塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 162

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资

And he was right. For the man who, after satisfying his wants, has something to spare, is no longer poor. It is certain that from that day Stephenson never looked back; his advance as a self-improving man was as steady as the light of sunrise. A person of large experience has indeed stated that he never knew, amongst working people, a single instance of a man having out of his small earnings laid by a pound, who had in the end become a pauper.

白话

他说得对。因为一个人在满足需求后还有剩余,就不再是穷人了。可以肯定,从那天起斯蒂芬森再也没有倒退;他作为自我提升者的进步像日出一样稳定。一位经验丰富的人确实说过,在劳动阶层中,他从未见过一个从微薄收入中存下一英镑的人最终沦为贫民。

上下文

斯迈尔斯在《节俭》中总结斯蒂芬森的故事,指出储蓄习惯能防止贫困,并引用经验之谈佐证。

今日一问

我是否相信,即使收入微薄,只要坚持储蓄,就能避免陷入贫困并稳步改善生活?
