奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
The graduate should regard his education as a sacred trust. He should look upon it as a power to be used, not alone for his advancement, or for his own selfish ends, but for the betterment of all mankind. As a matter of fact, things are so arranged in this world that no one can use his divine gift for himself alone and get the best out of it. To try to keep it would be as foolish as for the farmer to hoard his seed corn in a bin instead of giving it to the earth, for fear he would never get it back.

白话
毕业生应把教育视为神圣托付，一种不仅为自己晋升，更为改善全人类而用的力量。事实上，自私地独享天赋无法发挥其最大价值，就像农民因怕失去种子而囤积不种，反而一无所获。核心是：知识越分享越增值。做法是：用所学服务他人，在利他中实现更大价值。

马登在《奋力向前》中呼吁毕业生承担社会责任，将教育用于公益。
