伯恩斯坦女士,欢迎回到理性提醒播客,我们非常高兴能在这里与您谈论约翰·克莱门茨,他不幸已经去世。

We’re talking to you about a book but he wrote before he passed away and and you’ve been a gratious enough to to speak on his behalf about his writing, which is, I think, an incredible thing for you to do in his memory.
我们和您谈论他去世前写的一本书,您非常慷慨地代表他谈论他的作品,我认为这是您为纪念他所做的一件了不起的事。

嗯嗯,so to kick off build, why does success often contain the seeds of its own destruction?
嗯嗯,那么开始吧,比尔,为什么成功往往包含自身毁灭的种子?

He, well, if you’re talking about success at the corporate level, obviously a great success in a very high profitability and profit margin attracts competition.
他,嗯,如果你说的是企业层面的成功,显然非常高的盈利能力和利润率会吸引竞争。

So that’s a number one.
这是第一点。

Number two, organizations that are successful grow to be large and they become on whether the and Scorsese and difficult to manage, they develop ubs.
第二,成功的组织会变得庞大,变得臃肿且难以管理,他们会产生官僚习气。

You know they they think that they can do no wrong.
你知道,他们认为自己不会犯错。

And there is another factor which people don’t think about enough, I think, which is a lot of success has to do with work.
还有另一个因素,我认为人们考虑得不够,那就是很多成功与运气有关。

You know a lot of corporations wind up up in the right place at the right time, and then they’re never that lucky again.
你知道,很多公司恰好在正确的时间出现在正确的地点,然后他们再也没有那么幸运了。

I think that Facebook matter is a classic example of, the soccer bd got very lucky that Harvard, setting up his is his social media app.
我认为Facebook就是一个典型的例子,扎克伯格非常幸运,在哈佛建立了他的社交媒体应用。

There he was the right place at the right time he took off.

He was able to to monitor ze.
他能够将其货币化。

Quite successful in terms of advertizing revenue you know matter is still a cash gal, but it’s obvious that he’s lost his touch.
在广告收入方面相当成功,你知道Meta仍然是现金牛,但很明显他已经失去了感觉。

You know the metaphor that to work out so well and you know the odds that he’s going to succeeded AI or they’re not that that in not out either.
你知道元宇宙并没有那么成功,而且你知道他在人工智能上成功的几率也不大。

What constraints does our ability to help future generations face?
我们帮助后代的能力面临哪些限制?

Well, you know, I think what you’re asking is the ability of individuals to endow our, their, their ears.
嗯,你知道,我想你问的是个人为他们的继承人提供资助的能力。

Yes, I think that’s what your dog y band the is and how how can establish sh how can can you know the listeners established or have a family, a family dynasty, their kids, the grandkids education, make sure are successful and the answer is something that not only John’s written about it, IHI wrote about as well with rob or not in William woo.
是的,我想这就是你的意思,以及如何建立,听众们如何建立一个家族王朝,确保他们的孩子、孙辈的教育成功,答案是,不仅约翰写过,我也和罗布·阿诺特在威廉·伍中写过。

And it’s fortunately impossible to do for any number of reasons to establish that sort of dynastic wealth and power.
不幸的是,由于多种原因,建立那种世袭财富和权力是不可能的。

First of all, people read like rabbits.
首先,人们像兔子一样繁殖。

Okay?
好吗?

You have to to you double the population of your ears every generation.
每一代你的继承人数量都会翻倍。

So you’re dividing by two once every generation and then your ears tend not to be is ambitious and is hungry as you are.
所以你每一代都在除以二,而且你的继承人往往不像你那样有雄心、有饥饿感。

They tend not to be as good at managing money as you are.
他们往往不像你那样擅长管理金钱。

They have to pay taxes.
他们必须纳税。

They climb the hidden c tmt and their material once exploded.
他们面临隐性成本,物质欲望一旦爆发。

They fight with each other, over inheritance.
他们为继承权互相争斗。

And so history is full of cases of supposed dynastic wealth, that burned up very quickly.
因此,历史上充满了所谓世袭财富迅速耗尽的案例。

H for example, there was a for union on the the the real t eh 60 th, not 1 million antivenom.
例如,有一个关于……的财富,第60个,不是100万抗蛇毒血清。

Oh.
哦。

And you know there are all cases where families have managed to keep their wealth and tack.
你知道,也有一些家族设法保住了财富。

I mean, I happen to be personally acquainted someone who is the air to a large manufacturing fortune.
我的意思是,我碰巧认识一个人,他是一大笔制造业财富的继承人。

And I believe was the fourth in his line.
我相信他是家族中的第四代。

He was deemed not a lender of the business.
他被认为不适合领导该企业。

And by the way, he has to love and and, okay, so you know you can see what that headed.
顺便说一句,他不得不……好的,所以你可以看到那会走向何方。

This is a great book about the venture bill, wealth dynasty and how how it ended up, where where it is just a pretty interesting read.
这是一本关于范德比尔特财富王朝以及它如何结局的好书,读起来相当有趣。

Yeah it burned up very quickly because there you know there was was direct spend rift air that that really did a number on that particular, inheritance but the story, the story is the same, throughout all all all inherits itself.
是的,它很快就耗尽了,因为有一个挥霍无度的继承人,确实对那笔遗产造成了很大损害,但故事在所有继承中都是一样的。

If you think you’re going to be endorsing your great, great grandchildren with wealth and privilege, guess again Yeah Yeah so so interesting.
如果你认为你能让你的曾曾孙辈拥有财富和特权,那再猜猜吧,是的,是的,太有趣了。

Think about the estate planning implications of that reality.
想想这一现实对遗产规划的影响。

Why why do people spend as they do?
为什么人们会那样花钱?

Well, you know the question is, is what’s the most effective kind of spending?
嗯,你知道,问题在于什么是最有效的消费方式?

And I tend to think of a spending hierarchy the same way that I think of Nashua Pyne.
我倾向于像思考马斯洛需求层次那样思考消费层次。

Okay.
好的。

And it’s not really a question of hierarchy of needs.
这其实不是需求层次的问题。

It’s a question of high arch of of adaptations.
而是适应层次的问题。

So what are we adapt to the fastest in terms of our material, terms of our consumption?
那么,在物质和消费方面,我们适应得最快的是什么?

What’s material consumption?
什么是物质消费?

Okay.
好的。

And get used to driving a Beamer or flying first class.
习惯开宝马或坐头等舱。

And the thrill very quickly fade.
那种兴奋感很快就会消退。

We adapt to the fastest of material purchase.
我们对物质购买的适应最快。

Next up is something that people call the talk.
接下来是人们所说的体验。

A lot of these days, which is experiences, we don’t adapt quite as quickly to experiences, but we still we certainly do you know we get used to the nice hotel, we get get to to to the travel.
如今很多人谈论体验,我们对体验的适应没有那么快,但我们仍然会适应,你知道,我们会习惯好酒店,习惯旅行。

We get to spending a lot of time with with family.
我们会花很多时间和家人在一起。

The third thing, the third step up from that, which we adapt to much more slowly, is autonomy.
第三件事,比那更高一级,我们适应得更慢的,是自主性。

Oh, I think this is the pocket and I think I can cultural of money and if that is one of the best purchases and that is is autonomy and there is there is still another level even above and which is something Jonathan wrote in one of the columns or one of the chapters in the book, which and is something we don’t think about.
哦,我认为这是关键,我认为金钱文化中最好的购买之一就是自主性,而且还有一个更高的层次,这是乔纳森在书中某一专栏或某一章中写到的,这是我们没有考虑到的。

We think about the utility of purchases, but what we don’t think about is the negative utility of money.
我们考虑购买的效用,但我们没有考虑金钱的负效用。

What do I mean by that?
我这么说是什么意思?

I mean, worrying about money.
我的意思是,为钱担忧。

When you ask people, in particularly retirees, what they worry about.
当你问人们,尤其是退休人员,他们担心什么。

Number one is their health, but then the next five or six items all boiled down to not having enough money to pay fer rent, groceries, pain for medical expenses, you for the travel, they want to do all that sort of thing.
第一是健康,但接下来的五六项都归结为没有足够的钱来支付房租、 groceries、医疗费用、他们想做的旅行等等。

And so the biggest diuck late of money is worrying about money.
所以金钱最大的负效用就是为钱担忧。

And the nice thing about a about having a lot of money, and probably the best, best thing about
