改变决定人生
人的一生,大部分时间都在工作。对普通人而言,工作是他们最普通的生存状态。人之为人,都应当乐意并有能力去工作。诚实劳动的人认为要生存就必须工作;其实,对于一切生存着的和处于各种社会关系中的人来说,同样如此。当别人辛勤劳动的时候,怎么会有人游手好闲呢?那他怎么能保住自己的社会地位、赢得荣誉并承担责任呢?工作是最好的老师,它迫使每个人和其他人以及现实的社会打交道。如果我们研究名人传记,就会发现:那些最伟大的人都是那些在工作中最勤奋刻苦的人;都是那些在科学研究中孜孜不倦的人;都是那些在自己的工作岗位上顽强拼搏的人。实际上,人类的知识、才干和社会的进步、文明,都源自人的体力和脑力劳动。Lend Me Your Ears

This book provides a wealth of valuable examples of great oratory for writers, speakers, and history aficionados.
