塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 165
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
These great workers did not feel ashamed of labouring with their hands for a living; but they also felt within themselves the power of doing head-work as well as hand-work. And while thus labouring with their hands, they went on with their inventions, the perfecting of which has proved of so much advantage to the world. Hugh Miller furnished, in his own life, an excellent instance of that practical common sense in the business of life which he so strongly recommended to others. When he began to write poetry, and felt within him the growing powers of a literary man, he diligently continued his labour as a stone-cutter.

白话
这些了不起的人物并不觉得靠双手干活丢人,同时他们心里清楚,自己既能动手也能动脑。一边干着手艺活,一边继续搞发明,而这些发明后来给世界带来了很大好处。休·米勒就是个好例子:他一边写诗、感到自己文学才能见长,一边照样老老实实当石匠。核心是:别把体力活当成低人一等,也别因为有点才华就瞧不起饭碗。手上有活、心里有梦,两样都攥住,路才走得稳。
上下文
斯迈尔斯《节俭》中以休·米勒等为例,说明体力劳动与脑力追求可以并行不悖。

你是否曾因觉得自己“不该干这个”而轻视过手头的工作?
