心灵鸡汤

小故事、钢玻璃杯的故事

　　一个农民，初中只读了两年，家里就没钱继续供他上学了。他辍学回家，帮父亲耕种三亩薄田。在他19岁时，父亲去世了，家庭的重担全部压在了他的肩上。他要照顾身体不好的母亲，还有一位瘫痪在床的祖母。

　　八十年代，农田承包到户。他把一块水洼挖成池塘，想养鱼。但乡里的干部告诉他，水田不能养鱼，只能种庄稼，他只好有把水塘填平。这件事成了一个笑话，在别人的眼里，他是一个想发财但有非常愚蠢的人。

　　听说养鸡能赚钱，他向亲戚借了500元钱，养起了鸡。但是一场洪水后，鸡得了鸡瘟，几天内全部死光。500元对别人来说可能不算什么，对一个只靠三亩薄田生活的家庭而言，不啻天文数字。他的母亲手不了这个刺激，竟然忧郁而死。

　　他后来酿过酒，捕过鱼，甚至还在石矿的悬崖上帮人打过炮眼……可都没有赚到钱。

　　35岁的时候，他还没有娶到媳妇。即使是离异的有孩子的女人也看不上他。因为他只有一间土屋，随时有可能在一场大雨后倒塌。娶不上老婆的男人，在农村是没有人看得起的。

　　但他还想搏一搏，就四处借钱买一辆受扶拖拉机。不料，上路不到半个月，这辆拖拉机就载着他冲入一条河里。他断了一条腿，成了瘸子。而那拖拉机，被人捞起来，已经支离破碎，他只能拆开它，当作废铁卖。

　　几乎所有的人都说他这辈子完了。

　　但是后来他却成了我所在的这个城市里的一家公司的老总，手中有两亿元的资产。现在，许多人都知道他苦难的过去和富有传奇色彩的创业经历。许多媒体采访过他，许多报告文学描述过他。但我只记得这样一个情节--

　　记者问他："在苦难的日子里，你凭什么一次又一次毫不退缩?"

　　他坐在宽大豪华的老板台后面，喝完了手里的一杯水。然后，他把玻璃杯子握在手里，反问记者："如果我松手，这只杯子会怎样?"

　　记者说："摔在地上，碎了。"

　　"那我们试试看。"他说。

　　他手一松，杯子掉到地上发出清脆的声音，但并没有破碎，而是完好无损。他说："即使有10个人在场，他们都会认为这只杯子必碎无疑。但是，这只杯子不是普通的玻璃杯，而是用玻璃钢制作的。"

　　于是，我记住了这段经典绝妙的对话。这样的人，即使只有一口气，他也会努力去拉住成功的手，除非上苍剥夺了他的生命……
