奋斗与胜利·补录 246 · P.T. 巴纳姆

One of my main objects in returning home at this time, was to obtain a longer lease of the premises occupied by the American Museum. My lease had still three years to run, but Mr. Olmsted, the proprietor of the building, was dead, and I was anxious to make provision in time for the perpetuity of my establishment, for I meant to make the Museum a permanent institution in the city, and if I could not renew my lease, I intended to build an appropriate edifice on Broadway. I finally succeeded, however, in getting the lease of the entire building, covering fifty-six feet by one hundred, for twenty-five years, at an annual rent of $10,000 and the ordinary taxes and assessments. I had already hired in addition the upper stories of three adjoining buildings. My Museum receipts were more in one day, than they formerly were in an entire week, and the establishment had become so popular that it was thronged at all hours from early morning to closing time at night.

巴纳姆回美国的主要目的是续租美国博物馆，因为原租约只剩三年，房东去世，他担心无法续约，甚至打算自建场馆。最终他成功签下整栋楼25年租约，年租金1万美元加税费。此时博物馆人气爆棚，一天收入超过过去一周。这说明：为长期事业提前锁定关键资源，能避免被动，并支撑规模化增长。

健康 · 塞内卡《塞内卡道德书简》

It is a kind of spiteful comfort, that whoever does me an injury may receive one; and that there is a power over him that is above me. A man should stand as firm against all indignities as a rock does against the waves.…

有一种带恶意的安慰：伤害我的人也可能被伤害，他上面还有更高的力量。人应像岩石面对海浪一样坚定。地位低的人想到高位也不安全，就像在角落失去儿子，看到皇宫也办丧事，心里会好受些；受小人物侮辱时，想到大人物和大财富也不能幸免，就更能忍受。最智慧的人也有缺点，没人没有同样的借口。区别只是我们犯错方式不同，但人性要求我们互相容忍。核心是：想到人人都会犯错、无人豁免，就能更宽容。做法是：受冒犯时提醒自己“换作我也可能这样”。

投资 · 陈梦雷等（编）《钦定古今图书集成·食货典》

四時易次，寒暑失常，治民然也。故天生萬物之時，聖人命之曰春；春不生遂者，故天不重為春。春者，夏之父也。故春生之，夏長之，秋成而殺之，冬受而藏之。春肅而不生者，王德不究也；夏寒而不長者，臣下不奉主命也；秋順而復榮者，百官刑不斷也；冬溫而泄者，發府庫賞無功也。此所謂四時者，邦之禁也。」越王曰：「寒暑不時，治在於人可知也。願聞歲之美惡，穀之貴賤，何以紀之？」范子曰：「夫陰陽錯繆，即為惡歲，人主失治，即為亂世。夫一亂一治，天道自然。八穀亦一賤…

核心是：四季失常、寒暑错乱，是治理百姓不当所致。春天万物生发，圣王命名为春；春不生长，天不再给春。春生夏长秋成冬藏，若春寒不生，是王德不究；夏寒不长，是臣不奉主命；秋再荣，是刑断不决；冬温泄，是赏无功。这四时是国家的禁律。越王问：寒暑不时，治在人可知；那年景好坏、谷价贵贱如何记录？范子答：阴阳错乱就是恶岁，人主失治就是乱世。一乱一治是天道自然，八谷也是一贱一贵，极则反。

事业 · 爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》

Bok had already learned, in his editorial experience, carefully to weigh a woman's instinct against a man's judgment, but the idea of raising babies by mail floored him. He reasoned, however, that a woman, and more…

博克在编辑经验中早已学会仔细权衡女性的直觉和男性的判断，但“邮寄育儿”的想法还是让他大吃一惊。不过他想，一位女性，尤其是在婴儿医院工作多年的人，对婴儿的了解肯定比他多得多。他咨询了纽约和费城的婴儿专家，他们一致认为这个计划不仅完全不切实际，而且极其危险。然而，博克对女性直觉的信心依然坚定，他请库利奇医生制定一个计划。
