塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:自助论·摘录 224

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导

To conclude: the best culture is not obtained from teachers when at school or college, so much as by our own diligent self-education when we have become men. Hence parents need not be in too great haste to see their children’s talents forced into bloom. Let them watch and wait patiently, letting good example and quiet training do their work, and leave the rest to Providence. Let them see to it that the youth is provided, by free exercise of his bodily powers, with a full stock of physical health; set him fairly on the road of self-culture; carefully train his habits of application and perseverance; and as he grows older, if the right stuff be in him, he will be enabled vigorously and effectively to cultivate himself.

白话

最好的教育不是在学校靠老师教出来的,而是成年后自己勤奋自学得来的。所以父母不必急着让孩子早开花,要耐心观察等待,用好的榜样和安静的训练慢慢影响,剩下的交给时间。先保证孩子身体得到充分锻炼、有健康底子,再把他引上自我培养的路,认真训练他专注和坚持的习惯。等他长大,如果真是那块料,他自然能有力地自我发展。换句话说,别拔苗助长,把根基打好,把习惯养好,比抢跑更重要。
