P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 520
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
DO NOT SCATTER YOUR POWERS.--Engage in one kind of business only, and stick to it faithfully until you succeed, or until your experience shows that you should abandon it. A constant hammering on one nail will generally drive it home at last, so that it can be clinched. When a man’s undivided attention is centred on one object, his mind will constantly be suggesting improvements of value, which would escape him if his brain was occupied by a dozen different subjects at once. Many a fortune has slipped through a man’s fingers because he was engaging in too many occupations at a time. There is good sense in the old caution against having too many irons in the fire at once.

白话
别分散精力。只做一行，坚持到成功，或者直到经验告诉你该放弃。一直锤一个钉子，通常最后能钉进去并敲弯固定。当一个人全神贯注于一个目标，脑子会不断冒出有价值的改进；如果同时想十几件事，这些点子就溜走了。很多人因为同时干太多行当，让财富从指缝溜走。老话说“火里别放太多铁”，很有道理。核心是：专注才能深入，深入才有改进和积累。做法是：选定一个方向，设定评估节点，在节点前不轻易换道。
