约翰·D·洛克菲勒《洛克菲勒回忆录》· Random Reminiscences of Men and Events · 领导

I have been frank to say that I believe in the spirit of combination and coöperation when properly and fairly conducted in the world of commercial affairs, on the principle that it helps to reduce waste; and waste is a dissipation of power. I sincerely hope and thoroughly believe that this same principle will eventually prevail in the art of giving as it does in business. It is not merely the tendency of the times developed by more exacting conditions in industry, but it should make its most effective appeal to the hearts of the people who are striving to do the most good to the largest number.

白话

洛克菲勒坦率地说,他相信在商业事务中,只要正当公平地经营,联合与合作的 spirit 是好的,因为合作有助于减少浪费,而浪费就是消耗力量。他真诚希望并相信,同样的原则最终也会在捐赠这件事上流行起来,就像在商业中一样。这不只是时代趋势,也是对那些想用最大努力造福最多人的人发出的呼吁。换句话说,做慈善也应该像做生意一样讲合作、讲效率、减少重复和浪费,把资源集中起来办大事,而不是各干各的、互相抵消。

上下文

洛克菲勒在回忆录中为商业联合辩护,并把同样的逻辑推广到慈善领域。他主张慈善也应合作,减少浪费。

今日一问

你所在的团队或社区在做公益时,有没有因为各自为政而浪费资源?可以怎么合作?
