布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 192
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
While the work of going from door to door and from office to office is hard, disagreeable, and costly in bodily strength, yet it has some compensations. Such work gives one a rare opportunity to study human nature. It also has its compensations in giving one an opportunity to meet some of the best people in the world—to be more correct, I think I should say the best people in the world. When one takes a broad survey of the country, he will find that the most useful and influential people in it are those who take the deepest interest in institutions that exist for the purpose of making the world better.

白话
布克·华盛顿说,挨家挨户、逐个办公室去募捐,确实辛苦、不愉快、耗体力,但也有补偿。第一,它能让你近距离观察人性。第二,它能让你遇到世界上最好的人。他说的“最好的人”,是指那些对改善世界的机构最有兴趣、最愿意出力的人。所以,辛苦的跑腿工作不只是付出,也是学习和结交良师益友的机会。做法是:把辛苦的差事看成研究人和结识同道的机会,而不只是负担。
上下文
