P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 604
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
In 1862 I heard of an extraordinary dwarf girl, named Lavinia Warren, who was residing with her parents at Middleboro’, Massachusetts, and I sent an invitation to her and her parents to come and visit me at Bridgeport. They came, and I found her to be a most intelligent and refined young lady, well educated, and an accomplished, beautiful and perfectly-developed woman in miniature. I succeeded in making an engagement with her for several years, during which she contracted--as dwarfs are said to have the power to do--to visit Great Britain, France, and other foreign lands.

白话
巴纳姆听说有个叫拉维尼亚·沃伦的矮小女孩，就邀请她和父母来见面。他发现她聪明、有教养、举止优雅，是个完美的迷你版女性。他成功签下多年合约，后来她还去了英国、法国等地演出。这说明：发现特殊人才时，要亲自接触、评估其综合素质，而不仅仅是看外表噱头。签下长期合约，既保障双方利益，也为后续规划留出空间。对特殊人才，尊重和培养比单纯利用更重要。
