布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 10

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

To work out the plan on paper, or at a distance—that is one thing. For a white man to work it out—that too, is an easy thing. For a coloured man to work it out in the South, where, in its constructive period, he was necessarily misunderstood by his own people as well as by the whites, and where he had to adjust it at every step to the strained race relations—that is so very different and more difficult a thing that the man who did it put the country under lasting obligations to him.

白话

在纸上或远处规划这个方案是一回事;由白人来操办也容易;但由一位有色人种在南方实地推行,就完全不同、也困难得多。在建设阶段,他必然既被自己人误解,也被白人误解,每一步都得根据紧张的种族关系做调整。正因如此,做成这件事的人让整个国家永远欠他一份情。

上下文

华盛顿在自传中回顾塔斯基吉学院创办过程,强调在南方种族隔离与偏见环境下办学的特殊难度。

今日一问

当你推动一项改变时,是否低估了“在地执行”与“纸上规划”之间的巨大差距?
