塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 407

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资

It may seem out of keeping to compare great producers with great commanders. Yet the manufacturer often requires as much courage, as much genius, as much organizing power, as the warrior. The one considers how he shall keep his operatives in working order; the other how he shall keep his soldiers in fighting order. Both must be men of enterprize, of boldness, of keen observation, and close attention to details. And the manufacturer, from his position, needs to be the most benevolent man of the two. Viewed in this light, we regard Sir Titus Salt not only as a Captain of Industry, but as a Field-Marshal of Industry. He has been called the Prince of Manufacturers.

白话

把大生产者和伟大统帅相比似乎不伦不类。但制造商常常需要和战士一样的勇气、天才和组织力。一个要考虑如何让工人保持工作秩序,另一个要考虑如何让士兵保持战斗状态。两者都必须有进取心、胆识、敏锐观察和对细节的密切关注。而且,制造商因地位所需,应比战士更仁慈。从这个角度看,泰特斯·索尔特爵士不仅是工业界的船长,更是工业界的元帅。他被称为制造商之王。这说明,优秀企业家需要综合能力,并承担更多社会责任。
