查理·芒格论如何取得进步
我们经常从有进取心的年轻人那里听到这些问题。这是一个非常聪明的问题：你看着某个富有的老人，然后问道，
“我怎样才能变得像你一样，只是更快？”
每天努力让自己比刚醒来时更聪明一点。忠实地履行你的职责并做好。一步一步地你会取得进步，但不一定是快速的飞跃。但你要通过为快速飞跃做准备来培养纪律性……一天一天，一寸一寸地拼搏，到最后——如果你活得足够长——大多数人都会得到他们应得的。

Charlie Munger on Getting Ahead
We get these questions a lot from the enterprising young. It’s a very intelligent question: You look at some old guy who’s rich and you ask,
“How can I become like you, except faster?”
Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up. Discharge your duties faithfully and well. Step by step you get ahead, but not necessarily in fast spurts. But you build discipline by preparing for fast spurts… Slug it out one inch at a time, day by day, at the end of the day – if you live long enough – most people get what they deserve.
