Brevity is the soul of wit. The article (not even a book, only 2.5 pages!) "Message to Garcia" was written in 1899. It has sold over 40 million copies worldwide and is the 10th most read book in the Guinness Book of Records. "Message to Garcia" - a reference book for reading in the morning.
This is a different Hubbard, but the same uncle...
Elbert Green Hubbard (1856-1915) was an American writer, publisher, artist and philosopher. His quotes and sayings have long become popular expressions and have replenished many collections of aphorisms. He was one of the key figures in the artistic movement known as the Arts and Crafts Movement, but he is best known for his essay A Message to Garcia.
“Out of all this mess in Cuba [the Cuban War of Independence between Spain and the United States of America in 1898], I remember one person who stands out from the rest in the same way that Mars, at its zenith, stands out in the starry sky. When war broke out between Spain and the United States, there was an urgent need for quick communication with the leaders of the rebels.Garcia was somewhere in the fortifications in the mountains on the island of Cuba, but no one had the slightest idea where. The President had to enlist his support, and quickly.What to do?
War between Spain and the United States of America in 1898. Reports of mistreatment by the Spaniards of the indigenous people of Cuba caused great resentment from the US. The war began with the invasion of American troops on behalf of Cuba. The United States won easily.
President - William McKinley (1843-1901), twenty-fifth President of the United States (1897-1901); served as President of the United States during the Spanish-American War).
Calisto Garcia Iniguez (1836?–1898), Cuban lawyer, soldier and revolutionary He led the Cuban army in battle in the Spanish-American War (1898). Represented Cuba in negotiations with the United States on the subject of Cuban independence (1898).
And then someone said to the President: "There is a man named Rowan who will find Garcia for you, no matter what." Rowan was sent for and given a letter to deliver to the general. How exactly "a guy named Rowan" took the letter, sealed it in a piece of oiled leather, tied it to his chest with ropes, and also how four days later he sailed on a boat to Cuba, landed ashore at night, disappeared into the jungle, and three weeks later appeared on on the other side of the island, walking through a huge country and delivering a letter to Garcia - I have no particular desire to tell. But I want to note the following: McKinley gave Rowan a letter that Garcia needed to deliver, Rowan took the letter and went to fulfill the order, without even asking: "Where can I find this Garcia?" This man should have a monument erected in bronze and his statue placed in every college and school throughout the country.
Lieutenant Andrew Summers Rowan (1857–1943). Following a successful mission, Rowan was promoted to the rank of U.S. Lieutenant Colonel. In Cuba during the war he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. After the Spanish-American War, he served with the 19th Infantry Regiment in the Philippine Islands, where he was awarded the Silver Star. Retired from the US Army in 1909. The film "Message to Garcia", 1936, was made about him. Posthumously inducted into the US Military Intelligence Hall of Fame.
And it’s not about what a young man who sits and studies books needs, not about all kinds of instructions about this or that, but about how, with clenched teeth, become a devotee, act quickly, gather your strength and energy ... and fulfill task is to deliver a message to Garcia.
General Garcia is no longer alive, but there are always other Garcias. Perhaps there are none among you who have ever taken on a task that required the participation of many people, and after some time, would not be horrified by the dementia and helplessness of the average person, his inability, lack of readiness and desire to concentrate on this case and fulfill it.
Sloppy care, stupid inattention, careless and indifferent attitude, and work done without a soul seem to have become something for granted. Today, no one succeeds unless he puts a knife to someone else’s throat or bribes him to help him, not counting on the Lord to have mercy and perform a miracle by sending him a good angel to help him.
You, the reader, can put my words to a simple test. Here you are sitting in your office, you have six clerks at your disposal. Call any of them and give him this task: "Please look into the encyclopedia and provide me with a brief summary of the life of Correggio" (Antonio Allegri da Correggio (1494-1534), Italian painter). You think the clerk would just say calmly, "Yes, sir!" - go and do your job? Yes, never in my life! He will look up at you with his dull eyes and ask you at least one of these questions:
And who is it? What encyclopedia?
Where can I get an encyclopedia?
Was I hired for this?
Do you mean Bismarck? (Otto von Bismarck (1815–1898), German political leader and first chancellor (head of government) of Germany from 1871 to 1890)
Why don't Charlie do it?
Is he alive?
And is it urgent?
Or maybe I'll bring you a book and you can see for yourself?
And what is it for?
And I bet ten to one that after you answer these questions and tell him where to find the encyclopedia and why you need it, the clerk will go and ask another clerk to help him find Garcia, and then come back and say what's wrong the person does not exist. Of course, I can lose this bet, but according to the average statistics, I will not lose it. And, if you're smart enough, you won't bother explaining to your "assistant" that Correggio should be looked for on "Kor" and not "Kar" - you just smile very nicely and say "Okay, don't" go and find the information that interests you.
Incapacity for independent action, stupidity, weakness of character, unwillingness to happily take up the execution of some business - it was the absence of this that advanced socialism so far. If people are unwilling to act for their own sake, what will they do when it comes to the good of all?
Perhaps a baton-wielding deputy or the grim prospect of being kicked out on the street on a Saturday night will keep some of your employees out of the job, but shout out that you need a stenographer and nine out of ten candidates will be illiterate, even though they themselves will be absolutely sure that they can write and correct commas. Can such a person deliver a letter to Garcia?
See that accountant over there? - asked me one foreman in a large factory.
Yes, why?
So, as an accountant, he is still nothing, but if I send him to the city with some kind of assignment, even if he fulfills it, he will stop by four taverns along the way, and when he gets to the right street, he will forget why he was sent.
Can such a person be trusted to deliver a message to Garcia? Not so long ago we heard sentimental appeals for sympathy towards "oppressed slum dwellers" and "unemployed vagrants looking for honest employers" and all sorts of other heresy against those in power. But for some reason, no one says anything about the employer, who manages to grow old in vain attempts to get from these same ragamuffins at least a little reasonable performance of work? About his long patience in the hope of getting at least some help from these very "helpers" who do nothing but goof off behind his back.
In every workshop and every factory there is a continuous selection. The employer constantly gives a turn to the "assistants" who have demonstrated their inability to advance the interests of the common cause, and recruits new people. No matter how well things are going, this selection happens all the time. Unless, in those times when things are going well, this selection is more gentle. However, those who are incompetent and unworthy will invariably drop out. This is for the survival of those who are worth something. It is this interest that drives every employer to retain the best - those who are able to deliver a message to Garcia.
I knew one man who had really brilliant qualities, but who was completely unable to manage his own affairs and was of no value to anyone, because he always had the crazy idea that his employer intended to oppress him or was already oppressing him. He was incapable of giving orders and unwilling to receive them. If he were ordered to deliver a message to Garcia, his response would most likely be: "Deliver it yourself!"
Today this man walks the streets in search of work and the wind walks through the holes in his tattered raincoat. No one who knew him would dare to take him to work, as he is a notorious troublemaker. Appeals to common sense have no effect on him, and the only thing that can leave at least some mark on him is the toe of a size forty-five tarpaulin boot.
Of course, I know that such a morally corrupted person can only be treated with regret, like a cripple. However, while we regret it, let's shed a tear also for those who aspire to do something great, whose working hours are not limited to working "bell to bell", whose hair breaks into gray because they struggle with carelessness, carelessness, indifference, dementia, helplessness and heartless ingratitude, about those who, for the sake of their work, are ready to starve and be left without a roof over their heads.
Perhaps I put it in too dark a tone. Maybe. But in our time, when the world has fallen so low, I would like to put in a good word for those who succeed - all those who, against all odds, direct the forces of other people in the right direction, and about those who, having achieved success, treat it as something taken for granted - that is, no more than to their housing or clothes.
I myself was both a day laborer and an employer. I know that there are things that can be said from both points of view. Who argues - there is nothing good in poverty, and no one envy tattered rags. But agree also that not all employers are insatiable marauders and oppressors - just as not all poor people are virtuous angels.
I admire those who get the job done when their boss isn't over them, or even when their boss is at home. And also those who, when handed a message for Garcia, calmly take it and without asking idiotic questions, without any hidden or obvious grievances and without the intention of throwing this letter into the nearest ditch, does only what is required of him - then is, delivers this letter to its destination. And also those who do not quit their jobs and do not go on strike to get a pay rise.
Civilization is a long, anxious search for such people. But on the other hand, whatever such a person asks, he will receive. Such people are needed in every city, in every village, in every office, workshop, shop, factory. The world needs such people. Very much needed. People who can deliver a message to Garcia."
Whenever you leave the house, lift your chin, carry your head and spread your chest. Good advice about enemies, goals, success, excuses.
Elbert Green Hubbard is an American writer, publisher, artist, and philosopher. He was one of the key figures in the artistic movement known as the Arts and Crafts Movement, but he is best known for his essay A Message to Garcia.
And so wise advice:
Do not be afraid of misunderstanding and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies.
Think of the wonderful successes that you are destined to achieve over time, and then you will unconsciously use all the opportunities necessary to use your dreams.
It doesn't take much effort to get things done: the hardest thing is deciding what to do.
Keep the right mood - courage, cordiality and cheerfulness.
We become what our heart tells us to be.
Each of us is a fool for at least 5 minutes a day; wisdom lies in not exceeding the limit.
Never make excuses. Your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe it anyway.
Laugh with others, not at others.
True loneliness is the presence of a person who does not understand you.
The best service that a book can do for you is not only to tell the truth, but to make you think about it.
If you want to avoid criticism, do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.
Whenever you leave the house, lift your chin, carry your head and spread your chest; rejoice in the sun, greet your friends with a smile and put hospitality into every handshake. Do not be afraid of misunderstanding and do not waste a minute thinking about your enemies. Decide firmly for yourself what you want to do, and without hesitation rush to your goal along the shortest path. Think of the wonderful successes that you are destined to achieve in time, and then you will unconsciously use all the opportunities necessary to fulfill your dream, just as a coral polyp takes all the necessary substances from the stream of sea water. Picture in your mind the capable, serious, and significant person you want to be, and let that thought turn you into that person hour after hour. … Thought above all. Keep the right mood - courage, cordiality and cheerfulness. To think right means to create. All ideas come to us through desire, and every sincere prayer finds its response. We become what our heart tells us to be. Keep your chin up and carry your head proudly.
