布克·T·华盛顿：力争上游·摘录 32
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
The time that I was permitted to attend school during the day was short, and my attendance was irregular. It was not long before I had to stop attending day-school altogether, and devote all of my time again to work. I resorted to the night-school again. In fact, the greater part of the education I secured in my boyhood was gathered through the night-school after my day’s work was done. I had difficulty often in securing a satisfactory teacher. Sometimes, after I had secured some one to teach me at night, I would find, much to my disappointment, that the teacher knew but little more than I did. Often I would have to walk several miles at night in order to recite my night-school lessons. There was never a time in my youth, no matter how dark and discouraging the days might be, when one resolve did not continually remain with me, and that was a determination to secure an education at any cost.

白话
华盛顿白天上学的时间很短，而且断断续续，不久就不得不完全停掉日校，重新全天干活。他只好转去夜校。事实上，他童年受的教育大部分是干完一天活后上夜校得来的。找满意的老师很难，有时好不容易找到人教，却发现老师比他强不了多少。他常常夜里走好几英里路去上课、背书。但无论日子多黑暗、多沮丧，他年轻时始终有一个决心没变：不惜一切代价接受教育。核心是：条件再差，只要目标坚定，总能找到学习途径。做法是：把“没时间、没条件”换成“我还能怎么学”。
上下文
华盛顿童年时因家境贫困，只能边做工边上学，夜校是他主要的教育途径。
今日一问
你目前有什么学习目标，可以像他一样“不惜一切代价”去实现？
