Roger Hull, a business executive, has written an essay based on this proverb called, "Two Kinds of People." "Have you ever asked yourself this question: If every citizen performed just as we do, where would the country be? What if every fellow worked at his job the way you work, showed the same interest, the same diligence, the same faithfulness, the same skill and discipline? What would happen to our country? Someone has said that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are part of the problem and those who are part of the solution. Well, what about you? Do you think in terms of yourself - how much you can make, what you can get out of life? Those who think that way are definitely part of the problem. Or are you concerned with the contribution you can make - how much you can give, how much you can put in? People like that are part of the answer. Some people treat life like a slot machine, trying to put in as little as possible, and always hoping to hit the jackpot. But I believe that people are wiser, happier, and have more inner peace when they think of life as a solid, intelligent investment from which they receive in terms of what they put in. And by so doing they help preserve our free society." //Desi nu are legatura cu securitatea/programarea,cititind o editie mai veche de la Reader's Digest,am dat de textul respectiv.Sper sa va placa si voua:).Daca nu vi se pare interesant,etc nu comentati pt. ca probabil autorul e mort de mult.
