塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:自助论·摘录 185

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导

Attention, application, accuracy, method, punctuality, and despatch, are the principal qualities required for the efficient conduct of business of any sort. These, at first sight, may appear to be small matters; and yet they are of essential importance to human happiness, well-being, and usefulness. They are little things, it is true; but human life is made up of comparative trifles. It is the repetition of little acts which constitute not only the sum of human character, but which determine the character of nations. And where men or nations have broken down, it will almost invariably be found that neglect of little things was the rock on which they split. Every human being has duties to be performed, and, therefore, has need of cultivating the capacity for doing them; whether the sphere of action be the management of a household, the conduct of a trade or profession, or the government of a nation.

白话

专注、勤勉、准确、有条理、守时和迅速,是高效处理任何事务的主要品质。这些乍看是小事,却对人生幸福、安康和有用性至关重要。它们确实是小事,但人生就是由相对琐碎的事组成的。正是小动作的重复,不仅构成个人品格的总和,也决定民族的品格。凡是个人或民族垮掉的地方,几乎总能发现,忽视小事就是他们触礁的岩石。每个人都有要履行的职责,因此需要培养履行职责的能力,无论舞台是管理家庭、经营行业还是治理国家。
