P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
I now engaged the “Egyptian Hall,” in Piccadilly, and the announcement of my unique exhibition was promptly answered by a rush of visitors, in which the wealth and fashion of London were liberally represented. I made these arrangements because I had little hope of being soon brought to the Queen’s presence, (for the reason before mentioned,) but Mr. Everett’s generous influence secured my object. I breakfasted at his house one morning, by invitation, in company with Mr. Charles Murray, an author of creditable repute, who held the office of Master of the Queen’s Household. In the course of conversation, Mr. Murray inquired as to my plans, and I informed him that I intended going to the Continent shortly, though I should be glad to remain if the General could have an interview with the Queen--adding that such an event would be of great consequence to me.

白话
巴纳姆租下伦敦皮卡迪利的埃及厅办展览,消息一出,伦敦的富人和时尚人士蜂拥而至。他这么做是因为觉得短期内见不到女王,但朋友埃弗雷特先生的影响力帮他实现了目标。一天早上,他受邀到埃弗雷特家吃早餐,同席的还有作家兼女王内务总管查尔斯·默里。聊天时默里问起他的计划,巴纳姆说打算去欧洲大陆,但若能安排将军(指他的展品“汤姆拇指将军”)觐见女王,他愿意留下,因为那对他的生意意义重大。核心是:主动结交关键人物、清晰表达自己的需求,往往比被动等待更有效。
