Among the most persistent and heated discussions I ever had were those with the dear old lady who kept the boarding-house where my brother William and I lived when we were away from home at school. I used to greatly enjoy these talks, for she was an able woman and a good talker, and as she charged us only a dollar a week for board and lodging, and fed us well, I certainly was her friend. This was about the usual price for board in the small towns in those days, where the produce was raised almost entirely on the place.

白话

洛克菲勒回忆学生时代寄宿时,常和房东老太太激烈争论。他觉得争论很有趣,因为老太太能干健谈,而且每周只收一美元食宿费,还管饱。当时小镇上包吃住差不多就是这个价,因为食物几乎都是当地自产的。这说明他看重的是性价比和人的见识,而不是一味省钱。今天我们可以学他:在生活开销上找合理价位,同时珍惜和身边有见识的人交流,哪怕观点不同,也能从中受益。
