一个画家画了一幅颇为得意的画后,拿到画廊里展出,在旁边放了一支笔并附上他的要求:每一位观赏者如果认为这画有欠佳之笔,均请在画上作记号。晚上,画家取回了这幅画,发现整个画面都被涂满了记号,几乎没有一处不被指责。画家决定换一个方式试试看。他又摹了一张同样的画拿到画廊上展出,不过这次要求与上次不同,他请每位观赏者将他们最为欣赏的妙笔都标上记号。当他再取回画时,他看到画面又被涂满了记号,原先被指责的地方,却都换上了赞美的标记。同样的画,却遭到不同的命运——先是视为一无是处,后被认为天才杰作,幸好这个画家有着充足的自信心,否则可能被批评的潮水淹没了。我常常把这个故事说给人听,比如屡遭退稿却有创作天分的作者,那些胸怀大志去求职却 An artist paints a rather exquisite painting and takes it to the gallery for display, putting a pen next to it and attaching his request: if every viewer thinks it has a poor pen, Please mark on the drawing.
