它说明了一切It Said Everything当选州长那天，杰布布什将一本小册子送给自己的副州长弗兰克布罗根，上面写上了如下的话：你是一位信使。有几个月的时间，州长新闻办公室的墙上钉着一张纸，这张纸上已经写满了读过《致加西亚的信》的人的名字。布什在一封电子邮件中说，他在寻找能把信送给加西亚的人，并使他成为我们团队中的一员。《致加西亚的信》发表于1899年，讲述了罗文勇敢穿越古巴山林将信息传递给加西亚的故事。受到这个故事的启发，阿尔伯特哈伯德写了这篇文章，它广为流传，成为雇主激励员工的材料，一个世纪后又成为布什总统和他年轻的共和党职员们的信条。是肯赖特把这本书送给杰布布什的，赖特是这样解读这篇文章的：做一件事就要做好。不过起初，布什对这本书并不感兴趣，可是当赖特再次碰到布什的时候，布什已经读完了这本书，他对这本书的反应是：这本书太惊人了，它说明了一切。 or the governor, A Message to Garcia imparts an important message to his troops.

by William YardleyTALLAHASSEEThe day he became governor, Jeb Bush signed the inside of a small hardback book and presented it to his new No. 2 man.Slim and barely bigger than a checkbook, the copy of A Message to Garcia now sits on an end table in the office of Lt. Gov. Frank Brogan. Bush wrote four words above his signature： You are a messenger !Brogan, it turns out, is one of many messengers in the Bush administration.For months, staffers in the governors press office signed a sheet of paper tacked to a wall asking for the names of everyone who had read A Message to Garcia. By spring of this year the sheet was full.I gave it to all of the folks that started out with us at the beginning of the administration, Bush said recently in response to an e-mail. I look for people who will take the message to Garcia to be part of our team. People of determination and integrity that dont need too much adult supervision are the ones that can change the world!A Message to Garcia is an essay, really, 24 paragraphs simply bound and covered.Originally published in 1899, A Message to Garcia recounts the intrepid sojourn Lt. Andrew Summers Rowan undertook into the hills of Cuba in 1898. The United States would soon be at war with Spain, and President William McKinley sent Rowan to find Gen. Calixto Garcia, leader of insurgent Cuban forces fighting Spanish control.Without asking how or where he might find Garcia, Rowan set off. He found him, and returned to Washington to inform McKinley of the strength and position of the rebels and the Spaniards. The information was crucial on the eve of war.Newspapers celebrated the unlikely mission. Rowan became famous.Inspired by the story, a printer in upstate New York wrote an essay that, in its day, became one of the best-selling publications in the world： motivational material for a generation of employers and, a century later, something of a creed for Bush and his young Republican staff.The printer and essayist, Elbert Hubbard, wrote：The point I wish to make is this： McKinley gave Rowan a letter to be delivered to Garcia; Rowan took the letter and did not ask, Where is he at? By the Eternal! There is a man whose form should be cast in deathless bronze and the statue placed in every college of the land.It is not book-learning young men need, nor instruction about this and that, but a stiffening of the vertebrae which will cause them to be loyal to a trust, to act promptly,concentrate their energies： do the thing- Carry a message to Garcia !They do not chant the phrase like a fight song, but, Bushs Communication Director Justin Sayfie said, Everyone in the press office was required to read the essay. Its a good guiding principle that I always use： Dont get bogged down in the obstacles to your task. Accomplish the task and do so using self-reliance. All senior staff have read it.And how did Jeb Bush come to read A Message to Garcia?Ken Wright, an Orlando attorney who has worked on campaigns for Bush and his former-president father, gave him a copy during his 1998 campaign for governor.Wright interprets the essay this way： Whining isnt allowed. Thats my ethic： You got a job to do, do the job. He remembers exactly the conversation he had with the candidate when he recommended the book：I gave it to Jeb and Jeb says, Im really not into this new age stuff.I said Jeb, read the book. It will take you a cup of coffee to read this book. This is not new age stuff. This is older than the hills.When I ran into him next he had read it. His reaction was the same as I would have expected it be： That book was awesome. It says it all.??
