多大年齡就不再看勵誌書？

成熟早一點的，感覺大學本科畢業後就不用再看了；成熟晚一點的，研究生畢業後就可以收手了；再晚一點的，正式工作後就不必再看了。年齡大了自己事業和習慣也定型了，看多了無用，而且不同的勵誌書也都差不多。

Elbert Hubbard（艾爾伯特﹒哈伯德）《A message to Garcia》（把信送給加西亞）是一本影響極大的勵誌書，在中國有多個譯本。其中有些話確實對年輕人有用：

 

No matter how good times are, this sorting continues, only if times are hard and work is scarce, the sorting is done finer- but out and forever out, the incompetent and unworthy go.

 

Excellence is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than other think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical and expecting more than others think is possible.

 

Don’t ever let it be said that someone else expected more of you than you expected of youself. If anyone finds fauld in a job which you have done that is less than excellent, don’t make exceses. Admit that it was not your best. Don’t stand up and try to defend yourself.

 

A little more persistence, a little more effort, and what seemed hopeless failure may turn to glorious success. There is no failure except in no longer trying. There is no defeat except from within, no really insurmountable barrier save our inherent weaknes of purpose.

 

This bad habit of fault – finding, criticizing and complaining, is a tool that grows keener by constant use, and there is grave danger that he who at first is only a moderate kicker may develop into a chronic knocker, and the knife he has sharpened will sever his head.
