P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 97
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
While engaged in this business I once more leased Vauxhall saloon, opening it June 14th, 1841, employing Mr. John Hallett, my brother-in-law, as manager under my direction, and at the close of the season, September 25th, we had cleared about two hundred dollars. This sum was soon exhausted, and with my family on my hands and no employment I was glad to do anything that would keep the wolf from the door. I wrote advertisements and notices for the Bowery Amphitheatre, receiving for the service four dollars a week, which I was very glad to get, and I also wrote articles for the Sunday papers, deriving a fair remuneration and managing to get a living. But I was at the bottom round of fortune’s ladder, and it was necessary to make an effort which would raise me above want.

白话
巴纳姆又租下沃克斯霍尔沙龙,1841年6月14日开业,让姐夫哈利特当经理,到9月25日季末只赚了约两百美元,很快花光。一家人要养,又没工作,他什么活都接:给鲍厄里圆形剧场写广告和稿子,一周四美元也乐意;还给周日报纸写文章,勉强糊口。但他知道自己已经在命运梯子的最底层,必须想办法爬上去。核心是:低谷时先接住任何能糊口的事,同时心里清楚这只是跳板,不是终点。
上下文
巴纳姆在自传中讲述1841年经营沙龙失败后,靠写广告和文章维持生计的低谷时期。
今日一问
你现在做的糊口工作,有没有同时为下一步积累技能或人脉?
