奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
Some boys will pick up a good education in the odds and ends of time which others carelessly throw away, as one man saves a fortune by small economies which others disdain to practise. What young man is too busy to get an hour a day for self-improvement? Charles C. Frost, the celebrated shoemaker of Vermont, resolved to devote one hour a day to study. He became one of the most noted mathematicians in the United States, and also gained an enviable reputation in other departments of knowledge. John Hunter, like Napoleon, allowed himself but four hours of sleep. It took Professor Owen ten years to arrange and classify the specimens in Comparative Anatomy, over twenty-four thousand in number, which Hunter's industry had collected. What a record for a boy who began his studies while working as a carpenter!

白话
有些男孩能在别人随手扔掉的零碎时间里捡到好教育,就像有人靠小节省攒出大财富。再忙的年轻人,每天挤一小时自我提升总做得到。佛蒙特州有名的鞋匠查尔斯·弗罗斯特决心每天学一小时,后来成了美国著名数学家,在其他领域也很有声望。猎人约翰·亨特像拿破仑一样只睡四小时,他收集的两万四千多件比较解剖学标本,欧文教授花了十年才整理分类完。一个木匠学徒起步的人,能有这样的成就,靠的就是每天那一点坚持。
上下文
马登用鞋匠和木匠学徒的真实例子,证明零碎时间加坚持能带来惊人成就。
今日一问
你能否从今天起,每天固定留出一小时,专注做一件长期有益的事?
