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

Among the maxims of the elder Rothschild was one, all apparent paradox: "Be cautious and bold." This seems to be a contradiction in terms, but it is not, and there is great wisdom in the maxim. It is, in fact, a condensed statement of what I have already said. It is to say; "you must exercise your caution in laying your plans, but be bold in carrying them out." A man who is all caution, will never dare to take hold and be successful; and a man who is all boldness, is merely reckless, and must eventually fail. A man may go on "'change" and make fifty, or one hundred thousand dollars in speculating in stocks, at a single operation. But if he has simple boldness without caution, it is mere chance, and what he gains to-day he will lose to-morrow. You must have both the caution and the boldness, to insure success.

白话

老罗斯柴尔德有句格言看似矛盾:“谨慎而大胆。”其实不矛盾:做计划时要谨慎,把风险、成本、退路都想清楚;执行时则要果断大胆,看准了就下手。只会谨慎的人永远不敢行动,成不了事;只会大胆的人是莽撞,早晚失败。有人靠一次股票投机赚几万几十万,但若只有胆量没有谨慎,那只是碰运气,今天赚的明天就赔回去。两者兼备,成功才有保障。

上下文

巴纳姆引用罗斯柴尔德家族的经商格言,说明计划与执行需要不同的态度。

今日一问

你最近一个决定,是计划时太冲动,还是执行时太犹豫?
