P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 679
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
I was neither disappointed nor cast down by my defeat. The political canvass served the purpose of giving me a new sensation, and introducing me to new phases of human nature,--a subject which I had always great delight in studying. The filth and scandal, the slanders and vindictiveness, the plottings and fawnings, the fidelity, treachery, meanness and manliness, which by turns exhibited themselves in the exciting scenes preceding the election, were novel to me, and were so far interesting. My personal efforts in the canvass were mainly confined to the circulation of documents, and I did not spend a dollar to purchase a vote.

白话
巴纳姆竞选失败后并不沮丧。他把政治竞选当作一次新体验,让他见识了人性百态:丑闻、诽谤、阴谋、谄媚、忠诚、背叛、卑劣与高尚。这些对他来说是新鲜有趣的观察。他主要只散发文件,没有花钱买票。核心是:把失败当作观察和学习的机会,而不是自我否定。做法是:保持旁观心态,从挫折中提取对人性和社会的认识,同时守住底线,不参与贿选。这提醒我们,输赢之外还有更持久的收获。
上下文
巴纳姆在竞选联邦参议员失败后写下这段反思。他此前曾当选州议员,但这次竞选更高职位未果。
