“A jock and a geek applying for the same job.
The boss said, “Boys, you need to take a test before you can get this job.”
So they took the test and the next day they came back to see who the boss chose. “Well,” he said, “Both of you got the same score except I’m going to choose the geek.”
The jock complained, “Don’t you think that’s prejudice or something?”
“Well,” the boss said, “Let me tell you what happened. Both of your papers were right all the way through until the last question came up, and the geek answered ‘I don’t know,’ and then when I looked at your paper, you answered, ‘Me either’.

“Not in mental science but in social psychology, it is said that when people become rich, they seek fulfillment and want to think of themselves as different from others: They want something to live for. Such hope may be inevitable in a rich society. And it is good to seek something to live for. But, on the other hand, some people are blind to their existing happiness, and they think, “I don’t have anything” or “I am not privileged compared with others.” They are denying themselves, which is a significant problem. Because people have easy access to a lot of information nowadays, they can see themselves relative to others and lose their own way of evaluating themselves, saying, “Others make much more effort than I do” or “Other people are more successful than me, even though they are same age as me.”

“『能力を持った人は努力する人に勝てない。努力する人は楽しむ人に勝てない』という言葉がある。この言葉の解釈はいろいろありうるが、私は、楽しむことによって、勝つ/負けるといった意味はなくなる、というところにポイントがあると理解している。（金成垣：東京大学社会科学研究所助教授）”
