I have a friend in the tenth grade named Xiaoyong. He claims he gets a monthly allowance of 10,000 yuan.
Xiaoyong: Hey, I'm super smart.
Xiaoming: What's going on?
Xiaoyong: I've made some really useful friends with my money.
Xiaoming: What do you mean?
Xiaoyong: I treat my classmates to food and drinks, and then I ask them to do my homework.
Xiaoming: Unbelievable!
Xiaoming: How can someone be so foolish?
Xiaoyong: Why? I think I'm super smart. No one else would come up with this idea; I'm the only one in our class who can do it.
Xiaoming: There are two points to consider. First, you've given away all your practice opportunities.
What are you going to do for yourself?
Xiaoming: You've not only given up your practice opportunities but also spent money!!! That's not just foolish; that's incredibly foolish.
Xiaoming: Secondly, the people you attract with money won't be friends.
They'll be people looking to take advantage of you.
我有個8年級(國二生)朋友叫小永,他說他一個月零用錢一萬元。
小永:「嘿,我超級聰明。」
小明:「怎麼了?」
小永:「我用錢交了很多很好用的朋友。」
小明:「什麼意思?」
小永:「我請同學吃東西喝飲料,然後叫他們幫我寫功課。」
小明:「震驚!」
小明:「怎麼會有人這麼蠢!」
小永:「怎麼會?我覺得我超級聰明,別人都想不到這招,我們班只有我會。」
小明:「有兩點值得商討。首先,你把練習的機會都讓給別人了。」
小明:「你放棄了練習的機會,還花了錢!!!那不叫蠢,什麼叫蠢」
小明:「第二點是—你用花錢的方式吸引到的不會是朋友。」
