Here again I would venture to utter a word of caution to business men. Let them study their own affairs frankly, and face the truth. If their methods are extravagant, let them realize the facts and act accordingly. One cannot successfully go against natural tendencies, and it is folly to fail to recognize them. It is not easy for so impressionable and imaginative a people as we Americans are to come down to plain, hard facts, yet we are doing it without loss of self-esteem or prestige throughout the world.

白话
这里我再冒昧给生意人提个醒:要坦率地研究自己的事务,面对真相。如果做法铺张浪费,就承认事实并相应调整。人不能成功逆着自然趋势走,不承认趋势是愚蠢的。像我们美国人这样容易冲动、富于想象的人,要回到朴素坚硬的事实上来并不容易,但我们正在这样做,而且并没有因此失去自尊或世界声望。

你最近有没有在某个开销或习惯上,明明知道不合理却不愿承认?
