除了这个我们都熟悉的平衡规律的例子,我们还可以举出其它一些例子:食品吃得大多太好超过一定程度似乎会增加对医疗卫生的需要;假期大多会要求有更多的娱乐场所、旅馆,也会使交通更拥挤。

毛泽东在许多重要方面仍然是这个国家的道德世界中心。作为一个例证,我们可以看一下上星期当中国庆祝他诞生一百周年时全国出现的一股新的毛泽东热。人们不仅争抢有他头像的徽章,而且花上 8888元这个有幸运意义的数字去争购为纪念他12月 26日生日制作的宝石金表。

伟人们都把看上去可浪费的时间充分利用起来,使之产生效率。爱迪生在做电报报务员的时候。利用发报间隙搞出了许多发明。斯托夫人这个有六个孩子的母亲在烤肉的时候,用包生肉的纸写下了<汤姆叔叔的小屋>中的一些章节。富兰克林在他一生中也有许多这样的例子。
