布克·T·华盛顿：力争上游·摘录 200
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
More than once I have found myself in some pretty tight places while collecting money in the North. The following incident I have never related but once before, for the reason that I feared that people would not believe it. One morning I found myself in Providence, Rhode Island, without a cent of money with which to buy breakfast. In crossing the street to see a lady from whom I hoped to get some money, I found a bright new twenty-five-cent piece in the middle of the street track. I not only had this twenty-five cents for my breakfast, but within a few minutes I had a donation from the lady on whom I had started to call.

白话
华盛顿在北方筹款时多次陷入窘境。有一次在普罗维登斯，他身无分文，连早餐都买不起。过马路去找一位女士募捐时，竟在路轨中间捡到一枚崭新的25美分硬币。他用这钱吃了早餐，几分钟后又从那位女士那里拿到捐款。他很少讲这件事，怕人不信。核心不是宣扬奇迹，而是说明：在极度困窘时，一点小运气也能让人撑下去；但前提是你仍在行动，仍在去拜访捐赠者的路上。
上下文
华盛顿为塔斯基吉学院四处筹款，常自掏腰包差旅，有时囊中羞涩。此事发生在罗德岛普罗维登斯。
