安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

The change from hand-loom to steam-loom weaving was disastrous to our family. My father did not recognize the impending revolution, and was struggling under the old system. His looms sank greatly in value, and it became necessary for that power which never failed in any emergency--my mother--to step forward and endeavor to repair the family fortune. She opened a small shop in Moodie Street and contributed to the revenues which, though slender, nevertheless at that time sufficed to keep us in comfort and "respectable."

白话

从手工织布到蒸汽织布的转变,对我们家是灾难性的。父亲没有意识到这场即将到来的革命,还在旧体系下苦苦挣扎。他的织布机大幅贬值,于是那个在任何紧急关头都靠得住的力量——我母亲——不得不站出来,设法重振家业。她在穆迪街开了一家小店,为家庭收入做出贡献;虽然微薄,但在当时足以让我们维持舒适和“体面”。核心是:面对技术变革,固守旧法会被淘汰,而灵活转向、从小处着手是生存之道。今天遇到行业变化,要主动学习新工具,别等旧技能贬值;同时,家庭中谁有能力谁就上,不必拘泥角色。
