700　Rich 富

After moving to the United States, a Chinese student decided to have an English name. She chose the name Patience because she wanted to be reminded to be patient. Every time someone called her name, the message was reinforced. I told this story to my students and asked them what names they would select for themselves. After considering the question, one young man raised his hand and said, “Rich.”

一个中国学生到美国来以后给自己起了一个英文名字叫Patience，因为她想提醒自己要有耐心。每当别人叫她的时候，就强化这个信息。我把这个故事告诉我的学生，问他们想给自己起什么名字。一个小伙子想了一下，举起手来说：“富。”
