Honesty 诚实
一个投资顾问决定自立门户,成立她自己的'公司。因为精明和勤奋,她的生意很快就越来越红火了。于是不久,她就意识到她得请一个专门的法律顾问。这个投资银行家就开始面试一些年轻的律师。
“我相信您一定能理解,” 她对第一个申请者说,“做我们这种生意的,个人信誉必须是毫无疑问的。”她往前凑了凑说,“Mayberry先生,您是个诚实的律师吗?”
“诚实?”应试者答道。“我告诉您一件有关诚实的事吧。我是如此诚实,我爸借给我一万五千美金上学,我在接手第一个案子后就还清了每一分钱。”
“真不错。那是个什么样的案子呢?” 投资顾问问。
他有点不安地扭了扭身子,承认道,“我老爸为了那笔钱起诉我。”
