布克·T·华盛顿：力争上游·摘录 63
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
My mother and the other members of my family were, of course, much rejoiced to see me and to note the improvement that I had made during my two years’ absence. The rejoicing on the part of all classes of the coloured people, and especially the older ones, over my return, was almost pathetic. I had to pay a visit to each family and take a meal with each, and at each place tell the story of my experiences at Hampton. In addition to this I had to speak before the church and Sunday-school, and at various other places. The thing that I was most in search of, though, work, I could not find. There was no work on account of the strike. I spent nearly the whole of the first month of my vacation in an effort to find something to do by which I could earn money to pay my way back to Hampton and save a little money to use after reaching there.

白话
回家后家人和族人都很高兴，尤其长辈几乎带着心酸地欢迎我，我挨家吃饭、讲在汉普顿的见闻，还要在教堂和主日学校演讲。但我最想找的工作却找不到，因为罢工，整个假期第一个月几乎都花在找活干上，好挣回路费和一点积蓄。这说明光有热情和名声不够，得先解决生计；做法是放下被围观的荣耀，把时间优先投在能换钱的具体工作上，哪怕四处碰壁也要坚持找。

布克·T·华盛顿在《超越奴役》中回忆从汉普顿学院返乡度假，当时他急需挣回校的路费。
今日一问
当面子上的热闹和实际生计冲突时，你会先放下哪一样？
