奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导

"If you will let me try, I think I can make something that will do," said a boy who had been employed as a scullion at the mansion of Signer Faliero, as the story is told by George Cary Eggleston. A large company had been invited to a banquet, and just before the hour the confectioner, who had been making a large ornament for the table, sent word that he had spoiled the piece. "You!" exclaimed the head servant, in astonishment; "and who are you?" "I am Antonio Canova, the grandson of Pisano, the stone-cutter," replied the pale-faced little fellow.

白话

一个在贵族家做厨房杂役的男孩,主动请求尝试修复被弄坏的宴会装饰。别人惊讶地质疑他,他平静地说自己是石匠皮萨诺的孙子。这故事的核心是:机会常伪装成麻烦出现,而敢于站出来承担的人,往往已经默默准备了很久。男孩没有因身份低微而退缩,而是用一句话表明自己的背景和信心。可执行的做法是:平时积累真本事,当团队遇到难题时,不要先说“我不行”,而是说“让我试试”,并简要说明你的准备。
