古希腊的大哲学家苏格拉底在临终前有一个不小的遗憾——他多年的得力助手,居然在半年多的时间里没能给他寻找到一个最优秀的关门弟子。事情是这样的:苏格拉底在风烛残年之际,知道自己时日不多了,就想考验和点化一下他的那位平时看来很不错的助手。他把助手叫到床前说:“我的蜡所剩不多了,得找另一根蜡接着点下去,你明白我的意思吗?” Socrates, the great philosopher of ancient Greece, had a great regret before dying - his good assistant for many years actually failed to find him one of the best disciples in the past six months. This is the case: Socrates knew nothing about his time, just wanting to test and refine his usual aide, who looked good. He called his aide to the bed and said, “There is not enough wax left for me. I have to find another wax and keep going. Do you understand my point?”
