安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 223
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I have never bought or sold a share of stock speculatively in my life, except one small lot of Pennsylvania Railroad shares that I bought early in life for investment and for which I did not pay at the time because bankers offered to carry it for me at a low rate. I have adhered to the rule never to purchase what I did not pay for, and never to sell what I did not own. In those early days, however, I had several interests that were taken over in the course of business. They included some stocks and securities that were quoted on the New York Stock Exchange, and I found that when I opened my paper in the morning I was tempted to look first at the quotations of the stock market. As I had determined to sell all my interests in every outside concern and concentrate my attention upon our manufacturing concerns in Pittsburgh, I further resolved not even to own any stock that was bought and sold upon any stock exchange. With the exception of trifling amounts which came to me in various ways I have adhered strictly to this rule.

白话
卡内基给自己定下两条铁律:不买自己付不起钱的东西,不卖自己没拥有的东西。他早年买过一点股票,是当投资,而且当时没付全款,靠银行低息垫着。后来他决定卖掉所有外围生意,专心做匹兹堡的制造业,于是进一步规定:凡是能在交易所买卖的股票,他干脆一股都不持有。除了零星得来的少量股份,他一直严格照办。核心意思是:别让投机性资产占住你的心思,专注主业。做法就是主动切断诱惑源,把可能分散注意力的投资清掉。
