第58章 智慧人生(5)

BThe concerns which fail are those which have scattered their capital, which means that they have scattered their brains also. They have investments in this, or that, or the other, here there, and everywhere.“Don"t put all your eggs in one basket.”is all wrong.I tell you to“put all your eggs in one basket, and then watch that basket.”Look round you and take notice, men who do that not often fail.It is easy to watch and carry the one basket.It is trying to carry too many baskets that break most eggs in this country.CHe who carries three baskets must put one on his head, which is apt to tumble and trip him up.One fault of the American businessman is lack of concentration.

To summarize what I have said:aim for the highest;never enter a bar room;do not touch liquor, or if at all only at meals;never speculate;never indorse beyond your surplus cash fund;make the firm"s interest yours;break orders always to save owners;concentrate;put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket;expenditure always within revenue;lastly, be not impatient, for as Emerson says,“no one can cheat you out of ultimate success but yourselves.”

好英文娓娓动听Words and Expressions

I"ve always been an optimist and AI supposed that is rooted in my belief that the power of creativity and intelligence can make the world a better place.

For as long as I can remember, I"ve loved learning new things and solving problems. So when I sat down at a computer for the first time in seventh grade, I was hooked.It was a clunky and teletype machine that barely does anything compared to the computer we have today.But it changed my life.

When my friend Paul Allen and I stared Microsoft 30 years ago, we had a vision of“a computer on every desk and in every home,”which probably sounded a little too optimistic at a time when most computers were the size of refrigerators. But we believe that personal computer would change the world.And they have.

And after 30 years, I"m still as inspired by computers as I was back in seventh grade.

I believe that computers are the most incredible tool we can use to feed our curiosity and inventiveness-to help us solve problems that even the smartest people couldn"t solve on their own. BComputer have transformed how we learn, giving kids everywhere a window into all of the world"s knowledge.They"re helping us build communicates around the things we care about and to stay close to the people who are important to us, no matter where they are.

But for all the cool things that a person can do with a pc, there are lots other ways we can put our creativity and intelligence to work to improve our world. There are still far too many people in the world whose most basic needs go unmet.Every year, for example, millions of people die from diseases that are easy to prevent or treat in the developed world.

I believe that my own good fortune brings with it a responsibility to give back to the world. My wife, Melinda, and I have committed to improving health and education in a way that can help as many people as possible.

CAs a father, I believe that the death of a child in Africa is no less poignant or tragic than the death of a child anywhere else. And that doesn"t take much to make an immense difference in these children"s lives.

I"m still very optimist, and I believe that progress on even the world"s toughest problems is possible-and it"s happening every day. We"re seeing new drugs for deadly diseases, new diagnostic tools, and new attention paid to the health problems in the developing world.

I"m excited by the possibilities I see for medicine, for education and, of course, for technology. And I believe that through our natural inventiveness, creativity and willingness to solve tough problems, we"re going to make some amazing achievements in all these areas in my lifetime.
