A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost.He reduces his altitude and spots a man down below.He lowers the balloon further and shouts:“Excuse me,can you tell me where I am?”
The man below says,“Yes,you’re in a hot air balloon,hovering 30 feet above this field.”
“You must work in Technical Support,”says the balloonist.
“I do,”replies the man.“How did you know?”
“Well,”says the balloonist,“everything you have told me is technically correct,but completely useless.”
The man below says,“You must be in management.”
“I am,”replies the balloonist,“but how did you know?”
“Well,”says the man,“you don’t know where you are,or where you’re going,but you expect me to be able to help.You’re still in the same position you were before we met,but now it’s my fault.”
一男子乘坐熱氣球在空中飛行,突然意識到自己迷路了。他降低了飛行高度,看見底下有一個人。他把氣球的高度又降低了一些,喊道:“對不起,先生,能告訴我這是什么地方嗎?”
底下的男子說道:“我當然知道,您在熱氣球上,在距離地面30英尺的高度盤旋?!?
“您一定是從事技術維護工作的。”氣球上的男子道。
“是的,”地面的男子道,“你怎么知道?”
“是這樣的,”氣球上的男子道,“您說的每一樣在技術上都是正確的,但毫無用處?!?
地面上的男子道:“您一定是從事管理工作的?!?
“不錯,”氣球上的男子回答道,“你怎么知道的?”
“是這樣的,”地面的男子答道,“你不知道自己身在何處,也不知道要干什么,卻希望我能夠提供幫助。你一直在原地盤旋,卻把責任推到我身上。”
