買車不如買健康

股神給年輕人忠告

以下摘錄巴菲特在書中受訪的第一人說法： Let’s say that I offer to buy you the car of your dreams. You can pick out any car that you want, and then when you get out of class this afternoon, that car will be waiting for you at home.假設我提議送你一輛汽車，你夢想中的汽車，可以挑選任何想要的款式，而且今天放學後就會停在你家等著你。It’s the only car you’re ever going to get...in your entire life. Now, knowing that, how are you going to treat that car?只不過，你的一生就只有這麼一輛車，知道這點後你會怎麼照顧車子？ ，你會馬上處理，不讓狀況惡化，因為你明瞭只要自己活多久，車子就必須撐多久。●The position you’re in with your car is exactly the position you’re in concerning your mind and body.你對於照顧車子的觀念，完全就是對待自己身心靈的應有概念。

●You have only one mind and one body for the rest of your life. If you aren’t taking care of them when you’re young, it’s like leaving that car out in hailstorms and letting rust eat away at it. If you don’t take care of your mind and body now, by the time you’re 40 or 50, you’ll be like a car that can’t go anywhere.
