布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 60

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

Perhaps the most valuable thing that I got out of my second year was an understanding of the use and value of the Bible. Miss Nathalie Lord, one of the teachers, from Portland, Me., taught me how to use and love the Bible. Before this I had never cared a great deal about it, but now I learned to love to read the Bible, not only for the spiritual help which it gives, but on account of it as literature. The lessons taught me in this respect took such a hold upon me that at the present time, when I am at home, no matter how busy I am, I always make it a rule to read a chapter or a portion of a chapter in the morning, before beginning the work of the day.

白话

华盛顿说,第二年最大的收获之一,是懂得了《圣经》的用处和价值。一位叫娜塔莉·洛德的女老师教会他使用并爱上《圣经》。以前他不太在意,后来不仅为灵性帮助而读,也把它当文学来欣赏。这些课对他影响很深,以至于后来在家时,无论多忙,他每天早上都雷打不动读一章或一段,然后才开始一天的工作。这说明,一个好老师能点燃终身习惯。今天我们可以学的是:找到一本值得反复读的经典,每天固定花一点时间读,不为功利,只为滋养。

上下文

华盛顿在自传中回忆汉普顿学院第二位影响他的老师,以及他养成的晨读习惯。

今日一问

你每天早上有没有一段固定时间,用来读点滋养自己的东西?
