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

Mr. Beecher's weekly newspaper "syndicate" letter was not only successful in itself, it made liberal money for the writer and for its two young publishers, but it served to introduce Edward Bok's proposed agency to the newspapers under the most favorable conditions. With one stroke, the attention of newspaper editors had been attracted, and Edward concluded to take quick advantage of it. He organized the Bok Syndicate Press, with offices in New York, and his brother, William J. Bok, as partner and active manager. Edward's days were occupied, of course, with his duties in the Holt publishing house, where he was acquiring a first-hand knowledge of the business.

白话

比彻先生每周那篇“辛迪加”专栏信本身就很成功,既给作者赚了钱,也让两位年轻发行人获利,还顺带把爱德华想做的代理业务推到了各家报纸面前,条件好得不能再好。一下子,报纸编辑们的注意力就被吸引过来了。爱德华决定趁热打铁,在纽约成立博克辛迪加通讯社,拉弟弟威廉做合伙人和实际管理者。他自己白天仍在霍尔特出版社上班,边干边学行业门道。机会来了要快,但别急着辞职,先稳住本职。

上下文

博克在出版业打工期间,借专栏信的成功顺势创办自己的通讯社,同时保留原职学习业务。

今日一问

当机会突然出现时,你会立刻全力投入,还是先保住本职再稳步推进?
