向前进·摘录 465 · 奥里森·斯威特·马登

"A singular mischance has happened to some of our friends," said Hamilton. "At the instant when He ushered them into existence, God gave them a work to do, and He also gave them a competence of time; so much that if they began at the right moment, and wrought with sufficient vigor, their time and their work would end together. But a good many years ago a strange misfortune befell them. A fragment of their allotted time was lost. They cannot tell what became of it, but sure enough, it has dropped out of existence; for just like two measuring-lines laid alongside, the one an inch shorter than the other, their work and their time run parallel, but the work is always ten minutes in advance of the time. They are not irregular. They are never too soon. Their letters are posted the very minute after the mail is closed. They arrive at the wharf just in time to see the steamboat off, they come in sight of the terminus precisely as the station gates are closing. They do not break any engagement or neglect any duty; but they systematically go about it too late, and usually too late by about the same fatal interval."

白话

汉密尔顿说，我们有些朋友遭遇了一种奇怪的倒霉事：上帝赐给他们一份工作，也给了他们足够的时间，只要准时开始、用力去做，时间和工作本该同时结束。但很多年前出了一桩怪事，他们被分配的时间丢了一小片，找不到了，就像两条并排的尺子，一条短了一寸，他们的工作和时间平行前进，工作却总比时间早十分钟。他们并不违规，也从不早到，信总是在邮局关门后一分钟才寄出，到码头正好看见船开走，赶到车站正好看见闸门关上。他们不毁约、不失职，却系统性地晚一步，而且总是晚那同样要命的十分钟。

马登借汉密尔顿之口讽刺一种“永远差十分钟”的慢性迟到者。

若包占頃畝未悉開耕，詔下之日期以二年，不能遍耕者，拘作營田。其增稅划佃之令勿行。」淳熙六年，提舉茶鹽顏師魯請「墾閒田者止以實田起稅」，從之。又罷諸路上種麥頃畝之數。按《宋史孝宗本紀》不載按《食貨志》：六年五月，提舉浙西常平茶鹽顏師魯奏：「設勸課之法，欲重農桑、廣種植也。今鄉民於己田連接閒曠磽确之地墾成田園，用力甚勤，或以未陳起稅為人所訟，即以盜耕罪之，何以勸力田哉？止宜實田起稅，非特可戢告訐之風，亦見盛世重農之意。」詔可。十有一月，臣…

淳熙六年，提举茶盐颜师鲁请求：开垦闲田的人只按实际耕种的田亩起税。他说劝课之法本为重农桑、广种植。现在乡民在自家田边连接闲旷瘠薄之地垦成田园，用力很勤，却因未申报起税被人告发，按盗耕治罪，这怎么鼓励种田？只按实田起税，既能止住告讦之风，也体现盛世重农之意。朝廷同意。十一月，臣僚奏：各路帅漕督促守令劝民种麦，每年上报增种亩数。

事业 · 保罗·格雷厄姆《《如何独立思考》》

To go beyond this general advice, we need to look at the internal structure of independent-mindedness — at the individual muscles we need to exercise, as it were. It seems to me that it has three components:…

要真正练出独立思考，得拆开看它由哪几块“肌肉”组成。作者认为有三部分：对真相的讲究、不被别人牵着走的倔强、以及好奇心。先说对真相的讲究，它不只是不信假话，更是对“你有多相信”这件事很较真。多数人对相信的程度不加审视，直接冲到两头：觉得不太可能的事就当成绝不可能，觉得大概率的事就当成板上钉钉。练习方法是：每次下判断时，给信念标个程度，比如“我七成相信”，并想想什么证据会让这个数变动。
