I waslingering[徘徊]at the front gate, hesitated about walking down the street to play with my friend, Verma, when I saw a tramp coming towards me.

“Hello, little girl,” he said. “Is your mom home?”

I stared at him quizzically[疑惑地]. He wore a black jacket, withunkempt[蓬乱的]hair and scraggly[不整齐的]beard. What impressed me most was the bulky[笨重的]guitar that he carried—this must be a wandering artist.

“Well, she is.” I asked him to wait in the yard when I went to inform my mom. After a while,my mom came out. Her expression didn’t show much astonishment as I expected. It seemed like the tramp hadanticipated[预料]this. He smiled gently, taking out a piece of paper—with our home address on it.

It was on a freezing cold night that my mom and this trampencountered[邂逅]a year ago. He was begging near a bus stop where my mom usually waited for the bus. As she passed by the man,her sympathy drove her to give him some money and chat with him. Then she noticed a broken guitar lying beside the man. At the end of the conversation, my mom put forward a proposal[提议]that he should raise money to buy a new guitar, because she really looked forward to listening to his music. This tramp was so thankful that he took down our address.

With tearful eyes, the man said to my mom, “Now,I’d love to share my music and happiness with you. It was my hardest time. I lost my favourite guitar. Without your encouragement, I would probably lose the hope to live.”

Many years later, I became a college student and went on a journey by myself. After a meaningful holiday, I was just about to buy a return-home ticket…but my wallet was gone! I looked for hours, but I still couldn’t find it! Sitting in the station, I couldn’t help crying. All of a sudden, a tramp sat beside me, playing a lively song with his guitar.When he heard my story, without hesitation, he gave me all the change[零钱]that he had earned that day. I was so grateful that I hugged him tightly. Watching him walk away, I suddenly realized this was exactly the same tramp whom I had met many years ago! What a transmission of love!

本启事长期有效。

本期《口语大本营》告诉我们要时刻追求完美，在这之前，你也许看过或听过不少关于追求完美的故事和言论了吧？比如法国著名雕塑家罗丹为了塑造心目中完美的作品，而冷落了到他家做客的挚友茨威格；还有列夫·托尔斯泰的“If you look for perfection,you’ll never be content”。那么，追求完美或者说完美主义是一种好的品质还是成功路上的绊脚石呢？

答案是有可能两者都是。为什么这么说呢？因为完美主义者可分为两种：积极完美主义者和消极完美主义者。这两种完美主义者存在许多相同之处。他们都会设下很高的标准，追求崇高的目标。两者都会因为不懈的努力而培养出强大的技能，最终取得卓越的成就。不过，他们之间有一个很小的差异，但就是这个很小的差异让两者之间有了天壤之别——积极完美主义者以成就为导向，消极完美主义者则以失败为导向。

举例来说，假如你花更多时间去完成作业，目的是为了掌握课程材料，同时让自己学得比所需要的还要深入，这就是一种积极完美主义；而如果你是因为害怕得到低分才会花很多时间在作业上，这就是消极完美主义了。

积极完美主义可以驱策我们前进，消极完美主义却有可能阻碍我们。想知道自己是积极完美主义者还是消极完美主义者？问问你自己吧——“我可以做得更好”和“我做得不够好”这两句话，你更常想到哪一句呢？
