布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
In the midst of my struggles and longing for an education, a young coloured boy who had learned to read in the state of Ohio came to Malden. As soon as the coloured people found out that he could read, a newspaper was secured, and at the close of nearly every day’s work this young man would be surrounded by a group of men and women who were anxious to hear him read the news contained in the papers. How I used to envy this man! He seemed to me to be the one young man in all the world who ought to be satisfied with his attainments.

白话
华盛顿渴望读书时，一个在俄亥俄州学会认字的黑人少年来到马尔登。黑人一听说他会读报，就找来报纸，每天收工后围着他听新闻。华盛顿非常羡慕，觉得这年轻人应是世上最该满足的人。这场景说明：在文盲普遍的环境里，识字不只是个人本事，更是社区稀缺的资源。会读的人能把外面的消息带进来，让一群人共享。今天，如果你有一项别人缺的技能，别只自己用，可以定期帮身边人读一读、讲一讲；反过来，想学什么，就主动靠近那个会的人，听他用起来。
上下文
出自《超越奴役》，背景是南北战争后解放的黑人社区，识字者极少，大家渴望通过读报了解世界。
今日一问
你身上哪项技能可以定期分享给身边需要的人，哪怕只是读一段新闻？
