Back in the 1970s, when I was in Japan picking up stories for documentaries, I came across a crazy motivational strategy for stressed-out businessmen. They were taken into the mountains where they stripped off to nothing but a loincloth. 早在20世纪70年代，当我还在日本为纪录片搜集故事的时候，我就为压力大的商人们想到了一个疯狂的激励策略。把他们带到山上，除了缠腰布外，他们一无所有。 They then sat, for as long as they could bear it, at the bottom of a waterfall under a rushing torrent of icy water cascading on their head. It was terrifying but they all did it. The minimum time was about two minutes (I'd have caved in after 20 seconds) but some stoics sat there for up to six or seven minutes. 之后，他们在瀑布下方坐着，任由瀑布冰水急速的从头顶落下，他们可以尽情的坐着，直至无法忍受。这很可怕，但他们都做到了。有人最短呆了2分钟（要是我的话，20秒就受不了了），但有些禁欲主义者却能呆至6至7分钟。 |
