The Power of a Note 便笺的力量
[1] On my first job as sports editor for intrigued by a letter
the Montpelier(Ohio)Leader Enterprise, 我当体育编辑，最早是为蒙彼利埃（俄亥俄州）I didn't get a lot of fan mail, so I was intrigued by a letter that was dropped on my desk one morning.[2] When I opened it, I read: “A nice piece of writing on the Tigers.Keep up Don Wolfe’s inspiring comment made the good work.” It was signed by Don

我看到了下面的话：“关于老虎队的述Wolfe, the sports editor.Because I was a 打开来信，沃teenager(being paid the grand total of 评很不错，再接再厉。” 签名的是体育编辑堂·15 cents a column inch), his words couldn't have been more inspiring, I got rag-eared.Whenever Idoubted I had the right stuff to be a writer, I would reread Don's note and feel confident again.[3] Later, when I got to know him, I
Don wrote encouraging word to 尔夫。当时我只有十几岁（为每一竖栏写一英寸文字，稿酬总计达15美分），因此他的话最鼓后来它的边角都卷起来了。每当我怀疑自己不是当作家的料时，重温一下堂的便笺，就又会树起信心来。的《企业导报》工作，当时我很少收到体育迷的来信。因此，一天早晨放在我桌上的一封来信把我吸引住了。

a quick, encouraging word, to people 后来，我逐渐对堂有所了解，知道给各行各业的in all walks of life.“When I make others 人写快捷而鼓舞人心的便笺是他养成的习惯。他feel good about themselves,” he told me, “I feel good too.”
告诉我说：“当我使别人充满信心时，自己也感觉好极了。”
[4] Not surprisingly, he had a body of Don had a body of friends as a result of friends as big as nearby Lake Erie.When(paragraph 3)he died last year at 75, the paper was 因此毫不奇怪，他的朋友圈子就像附近的伊利湖flooded with calls and letters from people who had been recipients of his spirit-liftingwords.[5] Over the years, I've tried to copy the example of Don and other friends who care enough to write uplifting comments, because I think they are on to something important.In a world too often cold andunresponsive, such notes bring warmth and reaurance.We all need a boost from time to time, and a few lines of praise have been known to turn
那么大。去年他去世了，享年75岁。电话与悼函像潮水般涌向报社，都来自于曾经得到过他激励（文字）的人们。
I copied the example;importance of uplifting comments
多年来，我努力效仿堂以及我的其他朋友，他们关心别人，常写一些鼓舞人心的话语，因为我觉得，他们这样做是很有意义的。在这样一个惯于冷漠、无动于衷的世界上，这种便笺给人们带来了温暖和安慰。我们都时不时地需要鼓励，大家知道几行赞扬的话会改变一个人的一天，甚至一生。around a day, even a life.[6] Why, then, are there so few upbeat note writers? My gue is that many who shy away from the practice are too self-conscious.They're afraid they'll be misunderstood, sound sentimental or insincere.Also,Why so few upbeat note writers? reasons
那么，这些激励人心的便笺的作者为什么寥若晨星呢？我猜想很多人回避写，是因为他们太看重人们的看法。他们担心会被误解，怕别人觉得他

远不如打电话方便。
up the phone.[7] The drawback with phone calls, of course, is that they don't last.A note attaches, more importance to our well-wishing.It is a matter of record, and our words can be read more than once, savored andtreasured.[8] Even though note writing may take longer, some pretty busy people do it, including George Bush.Some say he owes, much of his succe in politics to his ever-ready pen.How? Throughout his career he has followed up virtually every contact with a cordial response—acompliment, a line of praise or a nod of thanks.His notes go not only to friends and aociates, but to casual acquaintances and totalstrangers—like the surprised person who got a warm pat on the backfor lending Bush an umbrella.[9] Even top corporate managers, who have mostly affected styles of leadership that can be characterized only as tough, cold and aloof, have begun to learn the leon, and earn the benefits, of writing notes thatlift people up.Former Ford chairman Donald Peterson, who is largelycredited for turning the company round in the 1980s, made it a practice to write positive meages to aociates every day.“I'd just scribblethem on a memo pad or

那些通常做作的公司高层经理们，其领导作风只能被形容为强硬、冷漠、脱离群众。甚至这些人也开始学习写便笺去鼓舞人心，且从中获益匪浅。唐纳德·彼得森，福特公司的前主席，把每天写便笺鼓励同事当作一件日常工作。该公司在20世纪80年代时走出低谷取得成功主要是他的功劳。“我只不过匆匆地在备忘录或信的角上写一些鼓舞人心的话，然后传递出去，”他说道。“每天最重要的一段时间，就是鼓舞那些为你工作的人的那10分钟。”
writing notes, busy people do it: George Bush
尽管写便笺会多花一些时间，但一些非常忙的人也在这么做，其中包括乔治·布什。有人说，他政治上的成功在很大程度上归功于他那枝随时准备写字的笔。这是怎么回事呢？在他整个职业生涯中，每次与人们接触之后，他几乎都随后写封信，内容亲切——一句赞美之辞，一行表扬的话，或一段感谢语。他不仅写给朋友和同事，还写给萍水相逢的人以及完全陌生的人——比如那位借伞给他的人，后来收到他热情的赞扬信，感到很惊讶。
phone calls vs.notes
当然打电话的缺点是：说过的话留不住。而一张便笺使我们的良好意愿显得更加珍贵。便笺是白纸黑字记录在案的东西，而且我们写下的字可以反复阅读，细细品味并珍藏起来。the corner of a letter and pa them along,” he says.“The most important ten minutes of your day are those you spend doing something to boost the people who work for you.” [10] “Too often,” he observed, “people people thrive on positive we genuinely like have no idea how we reinforcement(following 9)feel about them.Too often we think, I “太多的时候，”他说，“那些我们真正喜欢的人并haven't said anything critical;why do I 不知道我们是怎么看待他们的。太多的时候，我have to say something positive?

２）简短（short）。如果不能用三句话表达出你的意思，你很可能过火了，写得太长。们会以为，我并没有说过什么批评的话，为什么非得去说好话呢？我们忘了，人类需要正面的肯定或鼓励——事实上，我们靠这个取得进步，获得成功！”
