奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
If we study these two types of personality, we shall find that the chief difference between them is that the first loves his kind, and the latter does not. Of course, that rare charm of manner which captivates all those who come within the sphere of its influence, and that strong personal magnetism which inclines all hearts toward its fortunate possessor, are largely natural gifts. But we shall find that the man who practises unselfishness, who is genuinely interested in the welfare of others, who feels it a privilege to have the power to do a fellow-creature a kindness,--even though polished manners and a gracious presence may be conspicuous by their absence,--will be an elevating influence wherever he goes. He will bring encouragement to and uplift every life that touches his. He will be trusted and loved by all who come in contact with him. This type of personality we may all cultivate if we will.

白话
仔细看这两种人,主要区别在于:第一种人爱自己的同类,第二种人不爱。那种迷人的风度、吸引人的个人魅力,很大程度上是天生的。但我们会发现,一个无私的人、真正关心他人福祉的人、把能帮助别人当作特权的人,即使没有优雅的举止和亲切的仪表,走到哪里都会带来提升的力量。他会鼓励和提升每一个与他接触的人,会被所有接触他的人信任和喜爱。这种人格,只要我们愿意,都可以培养。

马登在对比两种人格后,指出关键区别在于是否爱人,并认为这种提升型人格可以后天培养。
