Thurston J. Howell
Thurston J. Howell III is a character on the CBS television sitcom Gilligan's Island, which was in first-run from 1964 to 1967, and has been rerun ever since in syndication.
Howell, portrayed by veteran actor Jim Backus, is so wealthy that he took tens of thousands of dollars in cash and several changes of clothing with him for what was intended to be only a three-hour boat tour in Hawaii, one of the sillier premises of the show. Howell is a stereotypical member of the Northeastern Yankee elite and is a graduate of "Hahvahd" University. His wife, Lovey, portrayed by Natalie Schafer, is conscious of social strata, yet seems to be a good-hearted woman with a deep sense of noblesse oblige allowing her to interact with the other passengers and crew, though they are all her social inferiors. One of the implied humorous points of the show is that Thurston continually fails to realize that all of the Howells' money is essentially useless to them on the island. On the other hand, the other castaways apparently tolerate the fact that he refuses to do any work. One of the most unusual aspects of his character is that, even though he is married, he sleeps with a teddy bear that he calls "Teddy". (The Howells also slept in twin beds, this being the 1960s, even though another show that also debuted in 1964, The Munsters, had the parents, Herman and Lily, sleeping in a double bed.)
Howell was included on Forbes Magazine's 2005 list of the 15 richest fictional characters. Just how much money he had was never specified, but he was shown as owning several large corporations. When asked what happened to him during the Great Depression, his wife says that he lost most of his money and "became just a millionaire." Among his assets were a diamond mine, a coconut plantation, a railroad, an oil well, and 40 acres in Colorado-which included all of downtown Denver-that he bequeathed to his fellow castaways in his will.
思想火花
人總是渴望自己得不到的物質(zhì)和生活，也總是想先玩命工作，其他都靠后，等到自己想要的金錢和地位后，就可以好好享受了。想法雖然沒(méi)有錯(cuò)，所謂“吃苦在前，享受在后”嘛。但問(wèn)題是，等你有錢有時(shí)間去享受了，你曾經(jīng)排后的那些東西還會(huì)在原地等你嗎？
