自考英语(二)The Importance of Money in Life

What were you taught about money as you were growing up ? Something like"money doesn't grow on trees", or "money is the root of all evil", or maybe "all rich people are greedy"?

在你成长的过程中关于钱是怎样的?比如说“钱不是从天上掉下来的”,或者“金钱是万恶之源”,或者说“所有的富人都是贪婪的”?

Well how do you expect to become a success financially if you believe these things ? You attract into your life what you are thinking about and what and what you believe. If you think there is not enough money in this world for everyone you will never have enough money. That is called the Law of Attraction.

如果你相信了这些你又如何成为一个在经济上成功的人?你只能把你所想的和所相信的带进你的生活。如果你认为这个世界上没有足够的钱满足每一个人,那么你也不会拥有足够的钱。这就叫做吸引力法则。

First of all, believing that"money doesn't grow on trees" is an example of what's called lack or scarcity programming. Our parents taught us that there was never enough money to go around, and that it was not readily available or abundant. But in truth, the universe is very abundant, and there is lots of money to go around for everyone. Just think what you could do if you have as much money as your heart desires. What wonderful things you could do with it: travel to the countries you have always dream of, buy a house you are even scared to think about, attend meditation classes so you could spiritually grow, donate money to your favorite charity, spend more quality time with your family, and the list goes on.

首先,相信“钱不是从天上掉下来的”这个说法是一个缺少或规划不足的例证。我们的父母告诉我们说没有足够的钱,并且它也不是唾之可得和用之不竭的。但是事实上,宇宙万物是非常丰富的,有大量的金钱可以分配到每个人。想一想,如果你拥有内心想要的一样多的钱,你会做一些怎样美妙的事情:去你梦想的国家旅游、买一个曾经想都不敢想的房子、参加禅修的课程得到心灵的成长、捐给你最喜欢的慈善机构、花费更多黄金时光和家人在一起等等,你可以照着你的清单一件件继续。

The key is to start thinking that you deserve the money and that there is lots of it available for you, and then you can start attracting it into your life. That's abundance thinking , which is the opposite of lack or scarcity thinkg. When you start thinking about the abundance the Law of Attraction will do the rest. You do not need to know how it is goin to happen Just make the first step, first thought. Starting is already winning.

关键是起心动念去想,你值得拥有金钱,并且有大量的金钱可以提供给你,然后你才能把这些吸引到你的生活。这些丰富的想法,是缺乏和不足想法的反面。当你开始这样反复去想的时候,吸引力法则会做完剩下的事情。你不需要知道这一切是如何发生的,只需要走出第一步,开始第一个念头。开始即意味着赢得。

And what about thinking that"money is the root of all evil"? Can you really expect to become a success if you believe that money is the root of all evil ? Unless you have a desire to be an evil person, your subconscious will not let you have money if you believe deep down that it is the root of all evil.

如何去看待“钱是万恶之源”这个说法?如果你相信钱是万恶之源又如何期待自己成为一个成功人士?除非你想成为一个邪恶的人,如果你从本质上认定它是万恶之源,你的潜意识不会让你拥有金钱。

By the way, that quote is taken out of context in the first place. It was originally stated as "the love of money is the root of all evil". So it has nothing to do with the money itself.

另外,这个说法的引用是从最初的断章取义而来。它的原话是“爱钱是万恶之源”,所以你看,其实和钱没什么关系。

Now that you understand that, you can start to think that money is in fact good. You can help people with money. You can stimulate the economy with money. Even the most kind-hearted spiritual person, who says they don’t need money, can do more to make the world a better place with money than without it.

既然你理解了这些,你也就可以认为钱实际上是好的。你可以用钱来帮助人们,你可以用钱来刺激经济发展。即使是最具善心的人,那些说自己不需要金钱的人,有钱也比没钱更能使这个世界变得更好。

And what about thinking that"all rich people are greedy"? Well, that creates us versus them, whereby you have labeled all of "them" greedy in your mind. You, on the other hand, are very giving in your mind. That's why you don't have money, because you're not greedy.

那么,又怎样去理解“有钱人都是贪婪的”这句话?首先,这是把我们放在有钱人对立面,由于你心里给“他们”贴上贪婪的标签,而你自己在另一方,是积极给予的一方。这也是为什么你没有钱,因为你不贪婪。

Sure, there must be some rich people in the world who are greedy. But there are also poor people who are greedy. There are both rich and poor people who are ery giving as well. The amount of money you have has nothing to do with these character traits.

当然,这个世界是确实有一些有钱人是贪婪的,但是也有一些贪婪的穷人。穷人和富人两者中都有一些是乐于付出的,你拥有多少金钱和这这些人性特质毫无关系。

In fact, a lot of rich people got there by not being greedy. Having a giving attitude opens up a flow of money that often brings them more. You will find the same thing: give away money joyfully to a friend, and notice that it comes back to you in some other form. The world needs to be a balance of give and take, and being joyful both as you give and receive will ensure that you always go with the flow.

事实上,很多有钱人走到今天的地位并不是因为贪婪。拥有一个付出的态度让金钱流通,常常给他们带来更多回报。你会发现同样的事情:把钱愉快地给予朋友,这些金钱将会通过别的方式再次回到你身边。这个世界需要保持付出和得到的平衡,当你愉悦地付出和接受会让金钱的流通一直跟着着你。

And changing your mindset from what you were taught as a child to a healthier view of money will allow you to become the financial success you deserve to be, to become the real you.

改变你在孩童时就被告知的观念,建立一个健康的金钱观会让你成为值得成为的经济成功的人,成为真正的你。
