爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Edward Bok does not now remember whether the mental picture had been given him, or whether he had conjured it up for himself; but he certainly was possessed of the idea, as are so many young men entering business, that the path which led to success was very difficult: that it was overfilled with a jostling, bustling, panting crowd, each eager to reach the goal; and all ready to dispute every step that a young man should take; and that favoritism only could bring one to the top.

白话
爱德华·博克现在不记得这个心理画面是别人给他的,还是他自己想象出来的;但他确实和许多刚入商的年轻人一样,抱有一种观念:通往成功的路非常艰难,挤满了推搡、忙碌、喘息的人群,每个人都渴望到达终点,随时准备争夺年轻人迈出的每一步,而且只有靠偏袒才能爬到顶层。这种想法会让人畏缩或愤世嫉俗。实际上,成功更多靠的是持续行动、发现需求并解决问题,而不是在拥挤的赛道上与人争抢。
