安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 150
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Auntie, who had often played my nurse, liked to dwell upon the fact that I was a screaming infant that had to be fed with two spoons, as I yelled whenever one left my mouth. Captain Jones, our superintendent of the steel works at a later day, described me as having been born "with two rows of teeth and holes punched for more," so insatiable was my appetite for new works and increased production. As I was the first child in our immediate family circle, there were plenty of now venerable relatives begging to be allowed to play nurse, my aunties among them. Many of my childhood pranks and words they told me in their old age. One of them that the aunties remembered struck me as rather precocious.

白话
卡内基借家人回忆说自己婴儿时哭声响亮,得用两把勺子喂奶,一抽走就嚎;后来钢铁厂主管琼斯上尉形容他“生来两排牙还打了洞准备长更多”,讽刺他对新工程和增产贪得无厌。他作为家族第一个孩子,姑妈们抢着当保姆,晚年常讲他幼年的机灵话。核心是:旺盛的食欲和进取心从小就有,后来变成对事业的无尽追求。这提醒我们,一个人的核心驱动力往往早年就显露,关键不是压制它,而是找到能持续吸收它的正当事业。
