安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 35

安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

He took me to a refreshment stand and ordered a glass of sarsaparilla for me, which I drank with as much relish as if it were the nectar of the gods. To this day nothing that I have ever seen of the kind rivals the image which remains in my mind of the gorgeousness of the highly ornamented brass vessel out of which that nectar came foaming. Often as I have passed the identical spot I see standing there the old woman's sarsaparilla stand, and I marvel what became of the dear old sailor. I have tried to trace him, but in vain, hoping that if found he might be enjoying a ripe old age, and that it might be in my power to add to the pleasure of his declining years. He was my ideal Tom Bowling, and when that fine old song is sung I always see as the "form of manly beauty" my dear old friend Barryman. Alas! ere this he's gone aloft. Well; by his kindness on the voyage he made one boy his devoted friend and admirer.

白话

老水手带小卡内基喝一杯沙士汽水,他喝得如饮神酒,连那华丽铜杯都念念不忘。后来他常经过旧地,想找到那位水手报答,却无果。核心是:童年时一点善意会留下终身印记,并激发感恩之心。做法是:记住帮助过你的人,尝试寻找并回报;即使找不到,也把这份善意传递下去。背后的取舍是:感恩不一定能直接回报本人,但可以转化为对他人的慷慨。

你生命中有没有一位你想感谢却失去联系的人?你可以如何把这份善意传递下去?
