A WORD FROM THE AUTHOR
这以后的每一章都会提到赚钱的秘诀，遵循它的指引，已 产生出成百上千的巨富，
赚进了无数的钱财。许久以来，这些 富商巨贾一直是我详尽分析的对象。
In every chapter of this book,mention has been made of the money-making secret which
has made fortunes for hundreds of exceedingly wealthy men whom I have carefully
analyzed over a long period of years.
50 多年前，卡内基先生最先让我注意到这个致富秘诀。 当时我还只不过是个男孩
子，这位精明干练而慈祥的苏格兰老 人，却满不在乎地把这个诀窍抛入我脑海，然
后就背靠着座 椅，眼中闪烁着快乐的光芒，留神地看我到底有没有足够的智 力去
领会他所有的含意。
The secret was brought to my attention by Andrew Carnegie, more than half a century
ago. The canny, lovable old Scotsman carelessly tossed it into my mind, when I was but a
boy. Then be sat back in his chair, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, and watched
carefully to see if I had brains enough to understand the full significance of what he had
said to me.
他发现到我拿握住了他的观念，就又问我，愿不愿意花上 幼年或者更多年的时间，
让自己成一点气候，再将这则窍门 公诸于世，让原本可能终其一生碌碌无为的男男
女女皆可因此 受惠?我说我愿意。于是，在卡内基先生的协助下，我一直信 守着当
时的承诺。
When he saw that I bad grasped the idea. he asked if I would be willing to spend twenty
years or more preparing myself to take it to the would, to men and women who, without
the secret, might go through life as failures. I said I would, and with Mr. Carnegie''s
cooperation, I have kept my promise.
