安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
In the autumn of 1905 Mrs. Carnegie and I attended the ceremony of giving the Freedom of Dunfermline to our friend, Dr. John Ross, chairman of the Carnegie Dunfermline Trust, foremost and most zealous worker for the good of the town. Provost Macbeth in his speech informed the audience that the honor was seldom conferred, that there were only three living burgesses--one their member of Parliament, H. Campbell-Bannerman, then Prime Minister; the Earl of Elgin of Dunfermline, ex-Viceroy of India, then Colonial Secretary; and the third myself. This seemed great company for me, so entirely out of the running was I as regards official station.

白话
1905年秋,卡内基夫妇参加授予邓弗姆林荣誉市民权的仪式,受赠者是他们的朋友约翰·罗斯博士,他是卡内基邓弗姆林信托基金主席,也是为小镇福祉最热心的人。市长麦克白在演讲中说,这项荣誉很少授予,当时在世的荣誉市民只有三位:一位是他们的议员、时任首相坎贝尔-班纳曼;一位是邓弗姆林的埃尔金伯爵、前印度总督、时任殖民地大臣;第三位就是卡内基自己。卡内基觉得能与这些大人物为伍很荣幸,因为他在官场上完全排不上号。

今日一问
我是否珍视那些并非因官职而获得的荣誉和认可?
