一 : 励志英语文章:化渴望为财富的六大步骤
the method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, these:
first: fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. it is not sufficient merely to say "i want plenty of money." be definite as to the amount. (there is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter.)
second: determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (there is no such reality as "something for nothing.")
third: establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
forth: create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are read or not, to put this plan into action.
fifth: write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
sixth: read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. as you read--see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.
it is important that you follow the instructions described in these six steps. it is especially important that you observe, and follow the instructions in the sixth paragraph. you may complain that it is impossible for you to "see yourself in possession of money" before you actually have it. here is where a burning desire will come to you aid. if you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it. the object is to want money, and to become so determined to have it that you convince yourself you will have it.

化渴望为财富的方法,包含了如下的六大实际步骤:

二 : 英语励志文章:Why are you poor?
the most important thing to becoming rich for you is to have a mindset to want to become rich. the reason i saythat is this, is because i wanted to become rich when i played monopoly, that was, i was nine years old. the greatest formula for wealth is found on that board game. when i was nine years old my poor dad, the schoolteacher says, “ah put that game away. study, study, study! you're wasting your time playing monopoly.”
and my rich dad said the formula, “you must open your mind and see the formula right on monopoly.” he said, “it's right in front of you.” and i went, “what's the formula?” and finally i learned the formula is, four green houses, red hotel, four green houses, red hotel. today i'm a rich man because all i ever did since the time i was 24 years old was buy four green houses, sell them all, buy a red hotel, four green houses, red hotel. it is not, that you have to go to school to become rich. just play monopoly; four green houses, red hotel. that's it.
you must look at how people before you have become rich. do not talk to poor people. poor people will tell you, “oh it's too risky. don’t do that. don't take risk. save your money. play it safe.” that is a poor person's mindset. you must have an open mindset, open. and if you have an open mindset you will learn from everything.if you have a closed mindset you will learn from nothing. so i think that is the most important thing.
the difference between money and wealth
no, i don't have a salary. i only had a job four years in my life. i don’t want a salary. the middle class and poor, what they want is high income. they think they want money. but they have no wealth because they have no assets. you must know the difference between money and wealth but they're not the same same. money will never make you rich. this makes you rich. i have large companies. i have lots of stocks. i trade options. i have real estate, that's what makes me rich. so the money just comes in whether i work or not.
bill gates makes $500,000 a year. that's all. i make more than him. that's all he makes but he's worth 40 billion. i'm trying to tell you there is a very big difference between income, money and wealth. so i have spent my life buying assets, businesses, stocks, real estate, that’s what makes you rich, not a job. the reason the rich in america get richer is they pass this on to their kids. my poor dad always said, “high paying job, high paying job, high paying job.” and my rich dad said, “assets, assets, assets.” that's the difference.
三 : 英语励志文章:逆境
there is no better school than adversity. every defeat, every heartbreak, every loss, contains its own seed, its own lesson on how to improve my performance next time. never again will i contribute to my downfall by refusing to face the truth and learn from my past mistakes. because i know: gems cannot shine without polish, and i can not perfect myself without hardship.
now i know that there are no times in life when opportunity, the chance to be and do gathers so richly about my soul when it has to suffer cruel adversity. then everything depends on whether i raise my head or lower it in seeking help. whenever i am struck down, in the future, by any terrible defeat, i will inquire of myself, after the first pain has passed, how i can turn that adversity into good. what a great opportunity that moment may present……to take the bitter root i am holding and transform it into fragrant garden of flowers.
always will i seek the seed of triumph in every adversity.
译文:
逆境是一所最好的学校。每一次失败,每一次打击,每一次损失,都蕴育着成功的萌芽,都教会我在下一次有更出色的表现。我再也不会逃避现实,也不会拒绝从以往的错误中获取经验,我不再因此而促成自己的失败。因为我知道,宝玉不经磨砺就不能发光,没有,我也不能完善自我。
现在我知道,灵魂倍受煎熬的时刻,也正是生命中最多选择与机会的时刻。任何事情的成败取决于我在寻求帮助时是抬起头还是低下头。无论何时,当我被可怕的失败击倒,在最初的阵痛过去之后,我都要想方设法将苦难变成好事。伟大的机遇就在这一刻闪现-这苦涩的根必将迎来满园芬芳!
