布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 177
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
As I look back now over that part of our struggle, I am glad to see that we had it. I am glad that we endured all those discomforts and inconveniences. I am glad that our students had to dig out the place for their kitchen and dining room. I am glad that our first boarding-place was in the dismal, ill-lighted, and damp basement. Had we started in a fine, attractive, convenient room, I fear we would have “lost our heads” and become “stuck up.” It means a great deal, I think, to start off on a foundation which one has made for one’s self.

白话
回头看创业时的艰难,我反而庆幸我们经历过这些。学生们自己动手挖地建厨房和餐厅,最初宿舍是阴暗潮湿的地下室,这些不便都是好事。如果一开始就住进漂亮舒适的房间,我们很可能得意忘形、摆起架子。从自己亲手打下的基础起步,意义重大:它让人懂得珍惜,也磨出踏实和谦逊。所以别急着给孩子或团队铺好一切,让他们参与创造,吃点苦,反而能长出真正的底气。
