塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 326
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
In 1854, Mr. Sikes published his excellent pamphlet on "Good Times, or the Savings Bank and the Fireside," to which we have already referred. The success which it met with induced him to give his attention to the subject of savings banks generally. He was surprised to find that they were so utterly inadequate to meet the requirements of the country. He sought an interview with Sir Cornewall Lewis, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, and brought the subject under his consideration. The Chancellor requested Mr. Sikes to embody his views in a letter, and in the course of a few months there appeared a pamphlet addressed to Sir Cornewall Lewis, entitled "Savings Banks Reforms." Mr. Sikes insisted on the Government guarantee being given for deposits made in Savings Banks; but this was refused.

白话
1854年,西克斯先生出版了一本小册子《好时光,或储蓄银行与炉边》,很受欢迎。他由此关注储蓄银行,发现现有机构远远满足不了全国需求。他去找当时的财政大臣科恩沃尔·刘易斯爵士,陈述想法。大臣让他写成信,几个月后他呈上《储蓄银行改革》小册子,坚持要求政府为储蓄存款提供担保,但被拒绝了。这里的关键是:发现问题后要找到能拍板的人,用书面材料把方案讲清楚;同时也要预料到,合理的诉求未必一次就能被接受,得准备换条路继续推动。
