A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
公司
Company
I didn't need to borrow money from the record company, because if I had my own publishing company, and I had my own writers, I'd have enough to get and do whatever I wanted to do.
我不需要向唱片公司借钱,因为如果我有自己的出版公司,有自己的作家,我就有足够的钱去做我想做的事情。
If the company depends entirely on you - your creativity, ingenuity, inspiration, salesmanship or charisma - nobody will want to buy it. The risk and the dependency are too great.
如果公司完全依赖于你——你的创造力、独创性、灵感、销售技巧或个人魅力——没有人会想买它。风险和依赖性都太大了。
He shall sit solitary by avoiding the company of men, he shall hold his peace by meditating upon the joys of heaven, and he has risen above his state by tasting celestial delights.
他将孤独地坐着,避开人群;他将默想天堂的欢乐而保持安静;
Not only I lost what I had in the ship, but from the captain and the company generally what was good or worth the taking was carried away; all which was done unknown to the emperor.
我不仅失去了我在船上所拥有的一切,而且船长和他的伙伴们也把我所拥有的一切都带走了。这一切都是皇帝所不知道的。
So why sign your name in blood for more? It seemed like a sensible arrangement for me. I didn't sell large numbers of records and the record company paid advances they rarely recouped.
那为什么还要用血来签名呢?对我来说,这似乎是一个明智的安排。我没有卖出大量唱片,唱片公司支付的预付款很少能收回。
If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.
如果我们每个人都雇佣比我们小的人,我们就会变成一个侏儒公司。但是如果我们每个人都雇佣比我们更大的人,我们就会成为一个巨人组成的公司。
If you hire only those people you understand, the company will never get people better than you are. Always remember that you often find outstanding people among those you don't particularly like.
如果你只雇佣那些你了解的人,公司就永远不会把你比得更好。永远记住,你经常会在那些你不是特别喜欢的人中找到杰出的人。
Like any small business owner, I experienced the pressures of building a company from the ground up - developing a business plan, balancing the books, meeting payroll and building a customer base.
像所有的小企业主一样,我经历了从零开始建立一家公司的压力——制定商业计划、平衡账目、支付工资和建立客户基础。
Nevertheless most of the evergreen forests of the north must always remain the home of wild animals and trappers, a backward region in which it is easy for a great fur company to maintain a practical monopoly.
然而,北方的大多数常绿森林必须永远是野生动物和捕猎者的家园,这是一个落后的地区,一个伟大的毛皮公司很容易保持实际的垄断地位。
Few companies that installed computers to reduce the employment of clerks have realized their expectations... They now need more, and more expensive clerks even though they call them 'operators' or 'programmers.'
安装电脑以减少职员雇用的公司很少实现他们的期望。他们现在需要更多、更昂贵的职员,尽管他们称他们为“操作员”或“程序员”。
Do I regret taking the company public? Yes and no. Yes, because it put us under enormous pressure for a young company to go public at that point in its history, something you never could have done in the old days.
我后悔让公司上市吗?是的,没有。是的,因为它给我们带来了巨大的压力,迫使一家年轻的公司在其历史上的那个时候上市,这在过去是不可能做到的。
When I started my company, many people said I shouldn't launch it as a retail concept because it was too big a risk. They told me to launch as a wholesaler to test the waters - because that was the traditional way.
当我创办我的公司时,很多人说我不应该把它作为一个零售概念来推出,因为它的风险太大了。他们让我以批发商的身份开始尝试,因为这是传统的方式。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
All business success rests on something labeled a sale, which at least momentarily weds company and customer.
所有商业上的成功都依赖于一种被贴上“销售”标签的东西,它至少在短时间内把公司和客户联系在一起。
If misery loves company, then triumph demands an audience.
如果痛苦喜欢陪伴,那么胜利需要一个观众。
