P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 427

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

I regret, beyond expression, that any man should be a loser for having trusted to my name; it would not have been so, if I had not myself been deceived. As it is, I am gratified in knowing that all my individual obligations will be met. It would have been much better if clock creditors had accepted the best offer that it was in my power to make them; but it was not so to be. It is now too late, and as I willingly give up all I possess, I can do no more.

白话

巴纳姆说,他非常遗憾有人因为信任他的名声而吃亏;要不是他自己也受了骗,本不会这样。好在所有他个人的债务都会还清,这让他欣慰。他觉得,如果债主们当初接受他力所能及的最好方案,情况会好得多,但事与愿违。现在太晚了,他愿意交出所有财产,也只能做到这一步。核心是:信任被辜负最让人难受;面对债务,要坦诚认账、尽力偿还,同时也要接受有些事已无法挽回。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中讲述自己因钟表公司牵连而破产,债主们拒绝了他的还款方案。

今日一问

如果你欠了别人或辜负了别人的信任,你打算怎样坦诚面对并尽力弥补?
