安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I had the great pleasure of presenting the Committee to President Cleveland at Washington in 1887, who received the members cordially and assured them of his hearty coöperation. From that day the abolition of war grew in importance with me until it finally overshadowed all other issues. The surprising action of the first Hague Conference gave me intense joy. Called primarily to consider disarmament (which proved a dream), it created the commanding reality of a permanent tribunal to settle international disputes. I saw in this the greatest step toward peace that humanity had ever taken, and taken as if by inspiration, without much previous discussion. No wonder the sublime idea captivated the conference.

白话
卡内基认为,1887年他带委员会见克利夫兰总统后,废除战争逐渐成为他心中最重要的事。第一次海牙会议本为讨论裁军,结果裁军成了空想,却意外建立了常设仲裁法庭来解决国际争端。他视此为人类迈向和平的最大一步,而且这个想法几乎没经过多少讨论就仿佛灵感般被会议接受,令他无比欣喜。核心是:理想虽不能一步实现,但可以催生切实的制度。做法上,不必因宏大目标一时落空就放弃,转而支持能落地的机制,比如仲裁、对话平台,让和平有具体抓手。

你有一个远大目标暂时无法实现时,能否先推动一个可落地的小机制?
