爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
But Bok was really happiest in that part of his work which concerned itself with the writing of advertisements. The science of advertisement writing, which meant to him the capacity to say much in little space, appealed strongly. He found himself more honestly attracted to this than to the writing of his literary letter, his editorials, or his book reviewing, of which he was now doing a good deal. He determined to follow where his bent led; he studied the mechanics of unusual advertisements wherever he saw them; he eagerly sought a knowledge of typography and its best handling in an advertisement, and of the value and relation of illustrations to text. He perceived that his work along these lines seemed to give satisfaction to his employers, since they placed more of it in his hands to do; and he sought in every way to become proficient in the art.

白话
博克真正最快乐的工作是写广告。广告写作对他意味着用很少的字说很多话，这种本事强烈吸引他。相比写文学通讯、社论或书评，他更真心喜欢广告。他决定顺着自己的兴趣走：看到不寻常的广告就研究其门道，主动学习字体排版和插图与文字的关系。他发现这类工作让雇主满意，交给他更多任务，于是想方设法精通这门手艺。核心是：顺着真正让你投入的方向深耕，并用成果赢得更多机会。做法是：识别自己做得最投入的事，刻意练习相关技能，让产出说话。
