布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
As soon as the plans were drawn for the new building, the students began digging out the earth where the foundations were to be laid, working after the regular classes were over. They had not fully outgrown the idea that it was hardly the proper thing for them to use their hands, since they had come there, as one of them expressed it, “to be educated, and not to work.” Gradually, though, I noted with satisfaction that a sentiment in favour of work was gaining ground. After a few weeks of hard work the foundations were ready, and a day was appointed for the laying of the corner-stone.

白话
新楼图纸一画好，学生就利用课后时间去挖地基的土。他们起初还摆脱不了一个观念：自己来是“受教育的，不是来干活的”，觉得动手不太体面。但几周苦干之后，地基挖好了，赞成劳动的风气也慢慢占了上风，于是定日子安放奠基石。华盛顿没有硬压，而是让大家在干活中自己转变看法——先做起来，观念跟着行动走，比先讲道理更管用。

塔斯基吉师范学校建校初期，学生多为刚脱离奴隶身份的黑人，对体力劳动仍有偏见。
今日一问
你有没有因为觉得“这事不该我干”而迟迟不动手，其实先做起来看法就会变？
