巴菲特：职业在于选择

       But I always really worked in a job that I, ya know, loved doing.And you should really take a job,that if you were independently wealthy, you would take. That’s the job to take because that’s the one that you’re gonna have great fun in, you’ll learn something, you’ll be excited about it, and you can’t miss.You may go do something else later on, but you’ll get way more out of it, and I don’t care what the starting salary is, or anything of the sort. I don’t know how I got off on that,but I- there I am. So I do think that if you think you’re going to be a lot happier if you’ve got Two-X instead of X, you’re probably making a mistake. I mean, you ought to find something you like that works with that, and you’ll get in trouble if you think that making Ten-X or Twenty-X is the answer to everything in life,

　　我总是投入到我热爱的职业中去。你们真的应该从事自己喜欢的工作，如果你的经济宽裕而独立，你就该这么做。你定这样的工作是因为你会从中得到很多快乐，你将会从中受益，会感到兴奋，你不能错过它。你以后可能去做些别的事儿，但是做它，你会收获更多。我不在乎我的起薪是多少，或诸如此类的事。我不知道自己当初是如何喜欢上这份工作的，不过，我就是喜欢它。我确信，如果觉得得到两倍比得到一倍会让你更高兴，你很可能就错了。我是说，你应该找到一份你喜欢的工作去做，拿那份工资。如果你觉得挣10 倍或20 倍的工资，生活就无忧了，那么，你就会遇上麻 烦了。因为那样的话，你会做些傻事，比如在不该借钱时借钱，或者老板想让你“偷工减料”的时候“偷工减料”，等等。这对你没有任何意义，当你回想这段经历时，你不会为此而高兴。
