[00:01.80]Li Ka-shing and a Coin李嘉诚和一枚硬币
[00:04.19]Once while trying to reach his car key,
[00:08.79]Li Ka-shing (East Asia’s richest man and generous philanthropist)
[00:14.15]dropped a two-dollar coin,which rolled under the car.
[00:17.77]He figured that when the car started,
[00:20.50]the coin would fall into the gutter,
[00:22.47]so he squatted 1 down in an attempt to pick it up.
[00:25.63]Seeing this, an Indian attendant on duty immediately picked it up for him.
[00:31.00]Having got his coin,Li Ka-shing surprisingly gave the attendant 100 dollars as a reward.
[00:37.46]His explanation was, “if the attendant had not picked up the coin,
[00:42.38]it would have rolled into the gutterand the two dollars would have disappeared from the world.
[00:47.41]When I gave 100 dollars to the attendant,
[00:50.46]he could spend it for some useful purpose.
[00:52.76]I think money should be used, not wasted.”
[00:55.93]This incident illustrates 2 Li Ka-shing’s philosophy of economy.
[01:00.08]It also shows his way of thinking,
[01:02.61]that is, he judges whether it increases or decreases the total net income of the society.
[01:09.18]As long as the total net income of society is increased,
[01:13.55]it does not matter if he himself suffers a loss;
[01:16.82]on the contrary, if the total net income of the society is decreased,
[01:21.96]his own personal financial gain will still be a loss in a broad sense.
[01:26.12]We should not look down upon his way of considering the total net income of society
[01:31.03]—it is a big issue concerning the wealth and strength of the nation.
[01:35.65]The ideology 3 of Li Ka-shing is one that can enrich a nation.
[01:40.55]His mentality 4 is worthy 5 of our deep reflection.
