A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
這以後的每一章都會提到賺錢的秘訣，遵循它的指引，已 産生出成百上千的巨富，
賺進了無數的錢財。許久以來，這些 富商巨賈一直是我詳盡分析的對象。
In every chapter of this book,mention has been made of the money-making secret which
has made fortunes for hundreds of exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully
analyzed over a long period of years.
50 多年前，卡內基先生最先讓我註意到這個致富秘訣。 當時我還衹不過是個男孩
子，這位精明幹練而慈祥的蘇格蘭老 人，卻滿不在乎地把這個訣竅拋入我腦海，然
後就背靠着座 椅，眼中閃爍着快樂的光芒，留神地看我到底有沒有足夠的智 力去
領會他所有的含意。
The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than half a century
ago. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a
boy. Then be sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched
carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had
aid to me.
他發現到我拿握住了他的觀念，就又問我，願不願意花上 幼年或者更多年的時間，
讓自己成一點氣候，再將這則竅門 公諸於世，讓原本可能終其一生碌碌無為的男男
女女皆可因此 受惠?我說我願意。於是，在卡內基先生的協助下，我一直信 守着當
時的承諾。
When he saw that I bad grasped the idea. he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty
years or more preparing myself to take it to the would, to men and women who, without
the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie''
cooperation, I have kept my promise.

書中這則絶妙上策已有上千人屢試不爽，這些人遍及社會 的各個階層。卡內基先生
當初的用意是，對於為他帶來巨額財 富的這則神奇公式，應該讓沒有閑暇探究生財
之道的人，也能垂手可得。他也希望我能在不同行業的男女身上，驗徵這則公 式究
竟靠不靠得住。他認為這則公式應該在所有的公立院校傳 授。他更表示，如果講授
得宜，這個法則足以引發整個教育體 係的徹底改革，大傢可因此少花一半的時間在
學校的課程上。
This book contains the secret, after having been put to a practical test by thousands of
people, in almost every walk of life. It was Mr. Carnegie's idea that the magic formula,
which gave him a stupendous fortune, ought to be placed within reach of people who do
not have time to investigate how men make money, and it was his hope that I might test
and demonstrate the soundnes s of the formula through the experience of men and women
in every calling. He believed the formula should be taught in all public schools and
colleges, and expressed the opinion that if it were properly taught it would so
revolutionize the entire educational system that the time spent in school could be reduced
to less than half.
在討論信心的那一章裏，你會讀到美國鋼鐵公司令人驚訝 的建構史。原因在於，一
手孕育締造這則傳奇故事的人，便是卡內基先生親自調教出來的諸多年輕人中的一
員，藉着這些年 輕人的成績，卡內基先生證明了這則竅門“對那些已準備就緒 的人
來說”都會有效。史庫韋伯運用了這則秘訣一次，就為自 己賺進了大把鈔票，並贏
得數不完的機會。這次的運籌惟懼，少說也值6 億美金。
In the chapter on Faith, you will read the astounding story of the organization of the giant
United States Steel Corporation, as it was conceived and carried out by one of the young
men through whom Mr. Carnegie proved that his formula will work for all who are ready
for it. This single application of the secret, by Charles M. Schwab, made him a huge
fortune in both money and opportunity. Roughly speaking, this particular application of
the formula was worth six hundred million dollars.
這些事實是每一個認識卡內基先生的人都耳熟能詳的。上述的實例可以讓你大略了
解到，“衹要你知道自己要的是什 麽”，這本書便可以為你羅緻什麽。
These facts--and they are facts well known to almost everyone who knew Mr.
Carnegie--give you a fair idea of what the reading of this book may bring to you,
provided you know what it is that you want.
這個秘訣已傳授給上千名男女，正如卡內基先生所預期 的，這些男女將這個原則運
用在自身的利害關係上，其中一些 人發了財，有些則成功地營造了家庭的和樂融洽。
有位傳教士 因為運用此訣得當，年收入高達7 ．5 萬美元，並且有增無減呢!
