塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
Nasmyth was now twenty years old, and wished to turn his practical faculties to account. His object was to find employment in one of the great engineering establishments of the day. The first, in his opinion, was that of Henry Maudslay, of London. To attain his object, he made a small steam-engine, every part of which was his own handiwork, including the casting and forging. He proceeded to London; introduced himself to the great engineer; submitted his drawings; showed his models; and was finally engaged as Mr. Maudslay's private workman.

白话
纳史密斯二十岁时,想靠自己的动手能力谋生。他瞄准当时最好的工程企业——伦敦的亨利·莫兹利厂。为了被录用,他亲手造了一台小蒸汽机,连铸件和锻件都自己做。然后他带着图纸和模型去伦敦,直接找到莫兹利本人展示。莫兹利看到他的真本事,就雇他做私人技工。这说明:想进好平台,先做出能证明自己的实物,比空口求职有力得多。
