安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Mr. Blaine, as Secretary of State in Harrison's Cabinet, was a decided success and the Pan-American Congress his most brilliant triumph. My only political appointment came at this time and was that of a United States delegate to the Congress. It gave me a most interesting view of the South American Republics and their various problems. We sat down together, representatives of all the republics but Brazil. One morning the announcement was made that a new constitution had been ratified. Brazil had become a member of the sisterhood, making seventeen republics in all--now twenty-one. There was great applause and cordial greeting of the representatives of Brazil thus suddenly elevated. I found the South American representatives rather suspicious of their big brother's intentions. A sensitive spirit of independence was manifest, which it became our duty to recognize. In this I think we succeeded, but it will behoove subsequent governments to scrupulously respect the national feeling of our Southern neighbors. It is not control, but friendly coöperation upon terms of perfect equality we should seek.

白话
卡内基以美国代表身份参加泛美会议，亲眼看到巴西新宪法获批、加入共和国大家庭的场面。他发现南美代表对美国这个“大哥哥”心存戒备，独立意识很强。他的结论是：美国应当尊重南方邻国的民族情感，追求的不是控制，而是在完全平等基础上的友好合作。这个判断放到今天依然成立：跟比自己弱的一方打交道，越是强调平等、越不摆架子，合作越长久；一旦露出控制意图，对方立刻警惕，信任就没了。
上下文
卡内基在自传中回忆自己作为美国代表参加泛美会议的经历，当时布兰恩任国务卿，巴西刚通过新宪法加入。
今日一问
你在合作中，有没有不自觉流露出“我说了算”的姿态，让对方起了戒心？
