奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
For one thing, the country boy is constantly developing his muscular system. His health is better. He gets more exercise, more time to think and to reflect; hence, he is not so superficial as the city boy. His perceptions are not so quick, he is not so rapid in his movements, his thought action is slower and he does not have as much polish, it is true, but he is better balanced generally. He has been forced to do a great variety of work and this has developed corresponding mental qualities.

白话
一方面，乡下男孩一直在练肌肉，身体更好，运动多，也有更多时间思考和反省，所以不像城里孩子那么浮在表面。他反应没那么快，动作没那么利索，想事也慢些，确实也没那么有派头，但整体上更稳当。他被逼着干过各种各样的活，这反过来练出了对应的脑力。这提醒我们：多样化的动手经验能养出均衡的心智。别只盯着一项技能，多换几种活干，慢一点没关系，稳当和后劲更重要。
上下文
马登在这里为乡村青年辩护，认为干杂活、体力活能培养均衡的心智，反驳城里人反应快、有派头的优越感。
今日一问
你最近有没有刻意去干一件不熟悉、需要动手的杂活？
