公司的力量》- 猎富时代    企业家誓言

我是不会选择做一个普通人的,

如果我能做到的话,我有权成为一位不同寻常的人。

我寻找机会,但我不寻求安稳,

我不希望在国家的照顾下,成为一名有保障的国民,那将被人瞧不起,而使我感到痛苦不堪,

我要做有意义的冒险,我要梦想,我要创造,我要失败,我也要成功。

我的天性是挺胸直立,骄傲而无所畏惧。

我勇敢的面对这个世界,自豪地说:

在上帝的帮助下,我已经做到了。

I do not choose to be a common person.

It is my right to be uncommon—if I can.

I seek opportunity—not security.

I do not wish to be a kept citizen,

humbled and dulled by having the state look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk,

to dream and to build,

to fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;

I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence;

the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of Utopia.

I will not trade my freedom for beneficence

nor my dignity for a handout.

I will never cower before any master

nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect, proud, and unafraid;

to think and act for myself;

to enjoy the benefit of my creations;

and to face the world boldly

and say:

"This, with God's help, I have done."

—Entrepreneur's Credo of the American
