投資大師羅傑斯給寶貝女兒的12封信 - (四) - 2

Of course, here in the twenty-first century, we are deluged with information, mush of it from dubious (and bi-lased) sources. It’s surprising to me that so few people seem to bother to confirm the information they’re about to use to reach key decisions. It was the French writer Voltaire, in his Dictionnaire Philosophique, who said:” Common sense is not so common.” And as U.S. Army general George Patton once put it, “If everyone is thinking the same thing, someone is not thinking.”


當然,在二十一世紀,我們面臨著眾多的信息,很多都是來歷不明的。有些人似乎不去消息,也打算利用這些信息就做最後決定,令我感到詫異。法國作家伏爾泰,在他的詞典 Philosophique 說:“普通的常識並不普通。”而隨著美國將軍喬治巴頓將軍曾說過:“如果每個人都在思考同樣的事情,就代表有人沒在思考。”
