奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
The college man _ought_ to be a superb figure anywhere. The consciousness of being well educated should put one at ease in any society. The knowledge that one's mentality has been broadened out by college training, that one has discovered his possibilities, not only adds wonderfully to one's happiness, but also increases one's self-confidence immeasurably, and _self-confidence is the lever that moves the world_. On every hand we see men of good ability who feel crippled all their lives and are often mortified, by having to confess, by the poverty of their language, their sordid ideals, their narrow outlook on life, that they are not educated. The superbly trained man can go through the world with his head up and feel conscious that he is not likely to play the ignoramus in any company, or be mortified or pained by ignorance of matters which every well-informed person is supposed to know. This assurance of knowledge multiplies self-confidence and gives infinite satisfaction.

白话
受过良好教育的人本应处处从容。知道自己视野被打开、潜力被发掘,会带来巨大幸福和自信,而自信是推动世界的杠杆。相反,能力不错却因语言贫乏、理想狭隘而自卑的人,往往因未受教育而痛苦。做法是:把教育视为拓展自我、建立自信的途径,而不仅是求职敲门砖。
