介于最近高盛的事,哈佛商学院搞了一个花样,让所有毕业上签一份保证书,保证以后
不为了谋取私利而伤害客户和社会的利益。

还搞了一个网站:

MBA这个东西是美国人搞出来的,其实创立这个学位就是一个商业行为,和学术毫无关
系。这个教人怎么忽悠的学位是东西彻头彻尾美国这个提倡忽悠的社会的产物。

美国有个词,叫“salesmanship".中文没有对应的词汇。salesmanship字面上是把一个
东西成功卖给对方的能力,广义说是推销自我的能力。这个词很冠冕堂皇,其本质就是
教你怎么在做纸老虎,怎么在没有真正能力真正知识情况下让人觉得你有真正能力真正
知识。当然忽悠是人的本性,中国人会忽悠的人也不少。但是区别在于,中国忽悠是一
个贬义词,不被提倡的。美国社会主流意识里面,salesmanship是一个褒义词,是被大
家推崇鼓励的。

举几个简单的例子,公司面试,问你:“请你谈谈你的弱点”。大家都知道都不能直说
,只能说一些不痛不痒的东西。我就奇怪了,你问一个问题不想让对方说真话?是来考
察对方如何拐弯抹角的来从容应付这个问题?问这个问题的人自己知不知道对方的回答
99%是瞎编的?问这个问题目的是什么?

美国人考大学,考MBA, 都要写essay. 大家都知道,报考MBA十个人有九个是为了以后
毕业去银行,去咨询,去投资业,那高工资,做人上人。诡异的是, MBA Essay 从来
没有人说我考MBA是为了以后挣更高工资,大部分说的是以后要搞一个慈善基金,来拨
款解决世界贫穷/疾病/环境/教育事业。 你说那写考官读了这些东西,他是真的相信,
还是知道学生在瞎扯?我想他是知道在瞎扯,既然知道是瞎扯,那他出这个题目目的是
什么?是纯粹考察学生英语写作能力?还是确实在考察学生忽悠能力?

中国人也有搞这些虚头八脑的东西,但是中国人自己知道这东西是虚头八脑,自己会觉
得理亏。。美国人是趾高气扬抬头挺胸搞这些东西,而且自己确确实实不认为这是虚伪
的。好像有人说过,骗子的最高形式就是自己没觉得在骗人。是不是美国社会已经到了
这个境界了?
