Then you ask me a question, and if I dont know the answer, Ill pay you $5.” Again, the engineer politely refuses and tries to get to sleep. The programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, “OK, if you dont know the answ

19、er you pay me $5, and if I dont know the answer, Ill pay you $50!” This catches the engineers attention, and he sees no end to this torment(折磨 ) unless he plays, so he agrees to the game. The programmer asks the first question. “Whats the distance from the earth to the moon ” The engineer doesnt say

20、 a word, but reaches into his wallet, pulls out a five dollar bill and hands it to the programmer. Now, its the engineers turn. He asks the programmer, “What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down on four ” The programmer looks up at him with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer

21、and searches all of his references. After about an hour, he wakes the engineer and hands him $50. The engineer politely takes the $50 and turns away to try to get back to sleep. The programmer, more than a little miffed, shakes the engineer and asks, “Well, so whats the answer ” Without a word, the

27、eplied. I was pretty alarmed by that response. It seems that the graduates of today are increasingly willing to go under the knife to get ahead of others when it comes to getting a job.

One very wise man told me, “You are not doing nothing. Being fully op
