安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 266
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I have tried always to hold fast to this important fact. It has been with me a cardinal doctrine that I could manage my own capital better than any other person, much better than any board of directors. The losses men encounter during a business life which seriously embarrass them are rarely in their own business, but in enterprises of which the investor is not master. My advice to young men would be not only to concentrate their whole time and attention on the one business in life in which they engage, but to put every dollar of their capital into it. If there be any business that will not bear extension, the true policy is to invest the surplus in first-class securities which will yield a moderate but certain revenue if some other growing business cannot be found. As for myself my decision was taken early. I would concentrate upon the manufacture of iron and steel and be master in that.

白话
卡内基一直守住一条:自己的钱自己管,比交给任何董事会都强。他说,生意人一生中真正让人栽跟头的亏损,很少出在本行,而是出在投资人做不了主的外面生意。所以他给年轻人的建议是:不仅要把全部时间和注意力集中在你从事的那一行,还要把每一块钱都投进去。如果本行实在扩不动,正确做法是把余钱买一流证券,求一个不高但稳当的收益;或者另找一个正在成长的新生意。他自己早就定了:专注钢铁制造,做这一行的主人。
