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

I was born in the blue-law State of Connecticut, where the old Puritans had laws so rigid that it was said, "they fined a man for kissing his wife on Sunday." Yet these rich old Puritans would have thousands of dollars at interest, and on Saturday night would be worth a certain amount; on Sunday they would go to church and perform all the duties of a Christian. On waking up on Monday morning, they would find themselves considerably richer than the Saturday night previous, simply because their money placed at interest had worked faithfully for them all day Sunday, according to law!

白话

我出生在康涅狄格州,那个有“蓝色法律”的州,老清教徒的法律极其严格,据说“他们在星期天吻妻子会被罚款”。然而这些富有的老清教徒会把数千美元放贷收息,周六晚上值一定金额;周日他们去教堂履行基督徒职责。周一早上醒来,他们发现自己比周六晚上富了不少,仅仅因为他们的钱按法律在周日一整天忠实地为他们工作!核心是:让钱生钱可以全天候进行,甚至在你休息或做礼拜时。原因在于利息按时间累积。做法:建立能产生被动收入的资产,让财富在你不工作时也增长。
