奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导

Nature never duplicates men. She breaks the pattern at every birth. The magic combination is never used but once. Frederick the Great was terribly abused because he had a passion for art and music and did not care for military drill. His father hated the fine arts and imprisoned him. He even contemplated killing his son, but his own death placed Frederick on the throne at the age of twenty-eight. This boy, who, because he loved art and music, was thought good for nothing, made Prussia one of the greatest nations of Europe.

白话

大自然从不复制人,每个生命都是独一无二的组合。腓特烈大帝因为热爱艺术和音乐、不喜欢军事操练,遭到父亲严重虐待,被关押,父亲甚至想杀他。但父亲去世后,他二十八岁登基,这个被看作“没出息”的男孩,让普鲁士成为欧洲最强大的国家之一。所以,别用单一标准衡量人。孩子沉迷的东西,可能正是他未来的天赋所在。

上下文

马登讲述腓特烈大帝的成长故事,说明独特天赋常不被当时理解。

今日一问

你身上有没有被别人看作“没用”的爱好,其实可能是你的独特优势?
