P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 303
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Jenny Lind’s character for benevolence became so generally known, that her door was beset by persons asking charity, and she was in the receipt, while in the principal cities, of numerous letters, all on the same subject. Her secretary examined and responded favorably to some of them. He undertook at first to answer them all, but finally abandoned that course in despair. I knew of many instances in which she gave sums of money to applicants, varying in amount from $20, $50, $500, to $1,000, and in one instance she gave $5,000 to a Swedish friend.

白话
珍妮·林德乐善好施的名声传开后,登门求助的人络绎不绝,她在各大城市都会收到大量求助信。秘书起初每封都回,后来实在应付不了只好放弃。巴纳姆亲眼见过她给求助者20到1000美元不等,有一次甚至给了瑞典朋友5000美元。这说明名声会招来大量求助,但个人精力有限,不可能有求必应。可行的做法是:设定捐助原则和额度,委托专人筛选处理,既保持善意又不被拖垮。
