responsible for market development in a certain region, the company will give you a lot of power. In order to save costs, we have no way to set up complex supervisory agencies, just like our public transport system. So we can't hire you. It's safe to say that in this country or even the entire EU, you may not find a company that hires you.

Until then, she was awake and regretful as a dream.

However, what really made her feel a sense of horror was the last words of the other party: morality can often make up for the shortcomings of wisdom. However, wisdom can never fill the gap of morality.
