P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 256

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

The plot of ground upon which Iranistan was erected, was at the date of my purchase, in March 1846, a bare field. But I transplanted many hundreds of fruit and forest trees, some of the latter of very large growth when they were moved, and thus in a few years my premises were adorned with what, in the ordinary process of growth, would have required a whole generation. I have never waited for my trees to grow, if money would transplant them of nearly full growth at the start.

白话

巴纳姆买下那块地时只是一片空地,但他没有等树苗慢慢长大,而是花钱移植了几百棵成年的果树和森林树,几年内就拥有了别人需要一代人才能长成的景观。他的原则是:如果钱能买到接近成材的树,就绝不等待自然生长。这体现了一种加速思维——用资源换取时间,把长期才能实现的结果提前。可执行的做法是,在关键目标上识别哪些环节可以“移植”现成资源,比如购买成熟技术、聘请有经验的人,而不是一切从头摸索。
