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

Eventually, then, Bok learned that the path that led to success was wide open: the competition was negligible. There was no jostling. In fact, travel on it was just a trifle lonely. One's fellow-travellers were excellent company, but they were few! It was one of Edward Bok's greatest surprises, but it was also one of his greatest stimulants. To go where others could not go, or were loath to go, where at least they were not, had a tang that savored of the freshest kind of adventure. And the way was so simple, so much simpler, in fact, than its avoidance, which called for so much argument, explanation, and discussion. One had merely to do all that one could do, a little more than one was asked or expected to do, and immediately one's head rose above the crowd and one was in an employer's eye--where it is always so satisfying for an employee to be! And as so few heads lifted themselves above the many, there was never any danger that they would not be seen.

白话

最终博克发现,通往成功的路宽宽敞敞:竞争微不足道,没人挤你。事实上,走这条路还有点孤独。同行者都是好伙伴,但人很少!这让他既惊讶又振奋。去别人不去或不愿去的地方,有种新鲜冒险的刺激。方法很简单:只要尽己所能,比要求或预期多做一点,立刻就能出头,被雇主看见。因为很少有人冒尖,所以从不担心不被发现。

上下文

博克总结成功的关键在于主动多做一些,而大多数人并不这样做。
