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……
