"Of course, you shall have it at once," I would answer, but I knew that he was testing me, and that when I paid him, he would hold the money without its earning anything for a little time, and then offer it back later. I confess that this little discipline should have done me good, and perhaps did, but while I concealed it from him, the truth is I was not particularly pleased with his application of tests to discover if my financial ability was equal to such shocks.

白话
一位客户常向洛克菲勒借钱,他总答应“当然,马上给你”,但知道对方在试探自己:还钱时对方会扣住资金一段时间不付利息,然后再还回来。洛克菲勒承认这种小考验本应有益,但当时并不太高兴。这揭示:商业中有人会用小测试考察你的财务能力和定力。做法是:识别试探,保持冷静,按规则办事,不必因对方的小手段而情绪化,同时保护自己的利益。
