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

The child privileged to develop amid such surroundings absorbs poetry and romance with the air he breathes, assimilates history and tradition as he gazes around. These become to him his real world in childhood--the ideal is the ever-present real. The actual has yet to come when, later in life, he is launched into the workaday world of stern reality. Even then, and till his last day, the early impressions remain, sometimes for short seasons disappearing perchance, but only apparently driven away or suppressed. They are always rising and coming again to the front to exert their influence, to elevate his thought and color his life. No bright child of Dunfermline can escape the influence of the Abbey, Palace, and Glen. These touch him and set fire to the latent spark within, making him something different and beyond what, less happily born, he would have become. Under these inspiring conditions my parents had also been born, and hence came, I doubt not, the potency of the romantic and poetic strain which pervaded both.

白话

卡内基说,一个孩子若有幸在充满历史与传说的环境里长大,会把诗歌和浪漫当成呼吸一样自然吸收,把历史和传统看成眼前真实的世界。童年时,理想就是他每天看到的现实;等他后来被推进冷硬的谋生世界,这些早年的印象也不会真正消失,只是偶尔被压下去,之后还会不断冒出来,提升他的想法、给他的生活染上色彩。他的结论是:环境会点燃孩子心里潜伏的火种,让人变得和出身较差的孩子不一样。

上下文

出自卡内基自传,他回忆自己在苏格兰邓弗姆林度过的童年,那里有修道院、宫殿和峡谷。

今日一问

你正在给孩子或自己营造什么样的日常环境,让好的东西自然被吸收?
