安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Had he been born to labor and entered the House of Commons in youth, instead of being dropped without effort into the gilded upper chamber, he might have acquired in the rough-and-tumble of life the tougher skin, for he was highly sensitive and lacked tenacity of purpose essential to command in political life. He was a charming speaker--a eulogist with the lightest touch and the most graceful style upon certain themes of any speaker of his day. [Since these lines were written he has become, perhaps, the foremost eulogist of our race. He has achieved a high place. All honor to him!]

白话
卡内基认为,这位朋友若从小在底层打拼、年轻时进入下议院,而不是毫无努力就被安放进镀金的贵族院,或许能在生活的摸爬滚打中练出更厚的脸皮。他天生敏感,又缺乏政治领导所必需的那种咬住目标不放的韧劲。他是个迷人的演说家,尤其擅长颂词,风格轻灵优雅,当时无人能及。后来他果然成为我们种族最杰出的颂词家之一,取得了很高的地位,值得一切荣誉。
上下文
安德鲁·卡内基在自传中评论一位英国贵族朋友,此人后来成为著名颂词家。卡内基借此对比贵族出身与平民历练对性格的影响。
今日一问
我是否因为环境太顺,而缺少了在挫折中练出韧性的机会?
