投資大師羅傑斯給寶貝女兒的12封信 - (四) - 1

Common Sense? Not So Common
普通常識? 並不普通

Most perceived wisdom is a misconception.

大多數人公認的智慧，是一種誤解。

I’ve written about the need to follow your own intelligence, to think for yourself,. As you travel the journey called life, you will come across conventional wisdom – accepted “truths” about how to behave, or what to study, or eat, or how to invest. You must remember never blindly to accept what you hear or read, no matter how many people believe it or how strongly they advocate it. Always consider alternative interpretations. The popular beliefs embraced by the larger society are often mistaken. I want to explain how to make sense of “common sense.”

我寫下了希望妳們能運用自己的智慧，獨立思考。在生命的旅程中，妳們會遇到的傳統智慧 – 要妳們接受所謂的“真理”，並如何做或者如何學習，如何吃，如何投資。但妳們必須記住，無論有多少人相信或跟從，都不要盲目地接受妳們聽到或讀到。要用不同的角度去思考。大多數的人認同並跟從的，往往是錯誤的。我想要解釋所謂的“常識”。
