The awards opened yesterday and he won a prize of $500,000. So he felt very happy after work and felt the music was so wonderful, that he took out 50 dollars and put in the hat. However the lottery ticket was also thrown in. The violinist was a student at an Arts College and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. He had booked the ticket and would fly that morning. However when he was cleaning up he found the lottery ticket. Thinking that the owner would return to look for it, he cancelled the flight and came back to where he was given the lottery ticket.
昨天上午開獎，他中了50萬美元的獎金。昨天下班，他心情很好，覺得音樂也特別美妙，于是就從錢包里掏出50美元，放在了禮帽里，可是不小心把獎票也扔了進去。小提琴手是一名藝術學院的學生，本來打算去維也納進修，已經定好了機票，時間就在今天上午，可是他昨天整理東西時發現了這張獎票，想到失主會來找，于是今天就退掉了機票，又準時來到這里。
Later someone asked the violinist: "At that time you were in needed to pay the tuition fee and you had to play the violin in the subway station every day to make the money. Then why didn't you take the lottery ticket for yourself?"
后來，有人問小提琴手：“你當時那么需要一筆學費，為了賺夠這筆學費，你不得不每天到地鐵站拉提琴。那你為什么不把那50萬元的獎票留下呢？”
The violinist said, "Although I don't have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty I won't be happy forever."
小提琴手說：“雖然我沒錢，但我活得很快樂；假如我沒了誠信，我一天也不會快樂。”
Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. but being honest should always be with us. If we bear ourselves in a deceptive and dishonest way, we may succeed temporarily. however, from the long-term view, we will be a loser. such kind of people are just like the water on the mountain. it stands high above the masses at the beginning, but gradually it comes down inch by inch and loses the chance of going up.
在人的一生中，我們會得到許多，也會失去許多，但守信用卻應是始終陪伴我們的。如果以虛偽、不誠實的方式為人處世，也許能獲得暫時的“成功”，但從長遠看，他最終是個失敗者。這種人就像山上的水，剛開始的時候，是高高在上，但漸漸地它就越來越下降，再沒有一個上升的機會。
