布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
At one time it looked as if I would have to give up the idea of returning to Hampton, but my heart was so set on returning that I determined not to give up going back without a struggle. I was very anxious to secure some clothes for the winter, but in this I was disappointed, except for a few garments which my brother John secured for me. Notwithstanding my need of money and clothing, I was very happy in the fact that I had secured enough money to pay my travelling expenses back to Hampton. Once there, I knew that I could make myself so useful as a janitor that I could in some way get through the school year.

白话
有一阵子眼看回不成汉普顿了，但我太想回去，决心不挣扎一番绝不放弃。我急需冬衣，结果只靠哥哥约翰弄到几件，还是失望。可即便缺钱少衣，我仍很高兴攒够了回汉普顿的路费。因为我知道，一到学校，只要把勤杂工的活干得足够有用，总能想办法撑过学年。这里的取舍是：先保证能回到能成长的环境，再靠自己的用处换生存资源，而不是等一切齐备才出发。
上下文
华盛顿在假期末尾凑路费、缺冬衣，仍决定返回汉普顿，并打算靠做校工维持学业。
今日一问
如果条件不齐备，你愿意先回到能成长的环境，再靠做事换资源吗？
