富兰克林-创始人肖像计划


Note

  • 马斯克敬仰富兰克林和乔布斯、乔布斯拜会了惠普创始人、贝索斯研究了爱迪生和特斯拉、任正非和很多中国的创始人推崇的是毛泽东、而张一鸣最爱读的也是人物传记。

  • 关于富兰克林,马斯克原话这样说的(Elon Musk: “I didn’t read a lot of business books, I like biographies and autobiographies, they are helpful. I liked Franklin’s autobiography and the biography by Issacson. He’s an entrepreneur, he started from nothing, he was basically a runaway kid, he created this printing business, he also did science and politics, he’s one of the people I most admire.”)。成为马斯克最仰慕的人之一,那是何许人也!听了他的话,我找来并读完了四本书:艾萨克森的他传、富兰克林自传、《穷理查智慧书》和《绅士谋国》。

  • 财务自由了的富兰克林,在科学上发挥了很大的热情,通过很多科学实验,提出自然界中存在”正电”和”负电”,并揭示出雷电现象的本质,发明了避雷针。历史上最有名的富兰克林带儿子放风筝收集雷电,虽说不一定是史实,但是他的学术论文,足以让他名扬欧洲,成为哈佛耶鲁牛津等大学的荣誉博士。除了在电学上的划时代成果,他在数学、热学、光学、声学、海洋学和植物学方面都有建树(!!),还发明了新式火炉(虽然不太好用)、电轮、双焦距眼镜、自动烤肉机、新式路灯等。

  • 在法国,富兰克林的生活非常浪漫。一下船,他的那顶貂皮帽子就火了。他在回忆录里写道:『这里的每个人,上至内阁部长,下至旅馆招待,没有人不知道这位博士先生 – 他的肖像随处可见,挂在壁炉架上,可在装饰盘、徽章、戒指上,印在外衣、帽子、鼻烟壶上』,简直是全巴黎最大的IP了。那时候,法国思想家杜尔阁甚至将富兰克林誉为当代普罗米修斯,他『从苍天处夺来雷电,从暴君处取回民权』。用他的浪漫主义,富兰克林不仅和几十个名媛贵妇眉来眼去飞燕传书,还真的把事情干成了:据统计,法国在战时对美国经济援助的金额高达2.4亿美元(300年前的钱)!

  • 华盛顿总统感慨道:『因为善行而受景仰,因为才华而获崇拜,因为爱国而受尊敬,因为仁慈而得到爱戴… 你可以得到最大的安稳,就是知道自己没有虚度一生』,上善至矣!

  • 富兰克林晚年曾说,『如果你不想在死后被世人遗忘,要么写一些值得读的东西,要么做一些值得写的事』。诚哉斯言。
    ——如此有理,吾辈谨记

  • 作为一个不算很虔诚的清教徒,富兰克林发现当时北美的教会总是强调信仰、紧密围绕在牧师和教堂周围,而从不强调美德。于是二十二岁的他开始了自己的年轻商人的『道德完善计划』(一开始有12条,后来加入了谦虚)。

一、节制:食不过饱,饮不过量。
Temperance: Eat not to dullness. Drink not to elevation.

二、缄默:言则于人于己有益,不作鸡毛蒜皮的闲扯。
Silence: Speak not but what may benefit others or yourself. Avoid trifling conversation.

三、条理:物归其位,做事之前制定时间表,按照计划,在相应的时间内完成应该做的事情。
Order: Let all your things have their places. Let each part of your business have its time.

四、决断:做事应该果断,不要拖泥带水,一旦决定就要付诸行动,还要坚持到底。
Resolution: Resolve to perform what you ought. Perform without fail what you resolve.

五、节俭:不要做无益的花销,杜绝不必要的浪费。
Frugality: Make no expense but to do good to others or yourself: i.e., Waste nothing.

六、勤勉:不浪费时间,时时刻刻都要用于正经事,戒除一切不必要的行动。
Industry: Lose no time. Be always employed in something useful. Cut off all unnecessary actions.

七、诚恳:绝对不可以欺骗他人,考虑问题应公平公正,襟怀坦荡,发表观点时要有理有据,尊重事实。
Sincerity: Use no hurtful deceit. Think innocently and justly; and if you speak, speak accordingly.

八、正直:不做有损他人之事,不要放弃履行行善助人的义务,从而伤害他人。
Justice: Wrong none by doing injuries, or omitting the benefits that are your duty.

九、中庸:为人处事不要极端偏激,对待他人的一时发泄,应当加以宽容,不要斤斤计较,怀恨记仇。
Moderation: Avoid extremes. Forbear resenting injuries so much as you think they deserve.

十、清洁:注意仪表,身体、衣服和住所都应当力求清洁。
Cleanliness: Tolerate no uncleanness in body, clothes, or habitation.

十一、沉着:不要因为琐事或者难以避免的不测而烦恼。
Tranquility: Be not disturbed at trifles, or at accidents common or unavoidable.

十二、贞节:切忌房事过度,以免伤害身体或有损自己或他人的安宁和名誉。
Chastity: Rarely use venery but for health or offspring; never to dullness, weakness, or the injury of your own or another's peace or reputation.

十三、谦虚:效法耶酥和苏格拉底。
Humility: Imitate Jesus and Socrates.

  • 美德会带来名声,而文笔和出版又进一步加强了自己的声誉,而好的声誉又进一步激发了他对自己美德的要求。(Virtue and writing begets reputation, and reputation begets virtue.)

  • 对于一个天资聪颖,木秀于林的天才来说,不到三十岁就明白谦逊,实属不容易。实际上,富兰克林的一生都是非常与人为善、长袖善舞的:是他在大陆会议最关键的时候如翩翩君子,温润如玉的一番话让大家求同存异,得以建成联邦国。然而纵观他的一生,富兰克林还是树敌无数。艾萨克森总结,他的一生和很多红颜知己成为了终身的好友,而无论多么谦逊,几乎所有男性最终都或多或少与他为敌。这可能是源于人性中固有的嫉妒,也可能是天才的宿命吧。
    ——太厉害了......

  • 他的工作生活比较平衡、游刃有余,他知道自己做什么都会有成绩,于是选择了做真正能对社会有影响力的事情(Impact Driven)。

  • 如果生在和平年代,富兰克林可能是个很快乐的KOL、斜杠青年,生逢大变革之时,他就成为了『美国先生』,那个印在100元美金上的男人。

Apple's One-Dollar-a-Year Man, By Steve Jobs, 2000

(FORTUNE Magazine) – Now that Steve Jobs has showed his hand on Apple's Internet and system software strategies and dropped the "interim" from his title, other questions loom. He's always denied it, but isn't it true that his old company, Next, did wind up taking over Apple? Will there ever be an encore to the 15-year-old Macintosh? Short of that, does Apple have any plans to jump into the "Internet appliance" fray? Will Apple ever build computers for business people again? And what, pray tell, does Steve think of all these young Internet zillionaires? Let's ask. Practically every technology that your old company, Next, possessed when Apple acquired it in 1997 is now being used by Apple in some strategic way. This must seem like sweet vindication.  The thing about Next was that we produced something that was truly brilliant for an audience that our heart really wasn't into selling to--namely, the enterprise. I suppose if you were wr...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 16 Blind Spots, Grudges, and Sharp Elbows

Steve could be pretty thin-skinned when someone prominent criticized the aesthetics of his products. He took great umbrage that Neil would, as Steve put it, “pop off in public like that without coming to talk to us about his technical concerns first.” From that point on he had rebuffed all of Neil’s attempts to smoke the peace pipe. 有趣 He had blind spots, grating behavioral habits, and a tendency to give in to emotional impulse that persisted his entire life. These characteristics are often used to make the case that Steve was an “asshole” or a “jerk,” or perhaps simply “binary”—that odd adjective often used to convey the sense that he was half asshole/half genius from birth to death. These aren’t useful, interesting, or enlightening descriptions. What’s more illuminating is to take a look at the specific ways in which Steve failed to do an effective job of tempering some of his weaknesses and antisocial traits, and to consider how, when, and why some of them continued to flare up even...

A Sister’s Eulogy for Steve Jobs

I grew up as an only child, with a single mother. Because we were poor and because I knew my father had emigrated from Syria, I imagined he looked like Omar Sharif. I hoped he would be rich and kind and would come into our lives (and our not yet furnished apartment) and help us. Later, after I’d met my father, I tried to believe he’d changed his number and left no forwarding address because he was an idealistic revolutionary, plotting a new world for the Arab people. Even as a feminist, my whole life I’d been waiting for a man to love, who could love me. For decades, I’d thought that man would be my father. When I was 25, I met that man and he was my brother. By then, I lived in New York, where I was trying to write my first novel. I had a job at a small magazine in an office the size of a closet, with three other aspiring writers. When one day a lawyer called me — me, the middle-class girl from California who hassled the boss to buy us health insurance — and said his cl...

巴菲特致股东信-1980年

 笔记: 会计中对于下属股权公司的记账方式有3种: 持股50%以上,全部并入 持续20%--50%,则按持股比例并入 持股20%以下,则以实际收到的利润返还,计入报表 这种会计方式,会导致伯克希尔旗下,不少的企业,未能暴露实际的收益情况 对伯克希尔而言,对盈余的认定并非取决于持股比例是100%,50%,20%,5%或是1%,盈余的真正价值在于其将来再投资所能产生的效益 我们宁愿将所赚的盈余继续交由不受我们控制的人好好发挥,也不希望转由我们自己来浪费 高通货膨胀等于是对投入的资本额外课了一次税 翻译: https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131837878 https://archive.ph/XMX5n  原文: Buffett’s Letters To Berkshire Shareholders 1980 巴菲特致股东的信 1980 年 Operating earnings improved to $41.9 million in 1980 from $36.0 million in 1979, but return on beginning equity capital (with securities valued at cost) fell to 17.8% from 18.6%. We believe the latter yardstick to be the most appropriate measure of single-year managerial economic performance. Informed use of that yardstick, however, requires an understanding of many factors, including accounting policies, historical ca...
