     Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict, ” he
jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie.
“I’m working harder than ever, ” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”
     More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the
United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many
companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became
known as    “dressdown Friday” or “casual Friday.” “What started out as an extra onedayaweek benefit
for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.

     Should we always believe others’ dissuasion (劝阻)?
     Even the great Thomas Alva Edison discouraged his friend, Henry Ford, from pursuing his idea of a
motorcar. Convinced of the worthlessness of the idea, Edison invited Ford to come and work for him.
Ford remained devoted and tirelessly pursued his dream. Although his first attempt resulted in a vehicle
without reverse gear (倒车装置), Henry Ford knew he could make it happen. And, of course, he did.
    “Forget it, ” the experts advised Madame Curie. They agreed radium was a scientifically impossible
idea. However, Marie Curie insisted, “I can make it happen.”
     Let’s not forget Orville and Wilbur Wright. Journalists, friends, and even their father laughed at the
idea of an airplane. “What a silly and crazy way to spend money. Leave flying to the birds, ” they said.
“Sorry, ” the Wright brothers responded. “We have a dream, and we can make it happen.” As a result,
a place called Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, became the setting for the realization of their “ridiculous”
idea.
     Finally, as you read these accounts under the magnificent lighting of your environment, consider the
condition of Benjamin Franklin. He was warned to stop the foolish experimenting with lighting. “What an
absurdity and waste of time! Why, nothing could do better than the useful oil lamp.”
