奢侈足以败家,悭吝亦足以败家;庸愚足以覆事,精明亦足以覆事。
译文:奢侈无度可以让家业衰败,过于吝啬也可以让家业衰败;过于愚笨可以坏事,精明过于也可以坏事。赏析:挥霍无度,浪费钱财,过分追求物质享受,再多的家产也可以被败光,而过分吝啬,不懂得散财,不懂得让金钱为我所用,再多的家产都无法产生价值。只会赚钱,不会用钱,金钱将失去意义;只会用钱,不会赚钱,金钱无处可来。人如果愚钝不开,就不会明白世间的道理,做事毫无章法,自然难以成事;而人过于精明,不懂得收敛锋芒,处处要占上风,处处算计别人,做事也难以成功。
The power elite is composed of men whose positions enable them to transcend the ordinary environments of ordinary men and women; they are in positions to make decisions having major consequences.
倪匡走前只给大家留下一句话。
The sociological imagination enables its possessor to understand the larger historical scene in terms of its meaning for the inner life and the external career of a variety of individuals.
