P.T. 巴纳姆:赚钱的艺术·摘录 12

P.T. 巴纳姆《赚钱的艺术》· The Art of Money Getting · 投资

He accepted my offer and remained two years in my New York Museum. He then went to New Orleans and carried on a traveling show business during the summer. To-day he is worth sixty thousand dollars, simply because he selected the right vocation and also secured the proper location. The old proverb says, "Three removes are as bad as a fire," but when a man is in the fire, it matters but little how soon or how often he removes.

白话

巴纳姆讲了一个人:接受他的邀请,在纽约博物馆干了两年,后来去新奥尔良夏天做巡回演出,如今身价六万美元。成功原因就两条:选对了行当,也选对了地方。老话说“搬三次家等于遭一次火灾”,意思是频繁搬迁损失大;但巴纳姆补了一句:如果人已经身处“火”中,也就是处境糟糕,那搬得越早、越勤反而越好。所以关键不是死守“别乱动”的教条,而是判断自己是不是在火里:是,就果断换地方;不是,就别瞎折腾。

上下文

巴纳姆在《赚钱的艺术》中用身边人的经历说明择业和选址的重要,并重新解释“搬家如失火”的谚语。

今日一问

你现在是“在火里”需要果断换环境,还是只是心浮气躁想乱动?
