爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

His chief regret on leaving his position was in severing the close relations, almost as of father and son, between Mr. Cary and himself. When Edward was left alone, with the passing away of his father, Clarence Cary had put his sheltering arm around the lonely boy, and with the tremendous encouragement of the phrase that the boy never forgot, "I think you have it in you, Edward, to make a successful man," he took him under his wing. It was a turning-point in Edward Bok's life, as he felt at the time and as he saw more clearly afterward.

白话

博克离开西联时最不舍的,是失去与卡里先生之间近乎父子的情谊。父亲去世后,卡里主动照顾这个孤独的少年,并说了一句让他终生难忘的鼓励:“爱德华,我觉得你身上有成功者的潜质。”这句话成了博克人生的转折点。这提醒我们,在成长的关键时刻,一句真诚的肯定可能改变一个人的轨迹。如果你身边有失去方向或缺乏自信的年轻人,不妨主动给予具体的鼓励和实际的帮助;如果你自己正处在低谷,也要珍惜那些愿意拉你一把的人,并把这份善意传递下去。

上下文

克拉伦斯·卡里是博克在西联电报公司时的上司,在博克父亲去世后给予他父辈般的关怀和鼓励。

今日一问

你生命中是否有人曾用一句话点亮你?你今天可以给谁一句真诚的鼓励?
