| [00:01.80]Li Ka-shing and a Coin李嘉诚和一枚硬币 [00:04.19]Once while trying to reach his car key, [00:08.79]Li Ka-shing (East Asia’s richest man and generous philanthropist) [00:14.15]dropped a two-dollar coin,which rolled under the car. [00:17.77]He figured that when the car started, [00:20.50]the coin would fall into the gutter, [00:22.47]so he squatted down in an attempt to pick it up. [00:25.63]Seeing this, an Indian attendant on duty immediately picked it up for him. [00:31.00]Having got his coin,Li Ka-shing surprisingly gave the attendant 100 dollars as a reward. [00:37.46]His explanation was, “if the attendant had not picked up the coin, [00:42.38]it would have rolled into the gutterand the two dollars would have disappeared from the world. [00:47.41]When I gave 100 dollars to the attendant, [00:50.46]he could spend it for some useful purpose. [00:52.76]I think money should be used, not wasted.” [00:55.93]This incident illustrates Li Ka-shing’s philosophy of economy. [01:00.08]It also shows his way of thinking, [01:02.61]that is, he judges whether it increases or decreases the total net income of the society. [01:09.18]As long as the total net income of society is increased, [01:13.55]it does not matter if he himself suffers a loss; [01:16.82]on the contrary, if the total net income of the society is decreased, [01:21.96]his own personal financial gain will still be a loss in a broad sense. [01:26.12]We should not look down upon his way of considering the total net income of society [01:31.03]—it is a big issue concerning the wealth and strength of the nation. [01:35.65]The ideology of Li Ka-shing is one that can enrich a nation. [01:40.55]His mentality is worthy of our deep reflection. |
