亨利·福特《我的生活与工作》· My Life and Work · 领导
And there cannot be much picking and choosing. The appointed task may be less than was expected. A man's real work is not always what he would have chosen to do. A man's real work is what he is chosen to do. Just now there are more menial jobs than there will be in the future; and as long as there are menial jobs, someone will have to do them; but there is no reason why a man should be penalized because his job is menial. There is one thing that can be said about menial jobs that cannot be said about a great many so-called more responsible jobs, and that is, they are useful and they are respectable and they are honest.

白话
一个人真正的工作往往不是他自己挑的,而是被安排去做的事。被分配的任务可能比预期的差,但不必因此觉得丢脸。眼下粗活、杂活还很多,总得有人干;干这些活的人不该被看低。粗活有一个优点:它们有用、体面、诚实,很多所谓更重要的职位反而做不到这一点。所以,别把岗位高低当成对人的评价,把手头的活干好、干得诚实,就是有价值的。
