塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:自助论·摘录 167
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导
Not less remarkable was the rise to the same distinguished office of Lord Chief Justice, of the rugged Kenyon and the robust Ellenborough; nor was he a less notable man who recently held the same office—the astute Lord Campbell, late Lord Chancellor of England, son of a parish minister in Fifeshire. For many years he worked hard as a reporter for the press, while diligently preparing himself for the practice of his profession. It is said of him, that at the beginning of his career, he was accustomed to walk from county town to county town when on circuit, being as yet too poor to afford the luxury of posting. But step by step he rose slowly but surely to that eminence and distinction which ever follow a career of industry honourably and energetically pursued, in the legal, as in every other profession.

白话
核心是:肯扬、埃伦伯勒和坎贝尔这几位英国首席大法官,同样出身平凡,靠勤奋一步步升到司法最高位。 rugged 的肯扬和强健的埃伦伯勒升任首席大法官已够引人注目;最近担任此职的坎贝尔勋爵也一样出名,他精明干练,后来任英国大法官,是法夫郡一位教区牧师的儿子。他多年为报馆辛苦做报道,同时勤奋准备法律业务。据说刚入行时,他巡回审案常从一个郡城步行到另一个郡城,因为太穷坐不起驿车。但他一步步缓慢而稳当地升到高位;这种卓越和声望,总是跟随在法律界及其他一切行业中诚实而 energetic 的勤奋之后。这说明起点低不是障碍,边工作边准备、肯下笨功夫,才是可复制的路径。
