One day when a famous artist was on his way home
a young man stopped him and required to have a word with him.The artist accepted and stopped.
The young man asked,“How can you produce so many beautiful paintings and make such great achievements?”
The artist said,“It seems that you have been thinking of becoming famous every day.”
The young man nodded,“Yes.I have been dreaming of being a person as famous as you.Every minute I am thinking of how to become famous but I don’t know when I can carry out my dream.”
The artist told him,“Don’t worry,young man.If you want to be a famous man this way,you will have to wait until you die!”
“Why should ” the young man was puzzled.
The artist said,“What you dream is actually a high building.You never think of how to build it with bricks(砖块).Thus the building will never come into reality.However,your story can serve as a mirror.People will remember you because of your idleness and laziness.They will often speak of your name while they give warnings to their children.Aren’t you a ‘famous’ person by then?”
One day when a famous artist was on his way home
一天,一个著名的画家在回家的路上.一个年轻人拦住了他,要求和他谈一谈.艺术家接受并停了下来.这个年轻人问道:“你怎么能画出这么多美丽的画作和取得如此巨大的成就?”
这位画家说,“看来你每一天都想成为一个名人.”
年轻人点了点头,“是的.我一直梦想成为一个和你一样出名的人.每一分钟我都在想如何变得出名,但是我不知道什么时候我可以完成我的梦想.”
画家告诉他:“别担心,年轻人.如果你想通过这种方式成为一个著名的人,你将需要等到你死以后!”
“为什么?”年轻人感到很困惑.
画家说:“你的梦想实际上是一座高大的建筑.你永远不想如何用砖块来构建它.因此,建筑永远不会建成.然而,你的故事可做为一面镜子.人们会因为你的懒惰记住你.他们会说出你的名字来警告他们的孩子.这样,你不就是一个“著名”的人吗?”
