亨利·福特:我的生活与工作·补录 357

亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导

More men are beaten than fail. It is not wisdom they need or money, or brilliance, or "pull," but just plain gristle and bone. This rude, simple, primitive power which we call "stick-to-it-iveness" is the uncrowned king of the world of endeavour. People are utterly wrong in their slant upon things. They see the successes that men have made and somehow they appear to be easy. But that is a world away from the facts. It is failure that is easy. Success is always hard. A man can fail in ease; he can succeed only by paying out all that he has and is. It is this which makes success so pitiable a thing if it be in lines that are not useful and uplifting.

白话

更多人是被打败,而不是真正失败。他们缺的不是智慧、金钱、才华或人脉,而是 plain 的骨气和韧劲。这种粗粝、简单、原始的“坚持到底”的力量,是努力世界的无冕之王。人们看别人的成功,总觉得容易,其实大错特错。失败才容易,成功永远艰难。人可以轻松地失败,但只有付出全部所有和所能,才可能成功。所以,如果成功用在无益、不提升人的方向上,那成功本身就很可悲。

上下文

福特在《我的生活与工作》中反复强调坚持与实干,反对投机取巧和轻易放弃。

今日一问

你正在做的事,值得你付出“全部所有和所能”吗?如果不值得,是否该调整方向?
