    When I was a teenager growing up in Russia, I wanted to leave school and have my own life. The only way I could do this was to work in the local brick factory in my town, or get married. I was nervous when I told my father I wanted to leave school. I thought he would say, "No! You are going to college." He took me by surprise when he said, “OK. We'll go to the brick factory.”
    Two days later, he took me to the factory. I had a very romantic idea of working in a factory. I had imagined everyone to be friends working together and having fun. I even imagined there would be music and singing. I guess I had watched too many movies as a teenager.
    When we arrived at the factory gate, my father spoke to the guard and one minute later we were inside. My father said, “Take your time. Look around.” I walked around the factory looking at the building, the workers, and listening to the noise. It was horrible. I ran back to my father and said, “I want to go home.”
    He asked me, “What do you think of the factory?”
    "It's terrible," I replied.
    "And marriage is even worse!" he said.
    I went back to school the next day thinking about studying hard so I could get into a good college. I enjoyed studying English so I decided to major in languages at college. Thanks to my father and our trip to the brick factory, I now work at the United Nations and my father is very proud of me. I married a very good man and my life is much better than it would have been working in the factory!

甲得道多助,失道寡助
天时不如地利,地利不如人和。三里之城,七里之郭,环而攻之而不胜。夫环而攻之,必有得天时者矣;然而不胜者,是天时不如地利也。城非不高也,池非不深也,兵革非不坚利也,米粟非不多也;委而去之,地利不如人和也。故曰,域民不以封疆之界,固国不以山溪之险,威天下不以兵革之利。得道者多助,失道者寡助。寡助之至,亲戚畔之;多助之至,天下顺之。以天下之所顺,攻亲戚之所畔;故君子有不战,战必胜矣。
乙仁者无敌
梁惠王曰:“晋国,天下莫强焉叟之所知也。及寡人之身,东败于齐,长子死焉;西丧地于秦七百里;南辱于楚。寡人耻之,愿比死者一洒之①,如之何②则可?”
孟子对曰;“地方百里而可以王。王如施仁政于民,省刑罚,薄税敛,深耕易耨③;壮者以暇日修其孝悌忠信,入以事其父兄,出以事其长上。可使制梃以达秦楚之坚甲利兵矣。
“彼夺其民时,使不得耕耨以养其父母。父母冻饿,兄弟妻子离散,彼陷溺其民,王往而征之,夫谁与王敌?故曰:‘仁者无敌。’王请勿疑!”
【注释】①比:替,为;一:全,都;洒:洗刷。全句说,希望为全体死难者报仇雪恨。 ②如之何:对他怎么办。③易耨:及时除草。易,疾,速,快;耨,除草。
