爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The idea from this talk that impressed Bok, however, with particular force, was that the people who crowded his houses came to see him and not to hear his lecture. Personal curiosity, in other words. This was a new thought. He had been too busy to think of his personality; now he realized a different angle to the situation. And, much to his manager's astonishment, two days afterwards Bok refused to sign an agreement for another tour later in the year. He had had enough of exhibiting himself as a curiosity. He continued his tour; but before its conclusion fell ill--a misfortune with a pleasant side to it, for three of his engagements had to be cancelled.

白话
一次谈话让博克恍然大悟：挤满场子的人其实是来看他这个人，而不是来听他的演讲——纯粹是出于好奇。他之前忙得没空想自己的“人设”，现在意识到情况变了味。于是两天后，他出人意料地拒绝了经理续签下半年巡演合同的要求。他受够了被人当稀奇物件展览。他坚持把剩下的行程走完，但没到结束就病倒了；这场病倒也有好的一面——三场演讲因此取消。
上下文
博克在巡演途中逐渐厌倦被当作名人围观，这段讲他决定不再续约的心理转折。

你做的事，别人是冲着事情本身来的，还是冲着你这个人来的？这会影响你的选择吗？
