亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
One good way to hinder progress is to fill a man's head with all the learning of the past; it makes him feel that because his head is full, there is nothing more to learn. Merely gathering knowledge may become the most useless work a man can do. What can you do to help and heal the world? That is the educational test. If a man can hold up his own end, he counts for one. If he can help ten or a hundred or a thousand other men hold up their ends, he counts for more. He may be quite rusty on many things that inhabit the realm of print, but he is a learned man just the same. When a man is master of his own sphere, whatever it may be, he has won his degree--he has entered the realm of wisdom.

白话
福特说,用过去的全部学问塞满一个人的脑袋,反而会阻碍进步:他会因为脑袋满了,觉得再没什么可学。单纯收集知识,可能是一个人能做的最无用的事。教育的检验标准是:你能为帮助和治愈世界做什么?能撑起自己,算一份;能帮十人、百人、千人撑起他们,分量更大。他可能在印刷品里的许多事上生疏,但仍是博学之人。一个人掌握了自己的领域,不管那领域是什么,他就赢得了学位,进入了智慧的境界。所以别以知识量论英雄,要看你实际能扛起什么。
上下文
福特在自传中反复强调实践智慧,反对把教育等同于知识堆积。
今日一问
你所在的领域里,你真正能“撑起来”的本事是什么?
