布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 134

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

At the present time one of the most satisfactory features of the Christmas and Thanksgiving season at Tuskegee is the unselfish and beautiful way in which our graduates and students spend their time in administering to the comfort and happiness of others, especially the unfortunate. Not long ago some of our young men spent a holiday in rebuilding a cabin for a helpless coloured women who was about seventy-five years old. At another time I remember that I made it known in chapel, one night, that a very poor student was suffering from cold, because he needed a coat. The next morning two coats were sent to my office for him.

白话

华盛顿最满意的,是塔斯基吉的毕业生和学生过节时不只顾自己,而是用假期去照顾别人,尤其是最不幸的人。他举了两个例子:一群年轻人花假期帮一位七十五岁、无人照料的黑人老妇重建小屋;他在礼拜堂提到一个穷学生缺外套受冻,第二天办公室就收到两件大衣。这些事说明,教育的成果最终体现在人愿不愿意主动帮人、能不能把善意变成行动。节日最好的过法,不是消费和放松,而是把时间和资源用在别人的需要上。

上下文

华盛顿在自传结尾部分描述塔斯基吉学院圣诞和感恩节的新风气,展示教育带来的社区互助精神。

今日一问

下一个假期,你能为身边某个具体需要帮助的人做一件什么实事?
