布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
At the end of my second year at Hampton, by the help of some money sent me by my mother and brother John, supplemented by a small gift from one of the teachers at Hampton, I was enabled to return to my home in Malden, West Virginia, to spend my vacation. When I reached home I found that the salt-furnaces were not running, and that the coal-mine was not being operated on account of the miners being out on “strike.” This was something which, it seemed, usually occurred whenever the men got two or three months ahead in their savings. During the strike, of course, they spent all that they had saved, and would often return to work in debt at the same wages, or would move to another mine at considerable expense. In either case, my observations convinced me that the miners were worse off at the end of the strike. Before the days of strikes in that section of the country, I knew miners who had considerable money in the bank, but as soon as the professional labour agitators got control, the savings of even the more thrifty ones began disappearing.

白话
华盛顿在汉普顿读完第二年，靠母亲和哥哥约翰寄来的钱，加上一位老师的小礼物，才凑够路费回西弗吉尼亚州马尔登的家过暑假。到家发现盐炉停工、煤矿也停了，因为矿工在罢工。他发现，罢工往往发生在工人攒了两三个月工资之后。罢工期间，积蓄花光，最后要么回原矿上班还欠债，要么花大钱去别的矿，境况反而更差。他亲眼看到，以前有些矿工在银行有不少存款，可自从职业劳工煽动者控制后，连节俭的人积蓄也开始消失。这说明，盲目罢工可能让工人更穷。今天我们可以想：遇到不公时，怎么行动才能真保护自己的利益，而不是被人利用。

你见过哪些“为你好”的行动，最后反而让你受损？该怎么辨别？
