经典名人故事：The secret of success

A young man once asked Albert Einstein what the secret of success was. The great scientist told him that the secret of success was hard work.

A few days later the young man asked him the same question again. Einstein was very annoyed.

He did not say anything but wrote a few words on a piece of paper and handed it to the young man. The young man looked at the piece of paper. On it was written:

X=Y+X+Z

"What does this mean?" asked the young man.

"A means success," explained the old scientist. "X stands for hard work, Y stands for good methods, and Y means that you should stop talking and get down to work."

他一句话也没说，只是在一张纸上写下几个字，递给那年轻人。年轻人看了纸条，只见上面写着：

X=Y+X+Z

“这是什么意思?”年轻人问道。
