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

Young Linnaeus was called by his teachers almost a blockhead. Not finding him fit for the church, his parents sent him to college to study medicine. But the silent teacher within, greater and wiser than all others, led him to the fields; and neither sickness, misfortune, nor poverty could drive him from the study of botany, the choice of his heart, and he became the greatest botanist of his age.

白话

林奈被老师看作近乎愚笨,家里觉得他当不了牧师,就送他去学医。可他心里有个更聪明的“老师”,把他引向田野。无论生病、倒霉还是贫穷,都没能让他离开植物学,最后他成了那个时代最伟大的植物学家。核心不是“差生逆袭”的爽文,而是:当外部评价和你的内在兴趣冲突时,要敢于跟着真正让你着迷的东西走。做法是给自己留出接触不同领域的机会,观察哪些事让你忘记时间,然后持续投入,哪怕一开始不被看好。

上下文

马登在书中举林奈为例,说明内在兴趣比外部评价更能指引人生方向。

今日一问

有没有一件事,你一做就忘记时间,却一直没被认真对待?
