什么是原则? 原则是什么意思(2)

2023-03-16 来源:你乐谷
我成长在长岛的中产阶级社区,父亲是爵士乐演奏家,母亲全职在家,我是他们的独子。我曾是个普通小孩,做学生时不太听话,我喜欢和朋友们一起玩,例如在大街上玩橄榄球,我不太喜欢我们的学校,总是教我们死记硬背,对于那些强迫我记住别人要求的事,我没任何兴趣。想要有积极性,我需要做我想做的事,而不是别人想要我做的事,为了成功,我需要知道怎么能得到我想要的,而不是做那些被要求的事。
Rote memory is memory for things that don’t have an intrinsic logic for being what they are, like a random series of numbers, words in a foreign language and people’s names all of which I have trouble with. On the other hand, I have a great memory for things that make sense in a context. For example, I can tell you what happened in every year in the economy and markets since the mid-1960s and how many things work.
死记硬背没有内在逻辑,就像随机号码,外语单词和人们的名字 所有这些都不是我擅长的,换句话说,我对有关联的事记得很清晰,例如我能告诉你,1960年以来,每年股市和经济领域发生了什么,哪些事起到了作用。
One thing I wanted was spending money. So I had a newspaper route, I mowed lawns, I shoveled the snow off driveways, I washed dishes in a restaurant, and, starting when I was 12 years old, I caddied.
我需要钱,所以我去送报纸、割草坪、清扫道路积雪、在饭馆洗盘子,我从十二岁便开始做球童。
It was the 1960s. At the time the stock market was booming and everyone was talking about it, especially the people I caddied for. So I started to invest. The first stock I bought was a company called Northeast Airlines, and the only reason I bought it was that it was the only company I had heard of that was trading for less than $5 per share, so I could buy more shares, which I figured was a good thing. It went up a lot. It was about to go broke but another company acquired it, so it tripled. I made money because I was lucky, though I didn’t see it that way then. I figured that this game was easy. After all, with thousands of companies listed in the newspaper, how difficult could it be to find at least one that would go up? By comparison to my other jobs, this way of making money seemed much more fun, a lot easier, and much more lucrative. Of course, it didn’t take me long to lose money in the markets and learn about how difficult it is to be right and the costs of being wrong.
