投資大師羅傑斯給寶貝女兒的12封信 - (一)

洪蘭原譯：不要讓別人影響你 (p.38)
善用自己的智慧 (p.40)
在生命中總會有某個時候需要你下非常重要的決定 -- 關於你的工作，家庭，生活，關於住在那裡，關於怎麼投資你的金錢，這時會有很多人願意提供你忠告。但是記住這句話，你的生活是你自己的，不是別人的。


別人的忠告當然有對的時候，但事後證明這些忠告無用的次數卻更多。你必須靠自己研究—-盡可能學習面對挑戰的本事，自行判斷訊息的真儰並為自己做決定。




你天生就有能力為自己的最大利益下最好的決策，在大多數的情況下，經過自己的思索比違背自己的意願兒聽從他人的決定，更能做出正確的決策並採取正確的行動。

原文: Swim Your Own Races: Do Not Let Others Do Your Thinking For You. Rely on Your Own Intelligence. (P.3)

There are going to be moments in life when you must make very important decisions. You will find many people ready to offer you advice if you ask for it (and even if you don’t), but always remember that the life you lead is yours and nobody else’s. It’s important to decide for yourself what’s important to you and what you want before you turn to others.







Because while there will be times when outside advice proves wise, there will be at least as many times when it proves utterly useless. The only way to really evaluate other folks’ advice is to first learn everything that you can about whatever challenge you are facing. Once you’ve done that, in many cases you should be able to make an informed decision on your own anyway.

You were born with the ability to decide what is and what isn’t in your best interest. Most of time, you will make the right decision and take the appropriate actions, and in thinking for yourself, you will become far more successful than had you gone against your won judgment. Believe me, I know. (P.4)

試譯：與自己比賽！不要讓別人影響你！
相信自己的智慧



在生命中有很多時候你需要下非常重要的決定，不管你要或不要，都會有很多人可以給你意見，但是一定要記得，你的生命是由你自己主宰的。最重要的是你要先為自己抓好大方向，再去求助他人的建議。




別人的忠告有對也有錯的時候。唯一可以評斷別人訊息對錯，是你自己要先徹底了解你所面對的挑戰。當你做到了這一點，有很多事你自己也可以做有根據的判斷了。


你天生就附有判斷什麼對自身最好的能力。大多數的情形下，在你自己思索後，你可以做出正確的決定和適當的行動，你會作得比違背自己意願胡亂聽從來的成功。相信我，我經歷過。
