P.T. 巴纳姆:赚钱的艺术·摘录 48

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

So with the young man starting in business; let him understand the value of money by earning it. When he does understand its value, then grease the wheels a little in helping him to start business, but remember, men who get money with too great facility cannot usually succeed. You must get the first dollars by hard knocks, and at some sacrifice, in order to appreciate the value of those dollars.

白话

对刚起步的年轻人也一样:先让他自己挣钱,才懂钱的分量。等他真懂了,再稍微帮一把,助他开业。但记住,钱来得太容易的人,通常难成事。头一块钱必须靠硬碰硬、付出代价挣来,他才会珍惜后来的每一块钱。这不是故意刁难,而是让他在吃苦中建立对成本、风险和回报的直觉。直接给足启动资金,往往养出轻率花钱、轻率冒险的习惯。

上下文

巴纳姆在《赚钱的艺术》中谈如何帮助年轻人创业,强调先吃苦再扶持。

今日一问

如果你想帮一个年轻人起步,是直接给钱,还是先让他自己挣到第一笔?
