奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
A historian says that, in measuring Kossuth's influence over the masses, "we must first reckon with the orator's physical bulk, and then carry the measuring line above his atmosphere." If we had discernment fine enough and tests delicate enough, we could not only measure the personal atmosphere of individuals, but could also make more accurate estimates concerning the future possibilities of schoolmates and young friends. We are often misled as to the position they are going to occupy from the fact that we are apt to take account merely of their ability, and do not reckon this personal atmosphere or magnetic power as a part of their success-capital. Yet this individual atmosphere has quite as much to do with one's advancement as brain-power or education. Indeed, we constantly see men of mediocre ability but with fine personal presence, superb manner, and magnetic qualities, being rapidly advanced over the heads of those who are infinitely their superiors in mental endowments.

白话
衡量一个人的影响力，不能只看才华和学历，还要算上他自带的“气场”。这种气场像磁力，能让人愿意靠近、信服。作者提醒：我们常误判同学或年轻朋友的前途，因为只算能力，漏算了气场这份成功资本。现实中，能力平平但举止得体、有魅力的人，常比才学远胜者升得更快。所以，培养气场和读书同样重要：注意仪态、谈吐、待人接物的温度，让自己成为让人舒服、愿意追随的人。
