奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
Dinner was announced, and many of the most noted merchants, princes, and noblemen of Venice were ushered into the dining-room. Among them were skilled critics of art work. When their eyes fell upon the butter lion, they forgot the purpose for which they had come in their wonder at such a work of genius. They looked at the lion long and carefully, and asked Signer Faliero what great sculptor had been persuaded to waste his skill upon such a temporary material. Faliero could not tell; so he asked the head servant, who brought Antonio before the company.

白话
宴会开始，威尼斯的名流和艺术行家看到黄油雕成的狮子，惊叹不已，忘了来赴宴的目的。他们追问主人是哪位大师所作，主人不知道，叫来管家，才把男孩安东尼奥带到众人面前。这说明：真正的才华即使出现在最不起眼的地方，也会被识货的人发现。关键不是自我吹嘘，而是作品本身会说话。做法是：把精力放在打磨作品上，让成果替你发声；同时，当别人问起时，要能清晰说明自己的贡献，不埋没自己。
