"I have because I always felt you had it in you to make a successful man. But not in that business," he added quickly. "You were born for the Street.

白话

古尔德承认博克成功,但立刻强调“不是在这行”。他坚持认为博克天生适合华尔街,在那里能走多远就走多远,而出版业空间有限。他甚至说现在转行也不晚,并用锐利的目光盯着博克。这反映出:人容易把自己的成功路径当成唯一正解,并热心地劝别人复制。面对这类建议,要分辨它是基于对你的了解,还是基于对方自己的经验投射。尊重对方的好意,但职业方向终究要由自己的兴趣、能力和市场来验证。

上下文

古尔德在自家宅邸与博克单独交谈,仍以华尔街成功者的视角评价博克的职业选择。
