桓寬:Discourses on Salt and Iron, Volume 9, 險固第五十, Entry 6

桓寬《鹽鐵論》· 卷9·險固第五十 · Investing · Action · Human nature · Cognition

文學曰:「阻險不如阻義,昔湯以七十里,為政於天下,舒以百里,亡於敵國。此其所以見惡也。使關梁足恃,六國不兼於秦;河、山足保,秦不亡於楚、漢。由此觀之:沖隆不足為強,高城不足為固。行善則昌,行惡則亡。王者博愛遠施,外內合同,四海各以其職來祭,何擊拓而待?傳曰:『諸侯之有關梁,庶人之有爵祿,非升平之興,蓋自戰國始也。」

Henry Ford:My Life and Work, Excerpt 78

Henry Ford《My Life and Work》· Chapter VIII · Leadership

It ought to be the employer's ambition, as leader, to pay better wages than any similar line of business, and it ought to be the workman's ambition to make this possible. Of course there are men in all shops who seem to believe that if they do their best, it will be only for the employer's benefit--and not at all for their own. It is a pity that such a feeling should exist. But it does exist and perhaps it has some justification. If an employer urges men to do their best, and the men learn after a while that their best does not bring any reward, then they naturally drop back into "getting by." But if they see the fruits of hard work in their pay envelope--proof that harder work means higher pay--then also they begin to learn that they are a part of the business, and that its success depends on them and their success depends on it.
