Odds and Ends
On these days,much of the profit of a business--sometimes the whole of its success--depends on the use of the odds and ends.The odds and ends are various small things.They are left over when the main thing is produced.Yet they have a real value of their own.
All kinds of big businesses have their odds and ends.In a big meal factory,for example,there are countless odds and end--bones and hair,to name only a few.
The bones are made into glue;the hair is made into rope.If these odds and ends were to be looked down upon,it would mean a big difference in the amount of the profit of the factory.
We students have our own odds and ends.Take time for instance.Every one of us has the same amount of it.Our success or failure depends on the use of our time.But we use the time more or less in the same way.We have our regular day's work:certain perilds of classes,or several hours for review.
And that ends a day.
But what about its odds and ends--the odd moments?Many giants in science or art have made huge successes for themselves in the world mainly because they have made best use of their odd moments.Take Tomas A.Edison.While he was earning his living by tapping out messages,he did not allow his odd moments to slip by.He thought,he planned,and he tried between messages.And he succeeded in working out a lot of things entirely new to the world.By fully using his odd moments,
he provided valuable wealth for the modern world.
Think of the odd quarter of an hour in the morning before breakfast,the odd half an hour after dinner,and the odd moments in the washroom or between classes.
Remember the chances to read or think that come now and again during the day.
Make full use of them,and you my find,as many big businesses have found,
that the real profit is in using the odds and ends
零碎东西
如今商业的很多利润——有些是全部的成功——都取决于如何使用零碎的东西.零碎的东西是各种各样的,他们是生产主要商品留下的东西,但是又常常有着自身实际的用途
所有大型商业都有他们自己的零碎东西,在大型肉厂,有数不清的琐碎事物,比如骨头,头发——这仅仅是其中很小的部分
骨头可以熬成胶水,头发可以做成绳子.拿时间来说,我们每个人都有一样多的时间.我们的成功与否取决于如何利用我们的时间,但是我们基本都用同样的方法使用时间,我们每天有固定的工作:固定时段的课程,或者几个小时的复习,然后就结束了一天.
但是那些零碎时间呢?很多科学巨人和艺术巨匠在这个世界上都于属于自己的巨大成功都是因为他们科学合理使用了琐碎时间.就拿托马斯爱迪生来说,当他靠打电报挣钱糊口时,他没有让自己的零碎时间溜走,结果他成功的发明了很多对这个世界来说全新的东西.依靠良好利用他的零碎时间,他给现代世界提供了有价值的财富
想想早饭前的一刻钟,晚饭后的半小时,在洗手间里,课堂休息的零碎时间吧.记住那些可以用来阅读的机会,在一天中反复想想这些事情(这句话不确定,我感觉这个句子不通),充分利用他们,然后你会发现,就如同很多大的企业发现一样,真正的价值存在于零碎的事物中
