布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 171
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
We had nothing but the students and their appetites with which to begin a boarding department. No provision had been made in the new building for a kitchen and dining room; but we discovered that by digging out a large amount of earth from under the building we could make a partially lighted basement room that could be used for a kitchen and dining room. Again I called on the students to volunteer for work, this time to assist in digging out the basement. This they did, and in a few weeks we had a place to cook and eat in, although it was very rough and uncomfortable. Any one seeing the place now would never believe that it was once used for a dining room.

白话
华盛顿和学生们一开始连厨房和食堂都没有,新楼里根本没设计这些。他们发现可以从楼底下挖出大量泥土,弄出一个半地下室来当厨房和餐厅。于是他又号召学生自愿来挖土,几周后就有了做饭吃饭的地方,虽然很粗糙不舒服。现在的人看到那个地方,绝不会相信它曾做过餐厅。核心是:资源不够时,别等条件齐全,动手改造现有空间,靠集体劳动解决基本需求。做法是发现可行方案就组织人干,不追求完美,先有再用。

布克·T·华盛顿在《超越奴役》中回忆创办塔斯基吉学院初期,物资极度匮乏,靠师生劳动建校。
今日一问
你手头有没有一个“挖个地下室就能用”的临时方案,却因为追求完美而迟迟没动手?
