Investment is the noblest activity for an ideal manPosts RSS

In my introduction, I mention that entrepreneurship starts with vision. Without a vision, nothing of consequence will happen. I have told the story before of how the people who have survived harrowing situations seemed to have one thing in common–they maintained hope, and kept a clear vision not only of survival, but their future. They were making plans throughout their ordeal. - Donald Trump (source)

 

身邊有人很討厭Donald Trump,也有人買他的書一本接著一本看,也不乏有人有人懷疑他的著作都是掛名找寫手操刀。我自己則是起碼欣賞他敢衝、敢(愛?)秀的性格。看過The Apprentice應該都知道他說話的風格 - 用字樸實、簡潔、直入要害;他每2-3天會發表的部落格post也有著一樣的特色,所以我寧肯相信這是他本人親自key-in的啦。

 

不管他是不是說一套,做一套,我還欣賞Trump另外一點 - 無論在公開發言,或是著作,他始終鼓吹企業家精神(entrepreneurship)。在他的房地產王國中,官僚肯定少不了,作為國王,他大可倡導某台商x語錄中那種紀律、服從、效率的精神,如此一來員工不就更好管理?但他把自己塑造成欣賞企業家 - those think big, win big的那種老闆,吸引來的是一群更不容易管理(有主見、獵殺機會、轉職率高)的員工,但也同時吸引到能為他創造億萬財富的猛將。

 

說來巧合又奇怪,身邊的朋友,好像討厭Trump的那群多立志當一輩子好員工,欣賞Trump的另一群,則是怎麼看胸口都像有一把火。
