布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
General Armstrong spent two of the last six months of his life in my home at Tuskegee. At that time he was paralyzed to the extent that he had lost control of his body and voice in a very large degree. Notwithstanding his affliction, he worked almost constantly night and day for the cause to which he had given his life. I never saw a man who so completely lost sight of himself. I do not believe he ever had a selfish thought. He was just as happy in trying to assist some other institution in the South as he was when working for Hampton. Although he fought the Southern white man in the Civil War, I never heard him utter a bitter word against him afterward. On the other hand, he was constantly seeking to find ways by which he could be of service to the Southern whites.

白话
阿姆斯特朗将军生命最后六个月中有两个月住在华盛顿家。他当时已瘫痪,身体和声音大半失控,却仍几乎日夜为毕生事业操劳。华盛顿说他从没见过这样完全忘我的人,相信他几乎没有自私念头;他帮南方其他学校和自己为汉普顿工作一样快乐。内战中他与南方白人作战,战后却从未听他说过一句怨恨的话,反而不断找机会为南方白人服务。核心是:真正的奉献不是口号,是放下自我和旧怨,持续做对别人有用的事。怎么做?少问“我得到什么”,多问“我能帮谁”,并把怨恨换成具体服务。
上下文
华盛顿在自传中追忆恩师阿姆斯特朗将军,他是汉普顿学院院长,也是华盛顿一生的榜样。
今日一问
你心里有没有一段旧怨,可以换成一个帮助对方的具体行动?
