Be strong-hearted. Sit down with the banker and have a heart to heart talk.

VOA: special.2010.07.18

Of course, the banker isn't going to give you $1 for something that is paying $1 in a year because the banker knows that $1 could be invested at the interest rate.

当然,银行不会因为某些东西,在一年内收益一美元,而给你一美元,因为银行知道一美元能在利率的基础上,用来投资

I like to tell that story because it sounds obvious that if you were a goldsmith hundreds of years of ago you would have probably become a banker -it would just be the natural thing to do.

我喜欢讲这个故事,因为这里面的道理很简单,如果你是几百年前的一名金匠,你很可能就会变成一个银行家,这是自然而然的事
