美语坛的网友ryu分享的《Something About Attitude--The Beauty of Mathematics〉非常的有趣，作者用英语的26个字母和26个数字，巧妙的排列组合，来阐明Hard Work，Knowledge和Attitude三者之间的关系。可谓是数学和语言的结合，有数学的精密，有语言的生动。虽然我对这些数字的不敏感，然而, 这不并不妨碍我对这篇文章的欣赏，这是一篇简洁明了的励志好文，颇受启迪，尤其喜欢文章的结尾：“While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, Attitude will get you there."
我也不由地想起了培根《论求知 Of Studies》的一段名言了：“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.Histories make men wise;poets witty; the mathematics subtile;natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.Abeunt studia in mores.”何新的《论求知》也翻译的非常好，一并附上：“读书使人的头脑充实，讨论使人明辩是非，作笔记则能使知识精确。读史使人明智，读诗使人聪慧，演算使人精密，哲理使人深刻，伦理学使人有修养，逻辑修辞使人善辩。总之，“知识能塑造人的性格”。

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z
Is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.
then
H-A-R-D-W-O-R- K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%
and
K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%
But
A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%
Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that: While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, Attitude will get you there!
