塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:自助论·摘录 24

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导

Biographies of great, but especially of good men, are nevertheless most instructive and useful, as helps, guides, and incentives to others. Some of the best are almost equivalent to gospels—teaching high living, high thinking, and energetic action for their own and the world’s good. The valuable examples which they furnish of the power of self-help, of patient purpose, resolute working, and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formation of truly noble and manly character, exhibit in language not to be misunderstood, what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself; and eloquently illustrate the efficacy of self-respect and self-reliance in enabling men of even the humblest rank to work out for themselves an honourable competency and a solid reputation.

白话

伟大人物尤其是好人的传记,对他人最有教益和用处,能当帮助、指引和激励。有些最好的传记几乎等于福音书,教人高尚生活、高尚思想、为自身和世界利益积极行动。它们提供宝贵例子,展示自助的力量、耐心的目标、坚定的工作和正直,最终形成真正高尚和有男子气概的品格,用明白无误的语言说明每个人自己能成就什么,并有力证明自尊和自立能让最卑微的人为自己挣得体面的能力和稳固的声誉。
