题干

80多年前,美国加利福尼亚州的沃尔逊小镇来了一群饥饿的难民。当镇长杰克逊先生发放食品时,许多难民大嚼大咽,只有一个年轻人例外。他对镇长说:“先生,你送给我这么多好吃的,有什么活让我干吗?”杰克逊笑了说:“我只不过想给你们提供些帮助而已,哪来的活让你做呢?”但年轻人却没有领情的意思:“不,先生,如果没有活做的话,我不会接受你的食物。真的,先生,我总得为你干点什么呀!”但杰克逊实在想不出有什么活可给这年轻人干,于是情急之中蹲了下来,让年轻人给他捶一下背。后来,年轻人被留下来了,杰克逊镇长把女儿嫁给了他。再20年后,这位年轻人成了世界石油大王,他的名字叫哈默。

80年前的这件小事表现了哈默学生的什么品质?这与他后来的成就有关系吗?
