安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

I had served as messenger about a year, when Colonel John P. Glass, the manager of the downstairs office, who came in contact with the public, began selecting me occasionally to watch the office for a few minutes during his absence. As Mr. Glass was a highly popular man, and had political aspirations, these periods of absence became longer and more frequent, so that I soon became an adept in his branch of the work. I received messages from the public and saw that those that came from the operating-room were properly assigned to the boys for prompt delivery.

白话

卡内基当信差约一年后,楼下办公室的经理格拉斯上校常让他临时看办公室。格拉斯是个受欢迎的人,有政治野心,所以外出的时间越来越长、越来越频繁。卡内基因此很快熟悉了这份工作:接收公众发来的信息,并确保操作室传来的信息被正确分配给男孩们及时投递。他抓住机会,在别人需要时顶上去,从而学到了新技能。

上下文

安德鲁·卡内基在自传中回忆自己少年时在匹兹堡电报公司当信差的经历。

今日一问

当同事临时离开时,你是否愿意主动接手他的工作,并借此学习新技能?
