Conscience, B.C. Forbes

Conscience, B.C. Forbes


A magazine editor recently asked me to sit down on my 40th birthday and write an article on the most important things I had learned in my first 40 years. I told him that the chief thing I had learned was that the copybook maxims are true, but that too many people forget this once they go out into the heat and hustle and bustle of the battle of life and only realize their truth once one foot is beginning to slip into the grave. The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.

최근 한 잡지 편집자가 제 40번째 생일을 맞아 제가 40년 동안 배운 가장 중요한 것들에 대한 기사를 써달라고 부탁했습니다. 저는 제가 배운 가장 중요한 것은 진부한 격언이 사실이지만, 너무 많은 사람들이 인생의 전쟁터에 나가면 이를 잊고 한 발이 무덤에 빠지기 시작하고 나서야 진실을 깨닫는다는 것이라고 말했습니다. 양심을 희생하여 수백만 달러를 벌어들인 사람은 실패자입니다.
