I waslingering[徘徊]at the front gate, hesitated about walking down the street to play with my friend, Verma, when I saw a tramp coming towards me.

“Hello, little girl,” he said. “Is your mom home?”

I stared at him quizzically[疑惑地]. He wore a black jacket, withunkempt[蓬亂的]hair and scraggly[不整齊的]beard. What impressed me most was the bulky[笨重的]guitar that he carried—this must be a wandering artist.

“Well, she is.” I asked him to wait in the yard when I went to inform my mom. After a while,my mom came out. Her expression didn’t show much astonishment as I expected. It seemed like the tramp hadanticipated[預料]this. He smiled gently, taking out a piece of paper—with our home address on it.

It was on a freezing cold night that my mom and this trampencountered[邂逅]a year ago. He was begging near a bus stop where my mom usually waited for the bus. As she passed by the man,her sympathy drove her to give him some money and chat with him. Then she noticed a broken guitar lying beside the man. At the end of the conversation, my mom put forward a proposal[提議]that he should raise money to buy a new guitar, because she really looked forward to listening to his music. This tramp was so thankful that he took down our address.

With tearful eyes, the man said to my mom, “Now,I’d love to share my music and happiness with you. It was my hardest time. I lost my favourite guitar. Without your encouragement, I would probably lose the hope to live.”

Many years later, I became a college student and went on a journey by myself. After a meaningful holiday, I was just about to buy a return-home ticket…but my wallet was gone! I looked for hours, but I still couldn’t find it! Sitting in the station, I couldn’t help crying. All of a sudden, a tramp sat beside me, playing a lively song with his guitar.When he heard my story, without hesitation, he gave me all the change[零錢]that he had earned that day. I was so grateful that I hugged him tightly. Watching him walk away, I suddenly realized this was exactly the same tramp whom I had met many years ago! What a transmission of love!

本啟事長期有效。

本期《口語大本營》告訴我們要時刻追求完美，在這之前，你也許看過或聽過不少關于追求完美的故事和言論了吧？比如法國著名雕塑家羅丹為了塑造心目中完美的作品，而冷落了到他家做客的摯友茨威格；還有列夫·托爾斯泰的“If you look for perfection,you’ll never be content”。那么，追求完美或者說完美主義是一種好的品質還是成功路上的絆腳石呢？

答案是有可能兩者都是。為什么這么說呢？因為完美主義者可分為兩種：積極完美主義者和消極完美主義者。這兩種完美主義者存在許多相同之處。他們都會設下很高的標準，追求崇高的目標。兩者都會因為不懈的努力而培養出強大的技能，最終取得卓越的成就。不過，他們之間有一個很小的差異，但就是這個很小的差異讓兩者之間有了天壤之別——積極完美主義者以成就為導向，消極完美主義者則以失敗為導向。

舉例來說，假如你花更多時間去完成作業，目的是為了掌握課程材料，同時讓自己學得比所需要的還要深入，這就是一種積極完美主義；而如果你是因為害怕得到低分才會花很多時間在作業上，這就是消極完美主義了。

積極完美主義可以驅策我們前進，消極完美主義卻有可能阻礙我們。想知道自己是積極完美主義者還是消極完美主義者？問問你自己吧——“我可以做得更好”和“我做得不夠好”這兩句話，你更常想到哪一句呢？
