亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
There are many kinds of knowledge, and it depends on what crowd you happen to be in, or how the fashions of the day happen to run, which kind of knowledge, is most respected at the moment. There are fashions in knowledge, just as there are in everything else. When some of us were lads, knowledge used to be limited to the Bible. There were certain men in the neighbourhood who knew the Book thoroughly, and they were looked up to and respected. Biblical knowledge was highly valued then. But nowadays it is doubtful whether deep acquaintance with the Bible would be sufficient to win a man a name for learning.

白话
知识也有流行风潮,哪种知识受尊重,取决于你身处什么圈子、当下时兴什么。福特回忆,他年轻时,邻里间懂《圣经》的人最受敬重;可如今,光靠精通《圣经》恐怕很难赢得“有学问”的名声。他想说的是:别把社会当下追捧的知识当成唯一标准,更别为了迎合风气去学。真正该问的是:这种知识对我手头的事有没有用?我能不能用它解决实际问题?与其追逐时髦学问,不如守住自己领域里真正需要的那部分,学得深、用得上。

你最近花时间学的知识,是出于实际需要,还是因为别人都说它重要?
