The next step was to know the men themselves, for it gave a messenger a great advantage, and often saved a long journey, if he knew members or employees of firms. He might meet one of these going direct to his office. It was reckoned a great triumph among the boys to deliver a message upon the street. And there was the additional satisfaction to the boy himself, that a great man (and most men are great to messengers), stopped upon the street in this way, seldom failed to note the boy and compliment him.

白话

送信时如果能认识收信公司的职员或成员,往往能省去长途奔波,因为可以直接把信交给正要去办公室的人。在街上成功送信被男孩们视为巨大胜利。而且,被拦下的“大人物”(在送信员眼里大多数人都很了不起)通常会注意到男孩并夸奖他,这让孩子很有成就感。所以,主动认识人、在街头灵活办事,比死板地跑腿更有效。

上下文

安德鲁·卡内基在自传中回忆自己少年时做电报信差的经历,当时他刚移民美国,在匹兹堡的电报公司工作。

今日一问

今天你在工作中,有没有主动认识那些能帮你省去麻烦的人?
