人需要具备三样东西,才能变成百万富翁。这就是:运气、知识、勤劳。尤其是勤劳,而最重要的是,他得有所谓的“百万富翁的头脑”:以充分灵敏的头脑,把一个人的技巧和学问,贯注于他的生意和目标中。有一次我雇了一个人,叫乔治·密勒,主管加州洛杉矶郊外我拥有的一些油田。他是个诚实又勤奋的人,了解石油的行情。他的薪水跟他所负的责任相称,而他也似乎很满意他的工作和收入。但是,每当我去看我的土地,检查挖掘现场、装备和油井时,总会发现一些我认为是错误或效率不佳的情形。我觉得他花太多的时间在洛杉矾办公室里办公,而在外面的油田现场上花的时间不够。 People need to have three things to become millionaires. This is: luck, knowledge, hard work. Especially hard-working, and most importantly, he had to call the so-called “millionaire mind”: a person’s skills and knowledge, with a full and sensitive mind, to focus on his business and goals. Once, I hired a man, George Miller, to run some of the oil fields I owned outside Los Angeles, California. He is an honest and diligent person who understands the oil market. His salary matched his responsibility, and he seemed satisfied with his job and his income. However, whenever I go to see my land and inspect excavation sites, equipment and wells, I always find something I think is wrong or inefficient. I think he spends too much time in the office in Los Angeles and does not spend enough time on the field outside the field.
