As a common saying goes, “It is unwise to put all eggs in one basket. ”Placing all eggs in one basket means focus all our attention on one thing and fix all our hope on one thing. However, It is wrong and reasonless.
Why placing all eggs in one basket is wrong ? Placing all eggs in one basket tends to reduce the odds of success. By focusing on one thing , people will surely improve their efficiency and proficiency. However, they will also overlook other resources and possibilities,thus,the likelihood of success will be lower. Take Jack, one of my best friends, as a case in point: he started to hunt for jobs in his senior year. Compared with other students who chose different kinds of jobs, he aimed at state-owned firms alone. Unfortunately, getting a decent job in state-owned firms is really hard for him. At last, when others got a job, he was still on the way to his interviews. suppose he choose jobs in a wider range and “place all eggs in different baskets”, he could have gotten a job much easier. Putting all eggs in one basket in unwise, a truth which is applicable to many situations.
As a college student,we should endeavor to master more skills, accumulate different experience and make friends with diverse people.
參考譯文:
俗語(yǔ)有云:“把雞蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里是不明智的”。將雞蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里意味著將我們的注意力集中在一件事情上,將我們的所有希望寄托在一件事情上。然而,這是錯(cuò)誤且不理智的。
為什么將所有雞蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里是錯(cuò)誤的?首先,將雞蛋放在一個(gè)籃子里,往往會(huì)減少成功的概率。聚焦一件事情,人們確實(shí)會(huì)提高效率和熟練程度。然而,人們也會(huì)因此忽略其他的資源和可能性,因此成功的可能性反而降低了。比如說(shuō),以我最好的朋友之一杰克為例,他在大四那年開始找工作。與其他找不同的工作的同學(xué)相比,他只選擇國(guó)企。不幸的是,在國(guó)企找到一份合適的工作著實(shí)不易。最終,當(dāng)別人都找到工作的時(shí)候,他還在趕著去面試呢。假設(shè)他再更廣的范圍內(nèi)選擇工作或者說(shuō)將“雞蛋放在不同的籃子里”。或許他可以更加容易的找到工作。
將雞蛋放在不同的籃子里是不明智的,這個(gè)真理適用于不同的場(chǎng)合。作為一名大學(xué)生,我們應(yīng)該努力去掌握更多的技能,積累不同的經(jīng)驗(yàn)以及與不同的人交朋友。
