P.T. 巴纳姆《赚钱的艺术》· The Art of Money Getting · 投资
Unless a man enters upon the vocation intended for him by nature, and best suited to his peculiar genius, he cannot succeed. I am glad to believe that the majority of persons do find their right vocation. Yet we see many who have mistaken their calling, from the blacksmith up (or down) to the clergyman. You will see, for instance, that extraordinary linguist the "learned blacksmith," who ought to have been a teacher of languages; and you may have seen lawyers, doctors and clergymen who were better fitted by nature for the anvil or the lapstone.

白话
一个人如果没进入天生适合、最能发挥自己特长的行当,就很难真正成功。巴纳姆说,多数人其实能找到合适的位置,但我们也常看到入错行的人,从铁匠到牧师都有。比如有位“博学的铁匠”,语言天赋极高,本该去教语言;也有些律师、医生、牧师,天性更适合打铁或做鞋。这说明职业错配很常见,后果是个人才华被埋没,干得辛苦却不出彩。要避免这种情况,就得认真认识自己的长处和兴趣,别只被收入、面子或家庭压力牵着走。选对行当,努力才容易见效。

巴纳姆在《赚钱的艺术》中强调职业匹配的重要性,用“博学的铁匠”等例子说明错配的普遍。
今日一问
你身边有没有“入错行”的人?你自己有没有被放错位置的可能?
