This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures. Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals. Merely acting on one's desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.?
The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking. Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work. Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates. In addition, however, one might also cite flawed individual assessment as a reason. ?
In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly. A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge. In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric. A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.
譯文：
這幅畫很可笑，但引人注目。一位身體龐大的顧客在裁縫仔細地爲他量尺寸準備做衣服時，手裏卻拿着一塊小得令人絕望的衣料。這幅畫告訴我們，一個人在執行任務的過程中必須考慮到實際情況，僅從主觀意願出發而不顧眼前的事實，是不可能成功的。?
當前大學生的就業率使我們意識到進行合理思考的重要性，每年有大約300萬大學生從學校畢業，尋找工作，他們中的很多人並沒有找到一份適合自己的工作，有一個原因是沒有足夠的就業機會提供給數量如此龐大的畢業生。但除此而外，過高的自我估計也是可能的原因之一。?
爲了能夠實現未來目標，一個人必須做出合理的決定，並做好相應的.準備。比如一個志在成爲外科醫生的學生，就必須確保自己有臨牀實習的機會和足夠的知識，換句話說，顧客在購買衣料前必須先量好準確的尺寸，一個大塊頭是無法穿上一小塊布料的.
