爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok felt that this constant thought of the wages earned or deserved was putting the cart before the horse; he had schooled himself into the belief that if he did his work well, and accomplished more than was expected of him, the question of wages would take care of itself. But, according to the talk on every side, it was he who had the cart before the horse. Bok had not only tried always to fill the particular job set for him but had made it a rule at the same time to study the position just ahead, to see what it was like, what it demanded, and then, as the opportunity presented itself, do a part of that job in addition to his own. As a stenographer, he tried always to clear off the day's work before he closed his desk. This was not always possible, but he kept it before him as a rule to be followed rather than violated.

白话
博克觉得,整天算计“我该拿多少工资”是本末倒置。他相信只要把活干好、超出预期,报酬自然会跟上。可身边人都在说相反的话,好像他才是搞反了的人。但他坚持:不仅做好分内事,还提前研究上一级岗位需要什么,一有机会就顺手做一点。当速记员时,他总争取当天事当天清,虽不总能做到,但始终拿它当规矩。这告诉我们:先创造价值,再谈价格;主动多走一步,机会来时才接得住。

今日一问
我今天能不能在完成分内事之外,主动做一点“上一级”的工作?
