Năm ngoái, một công ty chuyên đào tạo và tuyển dụng nhân sự đến trường tớ trong ngày hội việc làm, và đặt một vấn đề với sinh viên.
Họ đặt ra bài test kiểm tra khả năng thích ứng và tinh thần cầu tiến của sinh viên, bằng cách yêu cầu họ thực hiện "10 ngày thay đổi". Kết thúc 10 ngày, ai thực hiện thành công thì sẽ được nhận 100 ngàn đô la. Hhhhhhhh, quá dễ!
Tất nhiên là 100 ngàn đô la chả ai cho không, mà đó là bài test để tuyển chọn nhân tài, ai thành công thì sẽ được vào vòng phỏng vấn để đảm nhận một vị trí quan trọng với mức lương gần 10 ngàn USD/tháng, nghĩa là tính ra trong một năm có thể thu được 100 ngàn USD.
Vấn đề là: trong 30 người đăng ký tham gia, không ai hoàn thành được chỉ tiêu "10 ngày thay đổi"!
Tớ post lại bài này theo nguyên mẫu tiếng Anh, để mọi người test khả năng của mình.

What if a company promised to pay you $100,000 in return for following a 10-day plan that was not hazardous in any way, morally acceptable to you, and which was guaranteed to improve your life? Would you agree to follow the plan? You probably would because you wanted the $100,000 reward.
Here’s the $100,000 self-improvement plan that we are giving you:
The $100,000 Self Improvement Experiment
* 1. Get up at 6 A.M. each morning and study for one hour in your chosen field.
* 2. Before leaving home each morning, make a list of the 10 most important things to do for the day. At the end of the day, cross off your accomplished tasks. Remember that each accomplished task is a small victory and the subconscious mind needs to savor its accomplishments.
* 3. Three times a day - before leaving home each morning, while traveling, and
before going to sleep - repeat your own “Positive Self-Suggestion Statements.”
You can use the following statements given earlier as a guide or develop
your own personal statements that fit your lifestyle and personality.
Positive Self-Suggestion Statements
* I feel healthy; I feel happy; I feel terrific.
* I like myself; I like myself; I like myself.
* I will be successful; it’s inevitable because my aggressiveness will equal opportunities for my success.
* I can; I will; I want to. I can; I will; I want to.
* All things are possible through belief in myself and the Lord; and with his help I can accomplish anything.
* I feel great; I feel wonderful; I've got the world by the tail.
* If I start acting enthusiastic, I'll become enthusiastic.
* If I start acting positive, I'll become positive.
* If I start acting happy, I'll become happy.
* It's amazing; but when I act enthusiastic, others around me become enthusiastic.
* It's amazing; when I act positive, others around me become positive.
* It's amazing; when I act happy, others around me become happy.
* We have choices in life; we can act enthusiastic or we can act blasé; I choose to act enthusiastic.
* We can act positive or negative; I choose to act positive.
* We can act happy or sad; I choose to act happy.
* Why would anyone in their right mind want to act sad?
* Yes! I do feel healthy; I do feel happy because I am healthy; I do feel terrific.
* I really do have the world by the tail.
Each day for the next ten days you must look for the good in every situation. No matter how bad it may be, you must find something good about it. Even if the car runs out of gas, say something like this, “That's good; now I can get some needed exercise!” If it starts raining on you, you could say, “The rain is good. We needed more water for the flowers and birds.” No matter what happens, you must find good in it and believe there is good happening around you.
Each night before you go to sleep, you are to read for one hour, but you must also read a self-help book.
