英语故事:成功的关键
【英文原文】
Keys to Success
One day a father was teaching his son and said, "The keys to your success are keeping your word and cleverness. Once you give somebody a promise, you must carry it out on matter what will happen. This is called \'keeping one\'s words.\'
"What is cleverness?" asked his son.
"Cleverness is that you\'ll never make such a promise, " the father answered.
【中文译文】

儿子问:“那么什么是聪明呢?”
父亲回答:“聪明就是任何时候都别做这样的承诺。”
