最后一部分了。加油斑举。
#24 Another thing you have to do of course is have a lot of assiduity....“whenever we're behind in our commitments to other people we will both work 14 hours a day until we caught up."
解析： assiduity - “死磕”精神，這世界只靠天賦和天才就可以成點(diǎn)事兒的人實(shí)在太少太少；所以，人能做的蘸鲸，就是“漸進(jìn)”、就是承諾后的無保留的努力窿锉。
#25 Another thing of course is life will have terrible blows, horrible blows, unfair blows, doesn’t matter. And some people recover and others don’t....every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something and your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion.
解析：又是一個(gè)婦孺皆知的道理 - 人生不易酌摇、磨難是財(cái)富、是機(jī)遇嗡载；與其做怨婦窑多、自怨自艾，不如做一個(gè)有范兒的“建造者”洼滚。
#26 He was favored because he became wise, and he became manly. Very good idea....And I’m Confucian enough that, even now, I sit here and I’m saying, “Well, Judge Munger would be pleased to see me here.”...And being the kind of man he was he underspent his income all his life and left her in comfortable circumstances.
解析：老爺子是孔子思想的鐵桿粉絲埂息，一位注重當(dāng)下、注重實(shí)踐遥巴、注重與人為善千康、于己嚴(yán)苛的智者；確實(shí)很man铲掐。
#27 While my grandfather took a loss, he got most of his money back eventually....
Mine were of trouble,
And mine were steady;
So I was ready
When trouble came.”
解析：從老爺子對他的爺爺?shù)纳畹拿枋鍪捌昧薍ouseman的一首小詩，隱隱透露一個(gè)不是秘密的秘密：大格局悲觀摆霉、小格局樂觀豪椿；與人樂觀、于己悲觀携栋。搭盾。。微妙婉支、微妙鸯隅、微妙
#28 Well, I did! All my life, I've gone through life anticipating trouble. And here I am, well along on my eighty-fourth year, and like Epictetus, I've had a favored life....It didn't hurt me at all. In fact, it helped me. So I quick claim to you Houseman and Judge Munger.
解析：對#27的進(jìn)一步解析，“向死而生”向挖、隨時(shí)保持著麻煩會(huì)過來光顧的心態(tài)滋迈、兢兢業(yè)業(yè)霎奢、如履薄冰。饼灿。。
#29 The highest form that civilization can reach is a seamless web of deserved trust. Not much procedure, just totally reliable people correctly trusting one another.
解析：本處是本篇演講中帝美，老爺子講述的最后一個(gè)閃光點(diǎn)碍彭；“文明”的最高樣式，是群落內(nèi)悼潭、群落間的“信任”庇忌；無條件、無縫隙舰褪、無“啟動(dòng)流程”的互相“相信”皆疹；當(dāng)然，這個(gè)狀態(tài)是他畢生在追求的占拍。
#30 I hope these ruminations of an old man are useful to you. In the end, I’m like the Old Valiant-for-Truth in The Pilgrim’s Progress: “My sword I leave to him who can wear it.”
解析：本處略就，老爺子實(shí)踐了自己的“與人樂觀“的心態(tài)，我說了“真話”晃酒，那又怎樣表牢，別患得患失以為自己幾斤幾兩，也別管是否一定有人會(huì)珍視贝次、會(huì)受用崔兴，關(guān)我屁事。我繼續(xù)活著蛔翅，依然好好做一臺(tái)“學(xué)習(xí)機(jī)器”敲茄，“向死而生”。山析。堰燎。
嗯，點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴盖腿、懇懇切切爽待。先這樣吧。
#24 Another thing you have to do of course is have a lot of assiduity. I like that word because it means sit down in your ass until you do it. I’ve had marvelous partners all my life. I think I got them partly because I tried to deserve them and partly because I was wise enough to select them and partly maybe it was some luck. But two partners that I chose for one little phase of my life had the following rule and they created a little designed build, construction team. And they sat down and said, 2 man partnership, divide everything equally, here’s the rule; “whenever we're behind in our commitments to other people we will both work 14 hours a day until we caught up." Well needless to say that firm didn’t fail! The people died rich. It’s such a simple idea.
#25 Another thing of course is life will have terrible blows, horrible blows, unfair blows, doesn’t matter. And some people recover and others don’t. And there I think the attitude of Epictetus is the best. He thought that every mischance in life was an opportunity to behave well, every mischance in life was an opportunity to learn something and your duty was not to be submerged in self-pity but to utilize the terrible blow in a constructive fashion. That is a very good idea.
And you may remember the epitaph which Epictetus left for himself: “Here lies Epictetus, a slave, maimed in body, the ultimate in poverty, and favored of the gods.” Well, that’s the way Epictetus is now remembered. He said big consequences. And he was favorite of the Gods! #26 He was favored because he became wise, and he became manly. Very good idea. I got a final little idea because I’m all for prudence as well as opportunism. My grandfather was the only federal judge in his city for nearly forty years and I really admired him. I’m his namesake. And I’m Confucian enough that, even now, I sit here and I’m saying, “Well, Judge Munger would be pleased to see me here.” So I'm Confucian enough, all these years after my grandfather is dead, to carry the torch for my grandfather's values. And, grandfather Munger was a federal judge at a time when there were no pensions for widows of federal judges. So if he didn't save from his income, why, my grandmother would have been in penury. And being the kind of man he was he underspent his income all his life and left her in comfortable circumstances.
Along the way, in the thirties, my uncle's bank failed and couldn't reopen. And my grandfather saved the bank by taking over a third of his assets—good assets—and putting them into the bank and taking the horrible assets in exchange. And, of course, it did save the bank. #27 While my grandfather took a loss, he got most of his money back eventually. But I've always remembered the example. And so when I got to college and I came across Houseman, I remember the little poem from Houseman, and that went something like this:
“The thoughts of others
Were light and fleeting,
Of lovers' meeting
Or luck or fame.
Mine were of trouble,
And mine were steady;
So I was ready
When trouble came.”
You can say, “Who wants to go through life anticipating trouble?” #28 Well, I did! All my life, I've gone through life anticipating trouble. And here I am, well along on my eighty-fourth year, and like Epictetus, I've had a favored life. It didn't make me unhappy to anticipate trouble all the time and be ready to perform adequately if trouble came. It didn't hurt me at all. In fact, it helped me. So I quick claim to you Houseman and Judge Munger.
The last idea that I want to give you, as you go out into a profession that frequently puts a lot of procedure, and a lot of precautions, and a lot of mumbo-jumbo into what it does, this is not the highest form which civilization can reach. #29 The highest form that civilization can reach is a seamless web of deserved trust. Not much procedure, just totally reliable people correctly trusting one another.
That's the way an operating room works at the Mayo Clinic. If a bunch of lawyers were to introduce a lot of process, the patients would all die. So never forget, when you're a lawyer, that you may be rewarded for selling this stuff, but you don't have to buy it. In your own life, what you want is a seamless web of deserved trust. And if your proposed marriage contract has forty-seven pages, my suggestion is you not enter. Well, that’s enough for one graduation. #30 I hope these ruminations of an old man are useful to you. In the end, I’m like the Old Valiant-for-Truth in The Pilgrim’s Progress: “My sword I leave to him who can wear it.”
