P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 28
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Situated as I was, and well treated as I was by my employer, who manifested great interest in me, still I was dissatisfied. A salary was not sufficient for me. My disposition was of that speculative character which refused to be satisfied unless I was engaged in some business where my profits might be enhanced, or, at least, made to depend upon my energy, perseverance, attention to business, tact, and “calculation.” Accordingly, as I had no opportunity to speculate on my own account, I became uneasy, and, young as I was, I began to talk of setting up for myself; for, although I had no capital, several men of means had offered to furnish the money and join me in business. I was in that uneasy, transitory state between boyhood and manhood when I had unbounded confidence in my own abilities, and yet needed a discreet counsellor, adviser and friend.

白话
巴纳姆虽然受老板善待,却仍不满足。他觉得固定薪水不够,因为他天性喜欢投机,希望收入能随自己的精力、毅力、专注、手腕和算计而增长。既然没机会自己投机,他就开始不安分,年纪轻轻就嚷着要自立门户。虽然没本钱,但有几个有钱人愿意出钱和他合伙。他正处在男孩到男人的过渡期,对自己能力信心爆棚,却又需要一个谨慎的顾问和朋友。核心是:有创业冲动时,既要自信,也要找对导师。做法是:承认自己需要经验丰富的人指点,别单凭一腔热血就冲。

巴纳姆在自传中回忆自己年轻时不甘于拿死工资、想创业的心态。
