Story 05-21-2014
Wright brothers, the plane inventors, were industrious at work and focused in experiments. But they were not sociable and they did not like to give speech.One day, in a banquet, Wright brothers were invited to make a speech. Wilbur found himself in a dilemma, he said, "This must be a mistake!" He looked apologetically and said, "Making speech is my brother's responsibility." And Wright Orville stood up and announced, " Thank you, my brother has just delivered a speech."
Even though Wright brothers tried to decline the invitations, under the pressure from the audience, Orville finally said, "From what I know, although parrot is well known for its talking ability, it can't fly high."
After he said this, the hall roared with deafening applause.
The moral of this story is a person's stamina is limited. When he spends time to think about how to tell stories, he would not have enough stamina to do other things."
