爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok was attracted to the work: he had never seen the United States, was anxious to do so, and looked upon the chance as a good opportunity. Miss Davenport had the contract made out, executed it, and then, in high glee, Bok took it home to show it to his mother. He had reckoned without question upon her approval, only to meet with an immediate and decided negative to the proposition as a whole, general and specific. She argued that the theatrical business was not for him; and she saw ahead and pointed out so strongly the mistake he was making that he sought Miss Davenport the next day and told her of his mother's stand. The actress suggested that she see the mother; she did, that day, and she came away from the interview a wiser if a sadder woman. Miss Davenport frankly told Bok that with such an instinctive objection as his mother seemed to have, he was right to follow her advice and the contract was not to be thought of.

白话
博克得到去剧团工作的机会，兴奋地拿合同回家给母亲看，没想到母亲坚决反对，认为演戏这行不适合他。博克尊重母亲，第二天告诉女演员达文波特。达文波特亲自去见母亲，交谈后明白母亲的反对出于本能，便告诉博克：既然你母亲如此本能地反对，你听从她是对的，合同不必再考虑。核心是：当至亲凭直觉强烈反对你的重大选择时，别急着对抗，先认真对待那份直觉，它可能看到你忽略的风险。做法是：把家人的反对当作信息而非障碍，请对方与反对者直接沟通，再决定是否放弃。
