塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:自助论·摘录 7

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导

Two or three young men of the humblest rank resolved to meet in the winter evenings, for the purpose of improving themselves by exchanging knowledge with each other. Their first meetings were held in the room of a cottage in which one of the members lived; and, as others shortly joined them, the place soon became inconveniently filled. When summer set in, they adjourned to the cottage garden outside; and the classes were then held in the open air, round a little boarded hut used as a garden-house, in which those who officiated as teachers set the sums, and gave forth the lessons of the evening. When the weather was fine, the youths might be seen, until a late hour, hanging round the door of the hut like a cluster of bees; but sometimes a sudden shower of rain would dash the sums from their slates, and disperse them for the evening unsatisfied.

白话

几个出身贫寒的年轻人,约定冬天晚上聚在一起,互相交换知识、共同长进。起初挤在其中一人的小屋里,人一多就坐不下;夏天干脆搬到屋外花园,围着一间小木棚上课,讲课的人在里面出题、布置功课。天气好时,大家像蜜蜂一样围在门口学到很晚;可一阵急雨就能把石板上的算式冲掉,只好散场。这段讲的是:学习条件差并不可怕,关键是有人愿意组织、有人愿意坚持。今天若想自学或组学习小组,不必等设备齐全,先定下固定时间、固定地点,哪怕简陋,也能持续下去。

上下文

这是《自助》中作者回忆自己年轻时参与的自学小组,用来证明自我教育的力量。

今日一问

你身边有没有可以一起固定学习的伙伴?这周能不能先约一次?
