华莱士·沃特尔斯《致富的科学》· The Science of Getting Rich · 投资
It is quite true that if you are a workman in the employ of the steel trust you have very little chance of becoming the owner of the plant in which you work; but it is also true that if you will commence to act in a Certain Way, you can soon leave the employ of the steel trust; you can buy a farm of from ten to forty acres, and engage in business as a producer of foodstuffs. There is great opportunity at this time for men who will live upon small tracts of land and cultivate the same intensively; such men will certainly get rich. You may say that it is impossible for you to get the land, but I am going to prove to you that it is not impossible, and that you can certainly get a farm if you will go to work in a Certain Way.

白话
如果你在钢铁托拉斯当工人，确实很难变成工厂主人，但你可以按“特定方式”行动，很快离开那里，买十到四十英亩地，做食品生产。现在精耕小片土地的人机会很大，肯定能致富。你也许说买不起地，但作者要证明并非不可能：只要按正确方式去干，你就能得到农场。核心是别死守没上升空间的岗位，把目光转向能自己掌控、需求又旺的领域，从小规模开始经营。
上下文
