塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 370
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
His arduous labours in connection with his own business, as well as with railway extension, having thrown him into ill-health, he went abroad for repose. While absent, a faction was got up in Liverpool for the purpose of appointing another chairman in his stead; and though he was unseated by a trick, he himself accepted his dismissal with pleasure. His sons were now able to help him in the conduct of his business, though he continued to the close of his life to take an interest in everything that was going on. He was never weary of well-doing; he never rested in giving his good advice, the results of his large experience, to the assistants, clerks, and working men employed in his various offices. We conclude our brief notice of his life by giving another of his "Run-and-Read Sermons," which he distributed plentifully among his _employés_, and had affixed in various portions of his warehouses. It was entitled "Good Maxims and Advice."

白话
他因自家生意和铁路扩张的繁重工作累坏了身体,出国休养。他不在时,利物浦有人拉帮结派想另选董事长取代他;他虽被手段拉下位,却欣然接受。此时儿子们已能帮他打理生意,但他直到去世仍关心一切事务。他从不厌倦做好事,总把多年经验化成忠告,讲给办公室的助手、职员和工人听。作者最后附上他散发的“边走边读布道文”,题为《良言与忠告》。核心是:把经验变成可传播的短句,持续影响身边人;同时接受权力更替,不恋栈。
