爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
From Kipling's house Bok went to Tunbridge Wells to visit Mary Anderson, the one-time popular American actress, who had married Antonio de Navarro and retired from the stage. A goodly number of editors had tried to induce the retired actress to write, just as a number of managers had tried to induce her to return to the stage. All had failed. But Bok never accepted the failure of others as a final decision for himself; and after two or three visits, he persuaded Madame de Navarro to write her reminiscences, which he published with marked success in the magazine.

白话
博克离开吉卜林家后,去坦布里奇韦尔斯拜访玛丽·安德森。她曾是受欢迎的美国女演员,嫁给安东尼奥·德·纳瓦罗后退出舞台。许多编辑想请她写稿,许多经理也想请她复出,都失败了。但博克从不把别人的失败当作自己的最终结论。拜访两三次后,他说服了德·纳瓦罗夫人写回忆录,在杂志上连载大获成功。关键点:别人做不到,不代表你做不到;耐心和多次接触能打破僵局。
上下文
玛丽·安德森是19世纪末美国著名女演员,退隐后定居英国。博克为杂志约稿亲自登门。
今日一问
你是否有因为别人失败而放弃的尝试?能否再试一次?
