布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
In all our difficulties and anxieties, however, I never went to a white or a black person in the town of Tuskegee for any assistance that was in their power to render, without being helped according to their means. More than a dozen times, when bills figuring up into the hundreds of dollars were falling due, I applied to the white men of Tuskegee for small loans, often borrowing small amounts from as many as a half-dozen persons, to meet our obligations. One thing I was determined to do from the first, and that was to keep the credit of the school high; and this, I think I can say without boasting, we have done all through these years.

白话
遇到各种困难和焦虑时，只要事情在塔斯基吉镇黑白居民能力范围内，华盛顿去求助从没落空过。有十几次，几百美元的账单到期，他就向镇上的白人小额借款，常常同时向五六个人各借一点来周转。他从一开始就定下一条：必须保住学校的高信用。办法很实在——不赖账、按时还、把借款拆小分散风险，让每个帮忙的人都知道自己的钱有保障。信用保住了，下次开口才有人应。
上下文
塔斯基吉学校早期经常资金周转不灵，华盛顿靠向本地白人小额借贷维持学校信用。
今日一问
你遇到周转困难时，是硬撑到失信，还是肯拆小、分散地开口求助并按时还？
