华莱士·沃特尔斯《致富的科学》· The Science of Getting Rich · 投资
A student of this science had set his mind on making a certain business combination which seemed to him at the time to be very desirable, and he worked for some weeks to bring it about. When the crucial time came, the thing failed in a perfectly inexplicable way; it was as if some unseen influence had been working secretly against him. He was not disappointed; on the contrary, he thanked God that his desire had been overruled, and went steadily on with a grateful mind. In a few weeks an opportunity so much better came his way that he would not have made the first deal on any account; and he saw that a Mind which knew more than he knew had prevented him from losing the greater good by entangling himself with the lesser.

白话
有个学这套方法的人,一心想促成某笔生意合作,当时觉得特别划算,花了好几周去推动。到了关键节点,事情却以完全说不通的方式黄了,好像有股看不见的力量在暗中跟他作对。他并不失望,反而感谢上天没让他的愿望得逞,带着感恩的心继续往前走。几周后,一个好得多的机会来了,好到他无论如何都不会再去做当初那笔交易;他这才明白,有一个比他懂得更多的智慧,拦住了他,免得他为了小利把自己缠住,丢掉更大的好处。
