1904年,美國(guó)《企業(yè)家》雜志選用《常識(shí)》中的一段話作為發(fā)刊詞。此后百余年中滄海桑田,物是人非,但雜志扉頁上的這段話卻從來沒有改變,它被稱為企業(yè)家誓言:
I do not choose to be a common person.
It is my right to be uncommon—if I can.
I seek opportunity—not security.
I do not wish to be a kept citizen,
humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.
I want to take the calculated risk,
to dream and to build,
to fail and to succeed.
I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;
I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;
the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia.
I will not trade my freedom for beneficence
nor my dignity for a handout.
I will never cower before any master
nor bend to any threat.
It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid;
to think and act for myself;
to enjoy the benefit of my creations;
and to face the world boldly
and say:
“This, with God’s help, I have done.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
我是不會(huì)選擇做一個(gè)普通人的。
如果我能夠做到的話,我有權(quán)成為一位不尋常的人。
我尋找機(jī)會(huì),但我不尋求安穩(wěn),我不希望在國(guó)家的照顧下成為一名有保障的國(guó)民,那將被人瞧不起而使我感到痛苦不堪。
我要做有意義的冒險(xiǎn)。
我要夢(mèng)想,我要?jiǎng)?chuàng)造,我要失敗,我也要成功。
我拒絕用刺激來換取施舍;
我寧愿向生活挑戰(zhàn),而不愿過有保證的生活;寧愿要達(dá)到目的時(shí)的激動(dòng),而不愿要烏托邦式毫無生氣的平靜。
我不會(huì)拿我的自由與慈善作交易,也不會(huì)拿我的尊嚴(yán)去與發(fā)給乞丐的食物作交易。
我決不會(huì)在任何一位大師面前發(fā)抖,也不會(huì)為任何恐嚇?biāo)?
我的天性是挺胸直立,驕傲而無所畏懼。
我勇敢地面對(duì)這個(gè)世界,自豪地說:
在上帝的幫助下,我已經(jīng)做到了。
