爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The wide public acceptance of the periodical which he edited naturally brought a share of financial success to him. He had experienced poverty, and as he subsequently wrote, in an article called "Why I Believe in Poverty," he was deeply grateful for his experience. He had known what it was to be poor; he had seen others dear to him suffer for the bare necessities; there was, in fact, not a single step on that hard road that he had not travelled. He could, therefore, sympathize with the fullest understanding with those similarly situated, could help as one who knew from practice and not from theory. He realized what a marvellous blessing poverty can be; but as a condition to experience, to derive from it poignant lessons, and then to get out of; not as a condition to stay in.

白话
博克编辑的杂志广受欢迎，也带来财务成功。他经历过贫穷，后来在《我为何相信贫穷》一文中说，他深深感激那段经历。他尝过穷的滋味，见过亲人缺衣少食，那条艰难的路他每一步都走过。因此他能真正理解处境相似的人，能凭经验而非理论去帮助。他认为贫穷可以是奇妙的祝福，但只应作为一段经历，从中汲取深刻教训，然后走出来，而不是一直留在其中。核心是：把贫困当老师，而不是归宿。
上下文
博克在自传中回顾早年贫困经历，并引用自己后来写的文章。
