确立了投资的永恒主题怎样增加个人财富?投资是惟一的途径。这一章回答了:人们追求自身利益的共同本性在市场经济条件下,具有选择投资的自然趋势。因为市场经济使得通过投资来增加财富成为可能。一、人性,驱动投资什么是人性?许多学科的共同结论是:追求自身利益,是人的一切行为的出发点和归宿点,是人的思维活动和形体活动的最终目的。什么是利益呢?利益被经典地概括为:“需要的实现”。即得到并满足自己的需要。人都需要什么呢?根据马斯洛的需求层次论:需要对不同的人表现为不同层次,有最基本的生存需要,也有最高层次的自身价值实现的需要。至此,可以得出结论:追求自身需要的满足就是人的本性。人的这个本性不会随世纪更替而改变。正如亚当·斯密所言:“我们从胎里出来一直到死,从没有一刻放弃过改良自身状况的愿望。我们一生到死,对于自身地位,几乎没有一个人会有一刻觉得完全满意,而不求进步,不求改良。但怎...
OTHOA.D. 32-69by Plutarchtranslated by John DrydenTHE new emperor went early in the morning to the capitol, andsacrificed; and, having commanded Marius Celsus to be brought, hesaluted him, and with obliging language desired him rather to forgethis accusation than remember his acquittal; to which Celsus answeredneither meanly nor ungratefully, that his very crime ought to...

Tiger!"What of the hunting, hunter bold?Brother, the watch was long and cold.What of the quarry ye went to kill?Brother, he crops in the jungle still.Where is the power that made your pride?Brother, it ebbs from my flank and side.Where is the haste that ye hurry by?Brother, I go to my lairto die.Now we must go back to the first tale. When Mowgli left the...
The Unseen World and Other Essaysby John FiskeTO JAMES SIME.MY DEAR SIME:Life has now and then some supreme moments of pure happiness, which in reminiscence give to single days the value of months or years. Two or three such moments it has been my good fortune to enjoy with you, in talking over the mysteries which forever fascinate while they forever baffle us. It was our midnight talks in Great Russell Street and the Addison Road, and our bright May holiday on the Thames, that led me to write
TWICE-TOLD TALESTHE AMBITIOUS GUESTby Nathaniel HawthorneONE SEPTEMBER NIGHT a family had gathered round their hearth, andpiled it high with the driftwood of mountain streams, the dry cones ofthe pine, and the splintered ruins of great trees that had comecrashing down the precipice. Up the chimney roared the fire, andbrightened the room with its broad blaze. The faces of the father...

卷二 天主教哲学西方哲学史导言 天主教哲学,就我使用这一名词时所含的意义而言,是指由奥古斯丁到文艺复兴时 期为止支配着欧洲思想的哲学。在这十个世纪期间的前后,曾经有过属于这同一总的学 派的哲学家。在奥古斯丁以前,有过早期的教父,其中突出的是欧利根;文艺复兴以后 则有许多哲学家,包括现在墨守某种中世纪体系、特别是托马斯·阿奎那体系的所有正 统天主教的哲学教师。然而只有在奥古斯丁至文艺复兴起间的最伟大的哲学家,才与建 立并完成天主教思想的综合体系有关。在奥古斯丁以前的基督教世纪里,斯多葛学派和 新柏拉图主义者在哲学的才能方面使教父们相形见拙;文艺复兴以后,甚至在正统天主 教教徒当中,也没有一个卓越的哲学家来继承经院学派或奥古斯丁的传统。...
The Monster Menby Edgar Rice Burroughs1THE RIFTAs he dropped the last grisly fragment of the dismembered and mutilated body into the small vat of nitric acid that was to devour every trace of the horrid evidence which might easily send him to the gallows, the man sank weakly into a chair and throwing his body forward upon his great, teak desk buried his face in his arms, breaking into dry, moaning sobs.Beads of perspiration followed the seams of his high, wrinkled forehead, replacing the tears
《战士》上市之际,一朋友给我打来电话,当头便是一句:祝你喜得贵子。我自己还跟个孩子似的,怎么就当爹了?挂掉电话,我琢磨了一会儿,觉得这比喻还挺形象。于是,我决定为孩子的诞生码篇短文以资纪念。此时此刻,盛夏将至,上海街头的梧桐树一改初春时节的枝桠光秃,长出卵球和林阴。触情生情,从孩子的性别说起。扯远了,书归正传,接下来我要向你透露一些不为人知的幕后故事。《战士》是个难产孩子,他在出版社住了差不多两年。如果不按照图书的出版规律而是套用妊娠原理的话,他则属于超难产类型。《战士》之所以难产,与香港女人选择打催胎针或者剖腹产图个吉祥的生辰八字有着异曲同工之妙,但优于前者。催生难免粗糙,就像是喷洒了茄红素的番茄,味儿不地道。难产如同足球加时比赛,意味着激烈和精彩。在这两年里,我与作家出版社的袁敏老师一边等待着黄道吉日,一边把《战士》反复斟酌。初稿的激情与狂野、二稿的慎密与收敛...
宋江走在熙熙攘攘的大街上。 那时候他还没有进官府成为押司。他手里提着一个竹篮,里面装的是一种叫“炊饼”的食物,正在当街叫卖。 宋江为什么会在大街上卖炊饼?这是一个问题。 宋江读过几年书,有一定的文化,在邻里之间是公认的才子。但他的长相实在令人不敢恭维,獐头鼠目,面色黝黑。大宋国有一种不成文的说法:强壮的人当山寨的大王,个高的人打老虎,凡是身量不足、长相奇丑的人只能卖炊饼。这是大宋的一个普遍共识。 从宋江卖炊饼这个事实可以看出:宋江处在生活的底层。但这并不意味着贫穷,宋江有自己心目中的偶像,那就是武大郎。武大郎身不满五尺,面目丑陋,头脑简单,清河县人见他生得短矮,封他一个诨名,叫“三寸丁谷树皮”。但是,武大郎的炊饼是阳谷特产,在坊间享有绝好的名声。炊饼是一种烤制的面制食品,圆形,比巴掌略大,两面烤制,没有正反面之分。炊饼呈淡黄色,外表有一层干焦的芝麻,...
Round the Sofaby Elizabeth GaskellLong ago I was placed by my parents under the medical treatment of acertain Mr. Dawson, a surgeon in Edinburgh, who had obtained areputation for the cure of a particular class of diseases. I wassent with my governess into lodgings near his house, in the Old Town.I was to combine lessons from the excellent Edinburgh masters, withthe medicines and exercises needed for my indisposition. It was atfirst rather dreary to leave my brothers and sisters, and to give u
