商業世界生存之道（一）：貪婪作為進步的動力
4月2日，No. 92，貪婪作為人類進步的動力
今天原始每日猜招節選的影片再多一些情境：https://www.americanrhetoric.com/MovieSpeeches/moviespeechwallstreet.html
簡單說就是在股東會的收購爭奪經營權，批評現任經營團隊很廢，僅有3%的股份。
這片段太經典了，也大推去看這部電影。
昨天提到人類太不滿足，對幸福想像極其嚴苛，但這又何嘗不是我們人類進步的動力？正是因為每個人的資源有限，而慾望好像都永遠多於自己的資源，可能多一些，也可能多很多，所以我們似乎怎麼努力增加自己的資源跟收入，都沒辦法填滿慾望的深淵。
另一個重點在於，只有花自己的錢與資源，才會認真看待，也才值得信任。英語有句俗諺是“Put your money where your mouth is”，也因此許多創業家、私募基金，都是個人連帶擔保或是共同投資。
所以，你看到早起搶頭香的信眾，或是心甘情願增添香油錢，都是true beliver。捐多捐少是一回事，捐自己的財產比例是另一回事。也因此聖經裡的馬克福音提到耶穌看見一位寡婦，捐出她僅有的幾毛錢，耶穌說她的奉獻，比其他人全部的捐獻還多。我把英文版的文字放到最下方，有興趣的朋友可以參考。
不過，不要搞混「某人是否真心相信他說的Ｘ」與「Ｘ本身是否值得相信」與「某人是否值得相信」。我們只能透過一個人資源配置，來檢視這個人是否言行合一罷了。
總結就是，商業世界第一原則 #大膽貪心，#努力實幹，#小心騙子。 Lesson of the widow's mite: He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, 'Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.'
