塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导
His business as a land-measurer called him away for a brief season from the pursuit of his experiments. In conformity with an edict of the State, it became necessary to survey the salt-marshes in the neighbourhood of Saintes for the purpose of levying the land-tax. Palissy was employed to make this survey, and prepare the requisite map. The work occupied him some time, and he was doubtless well paid for it; but no sooner was it completed than he proceeded, with redoubled zeal, to follow up his old investigations “in the track of the enamels.” He began by breaking three dozen new earthen pots, the pieces of which he covered with different materials which he had compounded, and then took them to a neighbouring glass-furnace to be baked. The results gave him a glimmer of hope. The greater heat of the glass-furnace had melted some of the compounds; but though Palissy searched diligently for the white enamel he could find none.

白话
帕利西的土地测量工作让他暂时离开实验。根据国家法令，必须测量圣特附近的盐沼以征收土地税。帕利西受雇进行测量并绘制地图。这项工作花了不少时间，报酬无疑不错。但一完成，他就加倍热情地继续“追踪釉料”的老调查。他先打破三打新陶罐，把碎片涂上不同配方的材料，然后送到附近的玻璃炉去烧。结果给了他一线希望：玻璃炉更高的温度熔化了一些混合物，但尽管他仔细寻找白色釉料，却找不到。
上下文
斯迈尔斯《自助》中，帕利西靠土地测量赚了钱，立刻又投入釉料实验。
今日一问
当你有一笔额外收入时，你会像帕利西那样投入自己的目标，还是用于其他消费？
