a new pair of shoes
测脚买鞋
this story is about a man who needs a pair of shoes.
he is very good at maths,
so he decides to measure his feet thoroughly
to avoid that he buys shoes of the wrong size.
being convinced that now he is able to buy shoes
that will perfectly fit, he goes to the market.
at the market, he finds out however thatit is wise
not to think that only your own solution is the best solution,
and that there are often many different ways
to achieve something than your own.
“
once a man needed a new pair of shoes. this man was very good at math. he knew thatin order toget shoes that would fit perfectly it would be necessary tomeasure his shoe size with precision.
早年有一自个，需要一双新鞋子。这自个非常擅长数学。他晓得，要想得到一双最合脚的鞋子，就有必要精确地测量自个的鞋码。
