"Most people recognize the benefits of individuality, but the fact is that personal economic success requires conformity."
虽然大多数人都承认个人的利益,但是事实上个人的经济成功需要的是一致。

1. Regarding the sort of economic success that results from investing one’s wealth, the principles of investing dictate that those who seek risky investments in areas that are out of favor with the majority of investors ultimately reap higher returns than those who follow the crowd.
2. Turning to the sort of economic success that one achieves by way of one’s work, neither conformists nor non-conformists necessarily achieve greater success than the other group.
3. However, in traditional service industries—such as finance, accounting, insurance, legal services, and health care—personal economic success comes not to non-conformist but rather to those who can work most effectively within the constraints of established practices, policies and regulations.

145. "A crucial test of character is whether one is able to adapt to changing social conventions without sacrificing one's principles."

How to confront changing social conventions is a crucial challenge to one’s character.
1. Those who can adapt to the changing social conventions such as economic climate without sacrificing their principles are more likely to succeed.
2. However, an even more praiseworthy character is one who is willing to change his principles to adapt to the changing situations when those principles are out of date.
