塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 454
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
John Crossley, the founder of the firm, has observed, that in the course of his life he was a keen observer of men and things. He says he noticed many of the failures of his neighbours in bringing up their children. Some fathers were so strict with their children, keeping them so constantly at home, and letting them see so little of the world in which they lived, that when the fathers died and the children were removed from all restraint, they came forth into the world like calves, and found everything entirely different from what they expected. Such unguided young persons, Mr. Crossley found, soon became wild, lost, and ruined. Then he observed the opposite extreme,--where the fathers indulged their children so much, that they became quite unfitted to endure the hardships of the world,--and, like a vessel that is sent to sea without a helm, they soon became stranded on the shores of life.

白话
公司创始人约翰·克罗斯利说,他一生仔细观察人和事,注意到邻居们教养孩子常犯的错。有的父亲太严,把孩子整天关在家里,不让他们见世面;等父亲一死,孩子没了约束,像小牛犊冲进世界,发现一切跟想的不一样,很快放荡、迷失、毁掉。他也看到另一极端:父亲太溺爱,孩子吃不了苦,像没舵的船出海,很快在人生岸边搁浅。他的结论是:管得太死和放得太松,都会害了孩子。

今日一问
你对孩子(或下属)是管得太紧还是放得太松?有没有一个中间地带可以试?
