爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
"You are," answered Edward Bok. And while it took considerable persuasion, from that time on Mrs. Mallon became Ruth Ashmore, the most ridiculed writer in the magazine world, and yet the most helpful editor that ever conducted a department in periodical literature. For sixteen years she conducted the department, until she passed away, her last act being to dictate a letter to a correspondent. In those sixteen years she had received one hundred and fifty-eight thousand letters: she kept three stenographers busy, and the number of girls who to-day bless the name of Ruth Ashmore is legion.

白话
爱德华·博克说服了马伦夫人,让她以“露丝·阿什莫尔”的笔名主持杂志专栏。这个笔名后来常被同行取笑,但这位编辑却成了杂志界最有帮助的专栏主持。她主持了十六年,直到去世,最后一件事还是口述给读者的回信。十六年里她收到十五万八千封信,雇了三个速记员都忙不过来,今天仍有无数女孩感激这个名字。核心是:真正有价值的编辑工作,不在于名声多响,而在于是否认真对待每一封来信,把帮助读者落到实处。
上下文
出自爱德华·博克的自传《爱德华·博克的美国化》。博克是《妇女家庭杂志》主编,这段讲他如何说服马伦夫人主持女性专栏。
今日一问
你手头的工作里,有没有一件看似琐碎却对他人真正有用的事,值得你像她一样坚持十六年?
