A businessman walks into a bank in San Francisco and asks for the loan officer.He says he is going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000.The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for such a loan.
So the businessman hands over the keys to a Rolls Royce parked on the street in front of the bank.Everything checks out,and the bank agrees to accept the car as collateral for the loan.An employee drives the Rolls into the bank's underground garage and parks it there.
Two weeks later,the businessman returns,repays the $5,000 and the interest,which comes to $15.41.
The loan officer says,"We are very happy to have had your business,and this transaction has worked out very nicely,but we are a little puzzled.
While you were away,we checked you out and found that you are a multimillionaire.What puzzles us is why would you bother to borrow $5,000?"
The businessman replied,"Where else in San Francisco can I park my car for two weeks for $15 bucks?"

Once upon a time two brothers who lived on adjoining farms fell into conflict.
It was the first serious rift in 40 years of farming side by side,sharing machinery,and trading labor and goods as needed without a hitch.
Then the long collaboration fell apart.It began with a small misunderstanding and it grew into a major difference,and finally it exploded into an exchange of bitter words followed by weeks of silence.
One morning there was a knock on John's door.He opened it to find a man with a carpenter's toolbox."I'm looking for a few days work" he said.
"Perhaps you would have a few small jobs here and there I could help with?Could I help you?"
"Yes," said the older brother."I do have a job for you.Look across the creek at that farm.That's my neighbor,in fact,it's my younger brother.
Last week there was a meadow between us and he took his bulldozer to the river levee and now there is a creek between us.Well,he may have done this to spite me,but I'll go him one better.See that pile of lumber by the barn?
I want you to build me a fence - - an 8-foot fence -- so I won't need to see his place or his face anymore."
The carpenter said,"I think I understand the situation.Show me the nails and the post hole digger and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you."
The older brother had to go to town,so he helped the carpenter get the materials ready and then he was off for the day.The carpenter worked hard all that day measuring,sawing,nailing,and hammering.
About sunset when the farmer returned,the carpenter had just finished his job.The farmer's eyes opened wide,his jaw dropped.There was no fence there at all.
It was a bridge -- a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other!A fine piece of work handrails and all -- and the neighbor,his younger brother,was coming across,his hand outstretched.
"You are quite a fellow to build this bridge after all I've said and done."
The two brothers stood at each end of the bridge,and then they met in the middle,taking each other's hand.They turned to see
the carpenter hoist his toolbox on his shoulder.
"No,wait!Stay a few days.I've a lot of other projects for you," said the older brother.
"I'd love to stay on," the carpenter said,"but,I have many more bridges to build."

What would you do if you failed? Many people may choose to give up. However, the surest way to success is to keep your direction and stick to your goal.
On your way to success, you must keep your direction. It is just like a lamp, guiding you in darkness and helping you overcome obstacles on your way. Otherwise, you will easily get lost or hesitate to go ahead.
Direction means objectives. You can get nowhere without an objective in life.
You can try to write your objective on paper and make some plans to achieve it. In this way, you will know how to arrange your time and to spend your time properly. And you should also have a belief that you are sure to succeed as long as you keep your direction all the time.
题目“Keep Your Direction 坚持你的方向 ”
翻译过来就是“如果失败了你会怎么做？很多人可能会选择放弃。然而，要想成功，最可靠的方法就是坚持你的方向和目标。
在通往成功的路上，你必须坚持你的方向。它就像一盏灯，在黑暗中为你指路，帮助你度过难关。否则，你很容易就会迷失方向或犹豫不前。
方向意味着目标。人生如果没有目标，将一事无成。
你可以试着把你的目标写在纸上，并制定实现目标的计划。这样，你就会懂得如何合理安排时间，如何正确地支配时间。而且你还要有这样的信念：只要你一直坚持自己的方向，你就一定可以成功。 ”
