P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 22

P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

Leaving Mr. Weed, I went to Grassy Plain, a mile northwest of Bethel, and secured a situation as clerk in the store of James S. Keeler & Lewis Whitlock at six dollars a month and my board. I lived with Mrs. Jerusha Wheeler and her daughters, Jerusha and Mary, and found an excellent home. I chose my uncle, Alanson Taylor, as my guardian. I did my best to please my employers and soon gained their confidence and esteem and was regarded by them as an active clerk and a ‘cute trader. They afforded me many facilities for making money on my own account and I soon entered upon sundry speculations and succeeded in getting a small sum of money ahead.

白话

巴纳姆离开韦德先生后,到贝瑟尔西北一英里的格拉西普莱恩,在凯勒和惠特洛克合开的商店当店员,月薪六美元包吃住。他住在惠勒太太家,觉得像家一样。他选叔叔泰勒当监护人。他尽力让老板满意,很快赢得信任,被看作勤快店员和精明生意人。老板给他很多自己赚钱的便利,他很快开始各种小投机,攒下一小笔钱。核心是:先做好本职工作赢得信任,再借平台试水自己的小生意。做法是勤快、可靠、主动,利用现有资源小步试错。

上下文

巴纳姆在父亲去世后不久,离开家乡到附近小镇的商店做学徒店员,开始独立谋生。

今日一问

你现在的本职工作做到让老板放心把额外机会交给你了吗?
