P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 432

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

We were now living in a very frugal manner in a hired furnished house in Eighth Street, near Sixth Avenue, in New York, and our landlady and her family boarded with us. At the age of forty-six, after the acquisition and the loss of a handsome fortune, I was once more nearly at the bottom of the ladder, and was about to begin the world again. The situation was disheartening, but I had energy, experience, health and hope.

白话

巴纳姆一家租住在纽约第八街靠近第六大道的一栋带家具的房子里,房东一家还和他们合住,生活非常节俭。46岁的他,曾经拥有巨额财富又全部失去,几乎又回到了起点,准备重新开始。他说,这种处境让人沮丧,但他还有精力、经验、健康和希望。这句话的核心是:失败后真正能依靠的,不是钱,而是那些别人拿不走的东西——身体、阅历、心态。对今天的人来说,如果遭遇重大挫折,先别急着否定自己,清点一下你还有哪些资本,尤其是健康和经验,这些才是翻身的本钱。

上下文
