奥里森·斯威特·马登：向前进·摘录 6
奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
The book tells how men and women have seized common occasions and made them great; it tells of those of average ability who have succeeded by the use of ordinary means, by dint of indomitable will and inflexible purpose. It tells how poverty and hardship have rocked the cradle of the giants of the race. The book points out that most people do not utilize a large part of their effort because their mental attitude does not correspond with their endeavor, so that although working for one thing, they are really expecting something else; and it is what we expect that we tend to get.

白话
这本书强调：成功者善于把平凡的机会变成不平凡的事。他们资质普通，但靠不屈的意志和坚定的目标取胜。贫穷和困苦反而常常是伟人的摇篮。书中还指出一个关键问题：很多人努力了却没结果，是因为心态和行动不一致——嘴上说想要A，心里却预期B，而人往往得到自己真正预期的东西。所以，调整预期，让心态和行动对齐，才能让努力见效。

马登在书中引用大量案例，说明心态与预期对成功的影响，这是其励志哲学的核心观点之一。
