塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 332

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资

Neglect of small things is the rock on which the great majority of the human race have split. Human life consists of a succession of small events, each of which is comparatively unimportant, and yet the happiness and success of every man depends upon the manner in which these small events are dealt with. Character is built up on little things,--little things well and honourably transacted. The success of a man in business depends on his attention to little things. The comfort of a household is the result of small things well arranged and duly provided for. Good government can only be accomplished in the same way,--by well-regulated provisions for the doing of little things.

白话

忽视小事是大多数人失败的根源。人生由一连串小事件组成,每个事件本身相对不重要,但每个人的幸福和成功取决于如何处理这些小事。品格建立在点滴小事上——把小事做好、做得体面。生意上的成功取决于对细节的关注。家庭的舒适来自对小事的妥善安排和供给。良好的政府也是如此——通过规范地做好小事来实现。所以,不要轻视日常琐碎,正是这些小事累积成大事。

上下文

斯迈尔斯在《节俭》中强调小事的重要性,反映维多利亚时代注重细节和自律的价值观。
