    小故事

      很久很久以前,人类都还赤着双脚走路。

       有一位国王到某个偏远的乡间旅行,因为路面崎岖不平,有很多碎石头,刺得他的脚又痛又麻。回到王宫后,他下了一道命令,要将国内的所有道路都铺上一层牛皮。他认为这样做,不只是为自己,还可造福他的人民,让大家走路时不再受刺痛之苦。
     
       但即使杀尽国内所有的牛,也筹措不到足够的皮革,而所花费的金钱、动用的人力,更不知凡几。虽然根本做不到,甚至还相当愚蠢,但因为是国王的命令,大家也只能摇头叹息。
       一位聪明的仆人大胆向国王提出建言:「国王啊!为什么您要劳师动众,牺牲那么多头牛,花费那么多金钱呢?您何不只用两小片牛皮包住您的脚呢?」国王听了很惊讶,但也当下领悟,于是立刻收回成命,改采这个建议。据说,这就是「皮鞋」的由来。

     小哲理:
        想改变世界,很难;要改变自己,则较为容易。
        与其改变全世界,不如先改变自己--「将自己的双脚包起来」。
        改变自己的某些观念和作法,以抵御外来的侵袭。
        当自己改变后,眼中的世界自然也就跟着改变了。
        如果你希望看到世界改变,那么第一个必须改变的就是自己。

      「心若改变,态度就会改变;态度改变,习惯就改变;习惯改变,人生就会改变。」
