华莱士·沃特尔斯《致富的科学》· The Science of Getting Rich · 投资
At different periods the tide of opportunity sets in different directions, according to the needs of the Whole, and the particular stage of social evolution which has been reached. At present, in America, it is setting toward agriculture and the allied industries and professions. To-day, opportunity is open before the farmer in his line more than before the factory worker in his line. It is open before the business man who supplies the farmer more than before the one who supplies the factory worker; and before the professional man who waits upon the farmer more than before the one who serves the working class.

白话
机会的潮水在不同时期流向不同方向，取决于整体需要和社会发展到哪一阶段。当时美国的机会正涌向农业及相关行业和职业。也就是说，农民在本行比工厂工人更有机会；服务农民的商人比服务工厂工人的商人更有机会；为农民服务的专业人士也比服务工人阶级的更有机会。想致富，就要看清社会需求的大势，把精力放到正在上升的领域，而不是逆着潮水硬拼。
上下文
沃特尔斯观察20世纪初美国社会，认为机会正从工业转向农业及相关服务业。
