布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
The address which I delivered on Commencement Day seems to have pleased every one, and many kind and encouraging words were spoken to me regarding it. Soon after my return to my home in West Virginia, where I had planned to continue teaching, I was again surprised to receive a letter from General Armstrong, asking me to return to Hampton partly as a teacher and partly to pursue some supplementary studies. This was in the summer of 1879. Soon after I began my first teaching in West Virginia I had picked out four of the brightest and most promising of my pupils, in addition to my two brothers, to whom I have already referred, and had given them special attention, with the view of having them go to Hampton. They had gone there, and in each case the teachers had found them so well prepared that they entered advanced classes. This fact, it seems, led to my being called back to Hampton as a teacher. One of the young men that I sent to Hampton in this way is now Dr. Samuel E. Courtney, a successful physician in Boston, and a member of the School Board of that city.

白话
华盛顿在毕业典礼上的演讲似乎人人满意,收获许多鼓励。他回到西弗吉尼亚老家准备继续教书,却意外收到阿姆斯特朗将军来信,请他回汉普顿半教半读,补修一些课程,时值1879年夏。此前他在西弗吉尼亚初执教鞭时,除了两个弟弟,还挑出四个最聪明有前途的学生特别培养,送他们去汉普顿。这些学生因准备充分直接进入高年级,这件事大概促使他被召回任教。其中一人后来成为波士顿成功医生和学区委员。这说明:认真培养几个人,成果会替你说话,机会随之而来。

《超越奴役》中,华盛顿回忆因自己培养的学生表现优异,被母校汉普顿学院召回任教的经历。
今日一问
你能否先用心带出几个能证明你方法有效的人,让成果替你争取机会?
