奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
Albert J. Beveridge, the junior United States Senator from Indiana, entered college with no other capital than fifty dollars loaned to him by a friend. He served as steward of a college club, and added to his original fund of fifty dollars by taking the freshman essay prize of twenty-five dollars. When summer came, he returned to work in the harvest fields and broke the wheat-cutting records of the county. He carried his books with him morning, noon and night, and studied persistently. When he returned to college he began to be recognized as an exceptional man. He had shaped his course and worked to it.

白话
贝弗里奇进大学时,全部本钱只有朋友借他的五十美元。他当学院俱乐部的管家挣点钱,又拿新生作文奖二十五美元添上。夏天回家割麦子,破了县里的割麦纪录。他早中晚都带着书,一有空就啃。再回学校时,大家已经看出他不是一般人。他早就想清楚自己要什么,然后照着这个方向死磕。这里的关键不是苦,而是“先定方向,再让每份力气都往那个方向使”,打工、读书、比赛都不白费。
