安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Father's death threw upon me the management of affairs to a greater extent than ever. Mother kept on the binding of shoes; Tom went steadily to the public school; and I continued with Mr. Scott in the service of the railroad company. Just at this time Fortunatus knocked at our door. Mr. Scott asked me if I had five hundred dollars. If so, he said he wished to make an investment for me. Five hundred cents was much nearer my capital. I certainly had not fifty dollars saved for investment, but I was not going to miss the chance of becoming financially connected with my leader and great man. So I said boldly I thought I could manage that sum. He then told me that there were ten shares of Adams Express stock that he could buy, which had belonged to a station agent, Mr. Reynolds, of Wilkinsburg. Of course this was reported to the head of the family that evening, and she was not long in suggesting what might be done. When did she ever fail? We had then paid five hundred dollars upon the house, and in some way she thought this might be pledged as security for a loan.

白话
父亲去世后，卡内基更多地挑起家计：母亲继续做鞋面，弟弟汤姆照常上学，他继续在斯科特先生手下做铁路公司的工作。这时机会来敲门：斯科特问他有没有五百美元，想替他投资。卡内基连五十美元都没存下，却不愿错过跟这位领袖产生财务联系的机会，便硬着头皮说能凑到。斯科特要买的是十股亚当斯快递股票。当晚他把这事告诉母亲，母亲立刻想到用已付五百美元房款的房子作抵押贷款。她又一次拿出办法。

当机会来临时，你是否有勇气说“我能想办法”，并真的去想办法？
