塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 362

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资

He posted up Texts along his warehouses, so that those who ran might read. "Never despair," "Nothing without labour," "He who spends all he gets, is on the way to beggary," "Time lost cannot be regained," "Let industry, temperance, and economy be the habits of your lives." These texts were printed in large type, so that every passer-by might read them; while many were able to lay them to heart, and to practise the advices which they enjoined.

白话

巴克斯代尔把格言大字贴在仓库墙上,让路过的人都能读到,比如“别绝望”“不劳无获”“花光所有就是走向乞讨”“失去的时间找不回”“让勤勉、节制、节约成为生活习惯”。他这么做,是因为道理要反复看见才记得住,光说一次没用。今天我们可以把最重要的理财或自律原则写成大字贴在每天看得见的地方,比如手机壁纸、办公桌,让好习惯被环境不断提醒,而不是只靠一时决心。

上下文

斯迈尔斯《节俭》中记录巴克斯代尔用标语教育员工,反映19世纪英国提倡自助与节俭的风气。

今日一问

你最该每天提醒自己的一条原则是什么?把它放在哪里最有效?
