奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
The world has been very kind to many who were once known as dunces or blockheads, after they have become very successful; but it was very cross to them while they were struggling through discouragement and misinterpretation. Give every boy and girl a fair chance and reasonable encouragement, and do not condemn them because of even a large degree of downright stupidity; for many so-called good-for-nothing boys, blockheads, numskulls, dullards, or dunces, were only boys out of their places, round boys forced into square holes.

白话
许多当年被叫作笨蛋、木头的人,一旦成功,世界就对他们格外客气;可他们在挣扎、被误解、灰心丧气的那些年里,世界对他们却很不友善。所以,请给每个男孩女孩公平的机会和合理的鼓励,别因为他们显得相当愚笨就下判决。很多所谓没出息的、榆木脑袋的、不开窍的、迟钝的、笨蛋的孩子,其实只是放错了地方——是圆形的孩子被硬塞进了方形的洞。换个位置,他们可能就对了。
上下文
马登批评当时教育和社会过早给“笨孩子”贴标签,指出问题常在位置不对而非人不行。
今日一问
你身边有没有被贴上“不行”标签的人?有没有可能只是他待错了地方?
