塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯：节俭·摘录 191
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
After three years spent at Maudslay's, Mr. Nasmyth returned to Edinburgh to construct a small stock of engineering tools suitable for starting him in business on his own account. He hired a workshop and did various engineering jobs, in order to increase his little store of money and to execute his little stock of tools. This occupied him for two years; and in 1834 he removed the whole of his tools and machinery to Manchester. He began business there in a very humble way, but it increased so rapidly that he was induced to remove to a choice piece of land on the banks of the Bridgewater Canal at Patricroft, and there make a beginning--at first in wooden sheds--of the now famous Bridgewater Foundry.

白话
在莫兹利厂干满三年后，纳史密斯回爱丁堡，造了一批适合自己开业的工程工具。他租了车间，接各种工程活，一边攒钱一边添工具。这样过了两年，1834年他把全部工具和机器搬到曼彻斯特，从很小的规模起步。生意长得很快，他于是搬到帕特里克罗夫特、布里奇沃特运河边一块好地，先搭木棚开工，这就是后来有名的布里奇沃特铸造厂。

你为独立做事所做的准备，是停留在想法上，还是已经在攒工具、接小活？
