晨讀英語美文100篇六級(jí)Searching for a Win-Win Solution

[ti:] [ar:] [al:] [by:] [00:02.34]Passage 95 Searching for a Win-Win Solution [00:08.46]Recently I have had a dilemma I'm trying to resolve, a weekend in the near future [00:15.36]where I have conflicting demands and values, and need to be in two places at the same time. [00:22.36]I have agonized over this decision because my intuition is not giving me a clear answer [00:29.91]and I haven't felt that there was a win-win solution. [00:34.50]If I do one thing, I'm letting down a bunch of people. [00:39.43]If I do the other, I'm also missing the mark. [00:43.59]Either way I feel like a loser, not a winner. [00:48.51]This morning I got an e-mail that directly addresses this dilemma: [00:54.42]A Thinking Test [00:56.72]You are driving along on a wild, stormy night. [01:00.88]You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus: [01:07.44]1. An old lady who is sick and about to die. [01:12.25]2. An old friend who once saved your life. [01:17.07]3. The perfect man or woman you have been dreaming about. [01:23.63]Which one would you choose to pick up, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car? [01:31.07]The candidate who was hired simply answered: [01:35.01]"I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the lady to the hospital. [01:41.70]I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams." [01:47.05]Sometimes, we gain more if we are able to [01:50.98]give up our stubborn thought limitations and think outside the box. [01:57.00]If, like me, you are looking at a decision that makes you feel forced to choose between plan A or plan B, [02:06.63]and neither plan by itself seems like the right decision, [02:11.66]stretch your mind to consider plans C or D, [02:16.91]to a third option that solves the problem in a whole new way. [02:22.05]Believe that there is a solution you haven't yet thought of, [02:26.98]which will enable you to feel good about your choice, and then search for what it is. [02:33.65]You are not always the victim in life; [02:36.72]most of the time you are the victor looking at the situation from the wrong view! [02:43.50]The view is yours to choose.
