亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
There is an "if" here, of course. But it is not insurmountable. Affairs are coming to a jam as it is, and if those who possess technical facility do not engage to remedy the case, those who lack that facility may attempt it. Nothing is more foolish than for any class to assume that progress is an attack upon it. Progress is only a call made upon it to lend its experience for the general advancement. It is only those who are unwise who will attempt to obstruct progress and thereby become its victims. All of us are here together, all of us must go forward together; it is perfectly silly for any man or class to take umbrage at the stirring of progress. If financiers feel that progress is only the restlessness of weak-minded persons, if they regard all suggestions of betterment as a personal slap, then they are taking the part which proves more than anything else could their unfitness to continue in their leadership.

白话
这里当然有个“如果”，但并非不可逾越。事情正走向僵局，有技术能力的人若不出手补救，缺技术的人就可能尝试。任何阶层若以为进步是对自己的攻击，那就最愚蠢。进步只是请它贡献经验来推动共同发展。只有不明智的人才会阻挠进步，从而成为牺牲品。大家同处一处，必须共同前进；任何个人或阶层因进步而动怒，都极其可笑。金融家若觉得进步只是弱者瞎折腾，把改进建议当成个人侮辱，那就最能证明他们不配继续领导。
上下文
福特在《我的生活与工作》中警告既得利益者不要阻挠改革，否则会被改革淘汰。
今日一问
当别人提出改进建议时，你第一反应是防御，还是先问有没有道理？
