安德鲁·卡内基：安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 110
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
The subject of my article was upon the attitude of the city toward the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. It was signed anonymously and I was surprised to find it got a prominent place in the columns of the "Journal," then owned and edited by Robert M. Riddle. I, as operator, received a telegram addressed to Mr. Scott and signed by Mr. Stokes, asking him to ascertain from Mr. Riddle who the author of that communication was. I knew that Mr. Riddle could not tell the author, because he did not know him; but at the same time I was afraid that if Mr. Scott called upon him he would hand him the manuscript, which Mr. Scott would certainly recognize at a glance. I therefore made a clean breast of it to Mr. Scott and told him I was the author. He seemed incredulous. He said he had read it that morning and wondered who had written it. His incredulous look did not pass me unnoticed. The pen was getting to be a weapon with me. Mr. Stokes's invitation to spend Sunday with him followed soon after, and the visit is one of the bright spots in my life. Henceforth we were great friends.

白话
卡内基匿名给《日报》投稿，批评市政府对宾夕法尼亚铁路公司的态度，文章被放在显要位置。报社老板里德尔并不知道作者是谁。但铁路公司高层斯托克斯发电报给斯科特，让他去问里德尔作者是谁。卡内基怕斯科特一看到手稿就能认出自己的笔迹，干脆主动向斯科特坦白。斯科特起初不信，说早上读过还在猜是谁写的。卡内基注意到他不信的表情，也意识到笔正成为自己的武器。不久斯托克斯邀他共度周末，两人从此成为好友。

当你匿名表达观点可能被追查时，你会选择主动坦白，还是继续隐藏？
