安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Such a course should commend itself to every man in the manufacturing business and to all professional men. For the manufacturing man especially the rule would seem all-important. His mind must be kept calm and free if he is to decide wisely the problems which are continually coming before him. Nothing tells in the long run like good judgment, and no sound judgment can remain with the man whose mind is disturbed by the mercurial changes of the Stock Exchange. It places him under an influence akin to intoxication. What is not, he sees, and what he sees, is not. He cannot judge of relative values or get the true perspective of things. The molehill seems to him a mountain and the mountain a molehill, and he jumps at conclusions which he should arrive at by reason. His mind is upon the stock quotations and not upon the points that require calm thought. Speculation is a parasite feeding upon values, creating none.

白话
卡内基认为,做制造业和做专业工作的人,都该远离股市投机。因为人要保持头脑冷静、自由,才能对不断出现的问题做出明智判断。长期来看,靠的是好判断力;而股市涨跌无常,会把人的心搅乱,像喝醉一样,让人看错大小轻重,把土丘当高山、把高山当土丘,凭冲动下结论。心思全在报价上,就没法冷静思考真正要紧的事。他的结论是:投机不创造价值,只是寄生在价值上。可执行的做法是:把注意力从行情转向需要静心思考的业务问题。
