Preface

How This Book Was Written—and Why

In 1909,I was one of the unhappiest lads in New York.I was selling motor-trucks for

a living.I didn't know what made a motor-truck run.That wasn't all:I didn't want to know.

I despised my job.I despised living in a cheap furnished room on West Fifty-sixth Street—a

room infested with cockroaches.I still remember that I had a bunch of neckties hanging on the

walls; and when I reached out of a morning to get a fresh necktie,the cockroaches scattered in

all directions.I despised having to eat in cheap,dirty restaurants that were also probably infested

with cockroaches.

I came home to my lonely room each night with a sick headache—a headache bred and

fed by disappointment,worry,bitterness,and rebellion.I was rebelling because the dreams I had

nourished back in my college days had turned into nightmares.Was this life? Was this the vital

adventure to which I had looked forward so eagerly? Was this all life would ever mean to me—

working at a job I despised,living with cockroaches,eating vile food—and with no hope for the

future?...I longed for leisure to read,and to write the books I had dreamed of writing back in my

college days.

I knew I had everything to gain and nothing to lose by giving up the job I despised.I wasn't

interested in making a lot of money,but I was interested in making a lot of living.In short,I had

come to the Rubicon—to that moment of decision which faces most young people when they

start out in life.So I made my decision—and that decision completely altered my future.It has

序言

克服忧虑，快乐生活

1909年，我是纽约最不开心的年轻人。我当时靠推销货车为生。我不了解货车的运

转原理。这还不算，我本来就不想了解。我瞧不起我的工作，不愿住在西五十六大街到

处都是蟑螂的简陋房间里。我还记得我将一些领带挂在墙上，当我早上伸手去取一条新

领带时，蟑螂四处逃散的情景。我厌恨每天不得不去那个廉价而肮脏，或许同样是蟑螂

横行的饭馆吃饭。

每天晚上，我都会头痛欲裂地回到那冷冷清清的房间——因失望、忧虑、痛苦和抗

争而造成的头痛。我之所以抗争，是因为我大学时代的美好梦想已成为噩梦。这就是生

活吗？这就是我热切期望的人生冒险吗？对我来说这就是人生的一切吗——干着自己不

喜欢的工作、与蟑螂为伍、吃难以下咽的饭——未来却毫无希望？……我渴望读书的乐

趣，渴望写我在大学时代就想写的书。

我知道，放弃我不喜欢的工作什么都不会失去，反而可以获益良多。我并不在意赚

大把大把的钱，而喜欢让人生富有意义。总之，我已经破釜沉舟——那一刻是大多数年

轻人开始人生之旅时都会面临的。因此，我做出了决定——这个决定完全改变了我的前
