查理·芒格论出人头地Charlie Munger on Getting Ahead
我们经常从有进取心的年轻人那里听到这类问题。这是个非常聪明的问题：你看着某个有钱的老头，然后问，
"我怎样才能变得像你一样，只是更快？"；
每天都努力比醒来时更聪明一点点。勤恳忠实地履行你的职责。你会一步一步地前进，但不一定是突飞猛进。但你要通过为快速冲刺做好准备来锤炼纪律……一寸一寸地拼，日复一日地熬，到最后——如果你活得够久——大多数人都会得到他们应得的东西。
—— 查理·芒格
We get these questions a lot from the enterprising young. It’s a very intelligent question: You look at some old guy who’s rich and you ask,
“How can I become like you, except faster?”;
Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts… Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day, at the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.
– Charlie Munger
