P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 548

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

I need not dwell upon the details of what I suffered from the doings of those heartless, unscrupulous men who fatten upon the misfortunes of others. It is enough to say that I triumphed over them and all my troubles. I was once more a free man. At last I was able to make proclamation that “Richard’s himself again”; that Barnum was once more on his feet. The Museum had not flourished greatly in the hands of Messrs. Greenwood & Butler, and so, when I was free, I was quite willing to take back the property upon terms that were entirely satisfactory to them. I had once retired from the establishment a man of independent fortune; I was now ready to return, to make, if possible, another fortune.

白话

巴纳姆说,那些靠别人倒霉发财的冷血无赖让他吃了不少苦,但细节不必多讲。重要的是他挺过来了,重新成为自由人,能宣布“理查德又回来了”,巴纳姆重新站起来了。博物馆在格林伍德和巴特勒手里没怎么兴旺,所以他自由后很愿意以对方满意的条件把产业收回来。他上次退出时已是财务自由的人,现在准备回来再赚一笔。核心是:被坑后别沉溺于抱怨,要聚焦夺回主动权;条件谈得双方满意,才能顺利拿回资产。做法是:先恢复自由身,再评估对方经营状况,用对方能接受的条件成交,然后重新出发。

上下文

巴纳姆是美国19世纪著名马戏团老板,这是他自传《奋斗与胜利》中回忆自己破产后夺回博物馆的经历。

今日一问

当你被不靠谱的人坑过之后,你是花时间怨恨,还是像巴纳姆一样先恢复自由身、再谈条件拿回属于自己的东西?
