Now whether this story is exactly true, or almost true, it's still a story that circulates around IBM, and a story that creates a certain reality in IBM, a reality that says "you have to try".
無論這則故事是否100%真是 還是部分真實 在IBM公司廣為流傳 在IBM公司營造了良好的氛圍 告訴大家“你必須嘗試”

吉姆·伯克走進他的辦公室 可想而知膽戰心驚 他走進約翰遜將軍的辦公室 約翰遜將軍從桌邊走到他面前 說 “恭喜 吉姆·伯克 恭喜”
"Sir, I just made a mistake, sir."
先生 我剛犯了個錯
"Yes, I know. This is the only way to learn. The more mistakes you make, the more successful you will be. Congratulations!"
“是的 我知道 這是學習的唯一方法 現在犯得錯越多 將來越有可能成功 恭喜”
And Jim Burke was all happy and about to walk out. And General Johnson says, "oh, just one more thing, Jim: if you make the same mistake again, I'm going to fire you."
吉姆·伯克非常高興 正準備離開 約翰遜將軍又說“還有一件事 吉姆 如果你再犯同樣的錯 我會炒了你”
But again, a story that goes around Johnson & Johnson about the importance of failure. Jim Burke, by the way, became the most successful CEO of Johnson & Johnson.
