5月2日范燕青一行专门来到位于洛杉矶的南加州大学生物医药中心，看望海归人才胡培声博士。南加州大学生物医药中心长期从事抗体工程领域的研究，掌握着世界上最先进的抗体工程技术，该中心胡培声博士研究的两个生物医药抗肿瘤项目已经签约成为常州市第二批领军型海归创业人才项目。范燕青与胡培声博士进行了亲切交谈，他希望胡培声博士与常州企业密切合作，为常州生物制药产业的发展作出贡献，常州市各级政府也将给予积极支持。胡培声博士表示，对常州的创业环境和政府的服务感到满意，对将自己的研究成果早日实现产业化充满信心
美国洛杉矶地区有很多著名院校，高层次海外人才较多。有的则是听到消息后专程从外地赶来的。市委书记范燕青感谢大家的到来，他说，有这么多高层次海外人才前来参会，说明大家对祖国及我们常州的发展都很关注，有强烈的报效祖国，发展事业的愿望，常州将努力为海归人才创造一个良好的创业环境、平台和载体。
范燕青说，改革开放已经走过30年的历程，经济社会发展要走向更高的层次，就必须吸引更多人才，特别是高层次的海外留学人员参与到我们创新创业的队伍中来。目前高层次海外人才回国创业的机遇很好，应该看到，我们国家正在发生深刻的变化，这个变化就是重要的社会转型期，表现在文化的多元化、包容性比以往任何时候都强；依法治国的理念正在深入人心。作为常州来讲，为建设创新型城市而实施的千名海归人才集聚工程，就是要以此充实常州的传统文化，逐步使文化的多元性更强，增强城市的发展活力，注入长期的、无穷的发展动力。
范燕青指出，要重振常州雄风，再创常州辉煌，产业升级是关键。先进装备制造、新材料、电子信息、新能源、生物技术及制药等五大产业已列为常州未来发展的重点目标。常州欢迎在座高层次海外人才带着朋友、同学、同事到常州来创业，各级政府和部门要以更加开放的姿态、更加开放的环境、更加优异的服务来吸引人才，加快完善机制体制，不仅要让高层次人才引得进、留得住、用得好，更要让他们在常创业有舞台、有前途、有利益。
姜镇英、胡培声、陈钧铭、薛亚平、王吉成、李先进、刘金、玫公勒、姚应梅、王海潮、鄺仲豪、朱晓丹、洪海、王霄飞、叶伟、刘大海、郑小明。。。等三十多名专家和学者出席了会议。
与会人员对常州良好的创新创业环境充满兴趣，纷纷就海外人才到常创业的优惠政策以及创业渠道进行咨询，有的还对常州怎样才能更好地吸引高层次海外人才提出了建议。美国绿色原野公司首席执行官程裕富博士此次带来了生物柴油、节能设备两项环保技术，他希望在常州能找到合作伙伴一起开发，并建议常州就急需项目建立项目库。经贸代表团成员在会上当场回答了他提出的问题，市外经贸局就这两项技术与程裕富博士进行深入的沟通，期望项目最终落户常州。常州经贸代表团务实高效的作风受到了大家的热烈欢迎。在美国已创办公司的陆学琪博士在生物医药方面有一个专门研发团队，因为同学已经成为常州首批16个领军型海归创业人才，所以对常州有着良好印象，这次他是专门驱车两小时从其它城市赶来。他说，他是江苏人，从南京大学留学美国，他知道南大已在常州设立研究院，说明常州的科研环境好，专业人才充裕，投资环境良好，所以他已打算把公司搬到常州去发展。通过半天的会议，已有一批留美人员表达了到常州创业发展的愿望。

華人之光 - 胡玲當選美國家科學院院士
美国国家科学院4月29日公布了本年度新增选华裔科学家胡玲院士。 即將在下個月度過61歲生日的胡玲现为美国加利福尼亚大学圣巴巴拉分校电子和计算机工程系、材料系教授，加利福尼亚纳米系统研究所主管科学事务的主任。 胡玲出生於1947年的5月15日，1969年畢業於Barnard College，取得學士學位，1971與1975年先後獲得哥倫比亞大學的碩士與博士學位。
在美國接受完整高等教育的胡玲，為華裔科學界津津樂道的是，她不但是台灣中研院數理科學組的第二位女院士，而且還是第一位女院士、有「中國居禮夫人」之稱的吳健雄博士晚年所指導的博士班學生。 四年前台灣中研院在選舉第25屆院士時，學術圈對胡玲顯赫的科學研究表現就給予高度推崇，對她最後繼吳健雄之後成為數理科學組的第二位女性院士，則傳為美談，認為吳健雄後繼有人。
美国国家科学院是在第145届年会上宣布新增选的院士和外籍院士名单的。包括胡玲和陶哲轩在内，美国国家科学院本年度新增选了72名院士和18名外籍院士。至此，美国国家科学院的院士总数增至2041人，外籍院士总数升至397人。 美国国家科学院创建于1863年，是美国科学界最高荣誉机构。

Chicago to expand foreign language
programs in Chinese, Arabic and Russian
The Chicago
Tribune (5/1, Ataiyero,
Mihalopoulos) reports, "Chicago Public Schools (CPS) will expand its
foreign language curriculum next year, teaching more students Chinese and Arabic
and launching Russian in several schools." The district, which already
claims "the largest [Chinese] program in the nation," is
"re-allocat[ing] $1 million from its general fund" for the expansion,
and expects "to hire about 15 new language teachers for 15 schools."
In announcing the initiative, Mayor Richard Daley (D) "said he hoped that
the announcement would lead to additional language curriculum funding from
community and business leaders," and argued "that globalism is an important
part of a student's education." Diane Zendejas, CPS's chief officer of the
office of language and cultural education, agreed, saying "the expansion
of the foreign language programs will help students be better world citizens."

仗义执言的女学者：王文畅教授对CSUN总教务长等人关于CNN和西藏问题的对话
Dear Colleagues,
The fight among the
dept Chairs started from me by an accident, reached the Provost (and the councilman),
and it also ended up with my final replay to Harry. The campus is quiet now. I organized this
with Warrens first, my last reply to the Provost, Chows strong argument, and
then followed by the dates and time of others (omitted Chairs who told me that they
support China Intuition very much and they mainly asked what I challenged in my
letter which I used Ancient Chinese language).
By the way, I always
tell my students how much I appreciate the last 200 years philosophical and
scientific contributions to the world made by westerners.
Thank you very much
for your time, kindness, help, and support for me.

I read your email response to
Dr. Wang. I would like to remind you that the University is a place to
encourage freethinking. The spirit of the University is to encourage free
exchange of opinions. In fact, that is why a tenure system is needed.
Your suggestion to censor Dr.
Wang for using the university email to exchange with other academics,
particularly the chairs who suppose to set examples and lead their departments,
is exactly opposite to this spirit. If you had chosen to debate what Dr. Wang
stands for in her email, it would have been in line with the academic spirit.
There have been precedents in our lifetime such as the society under the Nazi
rule and our own country under the McCarthy doctrine.
But we have over come.
Thanks for modern technology; the email has enhanced this free exchange. If
controversial opinions were stifled on campuses as well as on email, the
universities would lose their meaning. The progress of our society could change
course and head backward. What is the purpose of having universities any more?
As we have seen in industry, transfer of knowledge could be carried out simply
by setting up workshops taught by technicians. It is just as efficient.
Let us take a look at our
history as recent as during the civil right movement and the Vietnam War, not
only the universities but also the public schools played a very important role.

this up at this crucial time when the existence of universities is in question

Dear Colleagues:
I do hope these emails can
lead us to devise some sort of on campus discussion of the recent protests of
CNN by Chinese here in America.
I for one want free discussion
of issues on and off campus, but I do not remember calls for political action
or support coming through the campus email system in the past. A speaker
on a contentious issue might be announced, but a political call to the campus
community to "fight back" collectively
has never been issued I believe, except perhaps in the case of something like
budget cuts to the CSUS. Even that has come through the CFA union, not the
faculty itself.
For my own information, I would
like to know what specific issues Dr. Wang addresses? The nasty comments of one CNN
commentator, or the reporting on CNN of
I want in my small way to help
these two nations find ways to work together peacefully. I am worried that news
coming out of China by US media has turned very negative and could spoil the
Olympics by emphasis on problems, without appreciating and acknowledging the
great strides the Chinese people are making in reaching out to the world and
transforming their own country.
Therefore I want US and our local
CSUN reaction to events such as the CNN protest to be carefully understood and
debated. I doubt this can be done via email, and any call to action at
this point seems premature.

situations like these are hard for
everyone because many are politically sympathetic with the issue, and there is
murky territory between informing and political action. as

Bob:
To my understanding the whole
thing started with the Tibetan movement, by whom I do not know. Then an
anchor man at CNN said in public that "Chinese are goons and thugs"
on his program. When the Chinese, mainly those in this country, demanded an
apology, CNN clarified that the vilification was not meant for all Chinese.
They reiterated that it was meant
for the leaders of that country.

A Personal Reflection
On Hypocrisy Over Tibet
By JOHN V. WHITBECK
I have been watching with growing
amazement and
concern the assaults on the bizarrely
quasi-religious
Olympic Torch as it has staggered
through London,
Paris and San Francisco, as well as
the self-righteous
pronouncements by certain European
"leaders" (and even
by the European Parliament, the UN
Secretary-General
and John McCain) that they will not
be attending the
opening ceremony of the Olympics or
are seriously
considering not attending or urging
others not to
attend unless China bows to their
"human rights"
demands.
Have they even been invited? Who
needs them? Why,
aside from the obvious intention to
give offense,
should the Chinese care?
I should make clear from the start
that I am
profoundly sympathetic to Tibetand
Tibetans. I have
had the privilege of meeting His
Holiness the Dalai
Lama on two occasions, most recently
when we both
spoke at the same human rights
conference in
and the white kata which he hung around my neck on the
first occasion is proudly displayed
in my study. In
person, he exudes a quiet, modest
charisma and aura of
human saintliness that is captivating
even to an
atheist -- unlike any other person
whom I have ever
met. I wish that he could return to
the
and his Norbulingka summer residence
and that his
people could enjoy the broad cultural
and
administrative autonomy which he
seeks for them.
Furthermore, when I traveled in Tibet
in 1981 (at a
time when I had already visited all
but one of the
world's then existing countries), I
found it, far and
away, the most fascinating place
which I had ever
visited. It took my breath away in
every sense.
Having said that, the current anti-Chinese
frenzy in
the West, pursued in the guise of
pro-Tibetan (and, to
a lesser extent, pro-Darfuri) human
rights activism,
and the Western media's coverage of
it reek of
hypocrisy.
As best I can tell, the recent
violence occurred when
some ethnic Tibetans,
understandably fed up with the
ever-increasing presence and
domination of Han Chinese
in traditional Tibetan areas,
exploded in frustration,
burned some Han Chinese shops and
killed some Han
Chinese civilians. What, in such
circumstances, would
one expect the Chinese authorities to
do? When, by way
of example, some African-Americans in
Watts and other
poor areas of
burned some white- and Korean-owned
stores and
attacked some non-blacks, did the
American police run
away? As I recall, they sought to
restore order. So
have the Chinese authorities. (As a
practical matter,
the most brutal images of repressive
police action
against ethnic Tibetan protestors
have not come from
Can anyone seriously argue that
Chinese treatment of
Tibetans, who have not been subject
to either genocide
or ethnic cleansing and of whom the
vast majority
continue to live on their ancestral
lands, compares
unfavorably with the treatment
accorded to the Native
Americans by the European settlers of
North America or
the treatment accorded (and
continuing to be accorded)
to the indigenous Palestinians by the
Zionist settlers
of Palestine? Can anyone seriously
argue that it is
even in the same league of evil and
injustice?
With more than 50 recognized ethnic
minorities
comprising roughly six percent of
China's immense
population, Chinese government policy
has always aimed
at cultural integration of all
Chinese citizens rather
than at multiculturalism. Inevitably,
some peoples are
deeply attached to their own distinct
cultures and do
not wish to be integrated into
another one. If Chinese
treatment of certain ethnic
minorities justly merits
criticism, most serious observers
would argue that
repressive measures against the
Uighurs of Xinjiang
have been more severe than repressive
measures against
Tibetans.
However, although there are many more Uighurs than
Tibetans, one hears very little about
Uighurs in the
West. They are Muslims. Uighur
nationalist movements
are on America's list of
"terrorst" groups, and four
Uighurs swept up in Afghanistan were
incarcerated at
Guantanamo for years, even long after
being exonerated
as potential threats to America,
before finally being
dumped in Albania, because no other
country would
provide them asylum.
Furthermore, how reasonable is it to
hold China
responsible for the human suffering
resulting from
multiple separatist insurgencies and
governmental
counterinsurgency measures in the
Darfur region of
Sudan (because China invests in
Sudan's oil industry?)
while not holding America and its
Western
collaborators responsible for the far
worse human
suffering resulting from America's
invasions and
occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq
and America's
unconditional financial and
diplomatic support for
Israel's occupation of Palestine?
If the Chinese feel that the current
anti-Chinese
frenzy in the West has its roots in
jealousy at
China's 12% annual economic growth rate
and its
increasing success in all aspects of
world affairs,
seasoned with ample doses of racism
and hypocrisy,
this would not be an irrational
appreciation of the
situation.
At least with respect to its role in
world affairs,
recent decades, focused on improving
the economic
conditions and quality of life of its
people rather
than on military aggression or
full-spectrum
domination of mankind and the planet,
even while its
strength and potential power have
been growing
exponentially. Seeking personal
emotional satisfaction
or domestic political advantage by
gratuitously
sticking pins in the Chinese dragon
is unlikely to
prove a wise course of action.
The world has enough problems already.

lawyer, is author

Whitbeck".

The Chinese Context
The Chinese government is responsible for the well-being
and security of one-fourth of humanity. Race riots and rebellion cannot be
tolerated, not even when done by Buddhist monks.
Chinese Civilization was already old
when the Egyptians began building pyramids. But the last 200 years have not
gone well, what with two Opium Wars forcing China to import drugs, and
Europeans seizing coastal ports as a step to complete colonial control, then
the Boxer Rebellion, the collapse of the Manchu Dynasty, civil war, a brutal
invasion and occupation by Japan, more civil war, then Communist consolidation
and transformation of society, then Mao's Cultural Revolution. Such events
caused tens of millions of people to die. Thus,
Considering this context,

The Australian government recently apologized to the Aboriginal minority for
taking children from their families, forcing them to speak English, beating
them if they spoke their mother tongue.

to minorities when it comes to admission to universities. For example, Tibetan
students enter

Dr. Wang only meant to send it to me and some other Chinese faculty, we
strongly support her thoughts and writings against the racial remarks made by
Cafferty at CNN. Our Chinese visiting scholars and students also
participated in the demonstration at CNN on April 19. In fact, I'm going
to invite some of them to my class for a PPT presentation about this event
tomorrow, as it's consistent with one of the major themes of my course on
diversity and equality in education.
All the best,

In my opinion, most intellectuals in
The world development is not an even one, according to
the Economic Long Wave theory. Using
certain countries standards to criticize other countries policies is not going
to help much, because the changes should be mainly made from within rather than
from the outside.
Most Chinese, not only Mainlanders, but also old generation American Chinese here, know that CNNs comments
are extremely Racistwe are not goons and thugs. CNN dares not to say ONE bad word to Blacks
because of its shameful slavery history, but it dares to say anything to
Chinese.
My 1st Chinese letter sending to all dept

- 科学人才观浅说
(邓伟志)
(一)六亿神州尽舜尧
功以才成，业由才广。各项事业要发展，都要靠人才来带动、推动和拉动。
一提人才，就免不了说到那些艺术明星、学术名人、社会名流。殊不知，他们只是人才汪洋大海中的一粟。如果只把他们当人才，那就是片面的人才观，畸形的人才观，不科学的人才观。
人，一切正常的人，只要能按正常人的生活方式生活，照正常人的学习方式学习，依正常人的行为方式作为，就能为社会做出不平常的贡献，成为不平常的人才。
平凡出伟大。伟大未必出伟大。耀眼的珍珠无不是出自于不起眼的蛤蜊。大家想想看，历史上有多少伟大人物生不出伟大来，世界上有多少从小就按伟人的生活方式生活的人，到头来没有成为伟人，成了扶不起来的刘阿斗。就是在世袭制的情况下，也世袭不了多少代。龙生龙，凤生凤，是反科学的。
相反的，平凡出伟大则是规律，是铁的规律。俗话说：三百六十行，行行出状元。这一观点是迈向科学人才观的第一步。在封建社会里，能喊出这样宏亮的声音，是难能可贵的。
如今，学科分工越来越细，社会分工越来越细。职业门类有消有长，消长相抵后，远不止360行。新华社说，当代中国至少有两万种职业。在两万种职业中，不管哪一种，都能成人才。养鸡的能成鸡大王。驯虎的能当王中王。你养鸡下蛋少，他养鸡下蛋多;你养鸡下的蛋，蛋黄苍白，他养鸡下的蛋，蛋黄呈桔红色：还不承认人家是人才吗？你见了老虎来了吓得跑，老虎见他来了，老老实实站着听指挥：还不承认人家是人才吗？一手鲜，吃遍天。只要能在自己平凡的岗位上，精通一门手艺，就是能工巧匠，就是十足的人才。只要有一技之长，就是人才。不承认他们是人才，就是不懂得科学是从哪里来的。实践出真知，也必然会生出真知的载体人才。
这一行的状元与那一行的状元之间，有可比性，又没可比性。长期以来，有个数学家与物理学家谁了不起的争论，能说清楚吗？这等于问：是一斤大还是一尺大？只有用行行出状元一说，才能解释明白。
上海有所举世闻名的高校复旦大学，曾有位副校长是个工人。对此，不管是批左，还是批右的时候，都没有人说个不字，老实讲，也没有谁敢说个不字。发明一两种电光源就可当教授，发明两三种电光源就可当院士。工人蔡祖泉发明了几十种电光源，还不能当大学校长吗？
爱因斯坦、莎士比亚在未成名前都是普通人。爱因斯坦在提出狭义相对论以后，想谋个讲师的位子当当，都有困难。莎士比亚在成名前是个剧场的勤杂工。再早是什么人？是同当今中国所谓的农民工没有任何区别的农民工。可后来呢？就不用说了。
圣人不曾高，众人不曾低。(李贽)我们应当理直气壮地承认：正常的人都能成人才。古人早就指出，只看文凭，只看学历，人才就少; 不看文凭，不看学历，注重实际，人才就多。在心胸狭窄的人手下，人才就少;在心胸宽阔的人眼里，人才就多。千里马常有，而伯乐不常有。伯乐不到，千里马就少;伯乐一到，养马场里的马就会被选光了。汉朝有好几个人都先后说过一句意思差不多的箴言，叫做：十室之邑，必有俊士。有些人即使一时不是才，那也是准人才，是人才的预备队员。
正常的人能成人才，那么，不正常的人呢？比如说残疾人。残疾人成才的难度大，但是，决不是说不能成才。只要他们身残心不残，照样能成大才。任何人的大脑都是信息加工厂。人采集外界信息靠五官。眼是第一官。人获得的大部分信息是靠视觉采集来的。盲人视力不好，采集的信息量少。可是，正因为视力差，就逼着把听力锻炼得比正常人要好得多。中国有位盲人，能学许多名人的说唱，惟妙惟肖，连被摹仿的名人自己都佩服得五体投地，原因就在于他的听力特别好。2008年初，纽约州选出一位能力非凡的盲人当州长，举世瞩目。聋哑人听力不好，也促使他们把视力练得特别好。中国有许多聋哑人成为优秀的服装设计师，在国际上获大奖。荷兰出过很多名画家，却少有音乐大师, 据说是因为他们那个民族的听力差、视觉就发达有关。浙江有位无臂书法家。脚写的字，比许多人用手写的还好。残疾人中出奇才。
残疾人大脑好，没智障，如果有智障，能成才吗？也能。这只要看一看在上海举办的世界特奥会上，来自各国的精彩表演就理解了。有智障的人，抽象思维能力差，形象思维能力不见得差。武汉有位智障人指挥交响乐，驰名中外，难道还不是人才吗？
是人都能成人才的命题，不仅符合客观实际，而且为以人为本的思想奠定了基石。只有认为人人能成才，方可以人为本。人不是才，何必以人为本？只有认为人人能成才，方能民为贵，方能以民为天，方能聚焦民生，方能以天下治天下。否则，以官为本，以少数人为本。只有认为人人能成才，方才需要走群众路线，树立群众观点，而不会把天下安危系在少数人身上。
六亿神州尽舜尧。五十年前，在中国只有六亿人口时，一位伟人所说的这句话，是诗篇，也是理论。
(二)科学人才观的八大要点
(1) 是人就能成人才
人才来源的广泛性
从人脑细胞的情况看，人的脑量是有差异的。可是，有点差异在一般情况下，并不影响人的思维能力。因为，人脑除了运动区、语言区以外，还有一个尚未启动的庞大的静区，不存在什么脑细胞不够用的问题。这是人才广泛性的生理前提。当然，脑量太少，成了没脑儿，也不行！
过去讲高贵者最愚蠢，卑贱者最聪明，固然是极而言之，如果认为高贵者与 卑贱者都聪明，或者说高贵者较愚蠢，卑贱者较聪明，那还是有道理的。这点改动并不是什么自作聪明，而是真理标准教给我们的高明，是真理标准提醒我们：不拘一格降人才。
(2)闻道有先后，术业有专攻
人才水平的层次性
人的五个手指不一样长。人才无疑也是有大小之分的。九百年前，苏轼就讲过才有大小， 才各有小大。 大小也好， 小大也罢，都说明人才的水平是相对的，是有层次性的。社会上，既有智者千虑，必有一失的智者，也有智者千虑，必有三失 的智者。不用说，三失的就没有一失的水平高嘛！有高低是正常的，有高低才有梯队，有结构，才是错落有致。只有一类、一档人才，是难以取得全胜的。
(3)世上只有地才，没有天才
育才上的实践性
我们是唯物主义的反映论者，而不是先验论者。我们认为，人的才能是后天形成的，而不是天上掉下来的，也不是娘胎里带来的。天才就是勤奋，天才就是汗水。天才来源于实践，来源于丰富的实践，来源于长期的实践。迄今已经发现了几十个被动物带大的孩子，其中还有个王子。他们到好几岁以后，仍然是用四肢行走，不会说话。他们从人孩变成了狼孩、豹孩、猴孩。
人的直接实践总是有限的，大量的知识是间接获得的。这就得学习。这就得受教育。能受良好的教育，容易成大才; 不能受良好的教育，只能成小才。人都是学而知之。钢琴家朗朗如果没有受过特殊的教育和他自己的努力接受教育，怕也成不了今天的朗朗。刘翔跑得快，也是同他所受的教育分不开的。既然教育是提炼人才的大熔炉，这就迫切要求教育要公平。教育不公平，就难以人人成才。
孟子曰：得天下英才而教育之。这话只说对了一半。应当是得天下人而教育之，使之成英才。材无不可范而成。范，就是规范、规律，传授规范、规律，就是教育。实践是成才之父，教育是成才之母。即使是千里马，如果不喂它饲料，不继续训练，那也跑不动、跑不好的。
(4)十个人才九个傻
识才上的两点论
智莫难于知人。才能也体现在识才上。除了死人不再出错外，人没有不出错的。可是，我们对人才的宣传多有片面性。只说有才的一面，不说无才的一面，把人才，尤其是把大人才描写得完美无缺，高不可攀。这是不利于人才涌现的。
黄金无足色，白璧有微瑕。任何人才，天才， 超天才，都有傻的一面，都有不足之处，甚至有的还有很坏的一面。能够做到小事糊涂，大事不糊涂，就很好了。实际上，人才往往是糊涂与不糊涂参半。在此专业、此领域是巨人，在彼专业、彼领域很可能是矮子。数学家陈景润在数学上出类拔萃，可是在别的方面确实傻得可爱。1978年3月我有机会天天见到他，他说起政治来，多有微笑，鲜有宏论。有些学者言必称马克斯韦伯。马克斯韦伯的理论在东西方是热门。可是，谁都知道马克斯韦伯干过不少伤西方之风、 败西方之俗的丑事！爱因斯坦坐公共汽车，忽然发现口袋里没钱，适遇盲人向他乞讨，他不仅不施舍，竟偷了盲人碗里的钱买汽车票。这在今天，如果他是学生是不是要给他个什么处分呢？我1980年拜访过一位曾经与好几届国家领导照过像，上过大报头版的大学者。说起他的成就来，可以说上三天三夜，说实在的对他的伟大成就我也没水平说清楚，可是说起他的失误来，我也能讲上三个小时。历史上，集能臣与 奸雄于一体的，岂止曹操一人！为尊者讳，为有才者讳，不是唯物主义的老实态度。两点论才是科学的。
看到人才的短处，也用不着大惊小怪。对人才，不因马瘦而失马，不能求全责备，不能因人才之所短，而弃其所长。成大功者不计小苛。前面讲到的那位大学者，三天三夜是72小时。3小时与72小时之比，失误还是极小的嘛！识才者应该是不以一眚掩大德。( <左传>)香料的成品是香的，可香料厂的原材料多是臭不可闻的。有眼力的人，必采秽薮之芳蕙(<抱朴子>)不仅如此，还应当看到，愈是有才的人，愈是有人夸大他们的缺点，愈是容易遭人妒忌和中伤。面对这种情况，人们更应当冷静，透过现象看本质，看主流，要网开一面，有时还要网开三面。这才是识才者的胸怀。
不挑剔人才的缺点，不等于放纵他们的缺点。不论是才上的缺陷，还是德上的污点，都要引导他们注意克服。不过，也应当看到，有些时候，优点的延长变了了缺点，在克服其缺点时，力求恰如其分，不要砍过了头，连优点也砍伤了。辩证的人才观才是科学人才观。
(5)外举不弃仇
举才上的客观性
我们有些人最能听得进的是内举不失亲，可是，他们很容易忘记在内举不失亲前面，还有一句更有分量的话，叫做： 外举不弃仇。这两句话出自于两千五百年前。晋侯问大臣祁溪：谁能接你的班？祁溪说：解狐。晋侯说：解狐不是你的仇人吗？ 祁溪说：你是问我谁能任职，不是问我谁是仇人？不料，解狐未任职就死了。祁溪又举了祁午。晋侯说：祁午不是你的儿子吗？ 祁溪说：你是问我谁能任职，不是问我谁是我的儿子？请看，祁溪是先举的仇人啊！如今很多头头，不要说不能做到弃仇，只要跟他提点不同意见，他也会找个借口，把人赶走。喜欢奴才，不爱人才，是当今举才上的一大毒瘤。
