Even at this time I had been planning to relieve myself of business cares, and the panic only caused me to postpone taking the long holiday to which I had been looking forward. I was fortunate in making the acquaintance of Mr. Frederick T. Gates, who was then engaged in some work in connection with the American Baptist Education Society, which required him to travel extensively over the country, north, south, east, and west.

白话

洛克菲勒原本计划卸下业务重担,好好休个长假,但经济恐慌打乱了安排,只能推迟。不过他也因此结识了盖茨先生。盖茨当时为美国浸信会教育协会工作,需要全国各地到处跑。洛克菲勒觉得这很幸运,因为盖茨的旅行和报告后来帮他看清了许多投资的实际状况。核心是:计划常被意外打断,但意外也可能带来关键的人脉和转机。做法是保持开放,别把计划卡死,同时留意身边能帮你解决问题的人。

上下文
