10 Reasons Why It’s Ok To Prosper

　　允許我們走向繁榮的10個理由

　　As the son of a clergyman, I am familiar with the Bible phrase, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” The phrase has been widely quoted by authors, speakers and religious leaders to warn us about what can happen when we place too much emphasis on money.

　　作為一個牧師的兒子,我熟悉圣經(jīng)的話,“愛財是萬惡之源。”一詞被廣泛作家引用,當我們過于重視金錢，演說家和宗教領(lǐng)袖警告我們會發(fā)生什么。

　　Yes, I believe the love of money can be the root to evil for some people, but let’s face it; there is a lot of evil that has nothing to do with money.

　　是的,對一些人來說，我相信愛財是萬惡之源,但讓我們面對現(xiàn)實吧,有很多邪惡與金錢無關(guān)。

　　I certainly realize you can have all the money in the world and not be happy and I’m aware that success is not measured by money alone. But prosperity is an admirable goal. The real issues are people’s reasons for acquiring money and what they do with it, not whether having it is right or wrong.

　　我當然知道你可以擁有世界上所有的錢卻不高興,我知道成功不是用金錢來衡量。但是繁榮是一個令人欽佩的目標。真正的問題是人們獲得金錢和他們所做的事情,是否它是對還是錯。

　　In this lesson I want to bring your attention to 10 reasons why prosperity should be viewed positively.

　　在這節(jié)課中我想把你的注意力到10個為什么繁榮被積極看待的原因。

　　1. Who You Become—A favorite quote of mine by my mentor Jim Rohn, “When you become a millionaire it’s not the million dollars that makes you valuable, it’s who you become in the process,” speaks to the importance of personal growth. When you consistently stretch yourself to do your very best, you grow, your value to the market is increased and you’re self-worth as well as your self-confidence become treasured realities.

　　你成為你最喜歡的，我的推薦是我的導師吉姆·羅恩,“當你成為一個百萬富翁，不是數(shù)百萬美元使你有價值,而是使你成為富翁的過程,“談及個人成長的重要性。當你一直讓自己做到最好,你成長,你的市場價值增加,你自我價值以及自信成為現(xiàn)實財富。

　　2. Help Those In Need—One of the greatest joys in life for my wife and me is to help those who are less fortunate in our local community and in third world countries. We particularly feel an aching in our hearts for orphans and today our family sponsors a community of more than 50 children in Swaziland. How would you feel if you had extra money to help those who break your heart?

　　幫助那些有需要的人--在我們的當?shù)厣鐓^(qū)和在第三世界國家，我和妻子在生活中最大的樂趣是去幫助那些不幸的人。我們特別為孤兒感受我們心中的痛,今天我們家在斯威士蘭的社區(qū)贊助商50多個孩子。你怎么覺得如果你有額外的錢去幫助那些人會傷了你的心?

　　3. You Will Become More Respected—As you grow and develop your skills, habits and personal character, those around you will look to you with respect and admiration. As people’s respect for you grows, so will your influence and usefulness as a leader. I have to believe the life of someone who is deeply respected is better than the life of someone who is not.

　　你會變得更加受到尊重---在你的成長和發(fā)展你的技能,習慣和個性過程中,你周圍的人將會尊重和仰慕你。隨著人們的仰慕你,你的領(lǐng)導影響力和作用將擴大。我不得不相信十分受尊重的生活人比人不受尊重要好。

　　4. You Will Be An Example To Your Children—If you will strive for excellence in doing the little things to help you advance up the pay scale in your chosen occupation, you will be a great example for your children. After all, your example is likely the #1 influencing factor in their lives.

　　你將為小孩以身試教---將追求卓越的微公益幫助你提前支付在你選擇的職業(yè)中規(guī)模,你將為你的孩子一個很好的楷模。畢竟,你的例子可能是他們的生活中第一個影響因素。

　　5. Your Influence on People’s Lives—As your influence grows, people will look to you and follow the example you set, which can be very rewarding and fulfilling. Remember, as a leader when you do the little things to get better, everyone you lead gets better.

　　你對人們的影響——正如你的影響力的增長,人們會看你和效仿你,可以非常有益的和充實。記住,作為一個領(lǐng)導者,當你做小的事情變得更好,所有你變得更好。

　　6. Children’s Education—The cost of education in America is on the rise each year. The more money you make, the better able you will be to provide educational opportunities for your children. Would providing the best possible education for your children bring greater satisfaction to your life?

　　在美國教育孩子的教育成本是每年都在上升。你賺的錢越多,能更好地你將為你的孩子提供教育機會。為你的孩子提供最好的教育難道不能給你的生活帶來更大的滿足感?

　　7. Reduces Financial Pressure—How would you feel if you never had to worry about your finances? Would your stress level be different? The number one source of tension in a marriage is finances. Would you be able to improve your relationship with your spouse? For those of you who are struggling financially, what would an extra $100,000 do for your peace of mind?

　　你會減少金融壓力--如果你從來沒有擔心你的經(jīng)濟狀況你感覺如何?你的壓力會不同嗎?在婚姻中第一個關(guān)系緊張的是財政緊張。難道你不能改善你和你的配偶之間的關(guān)系?對于你們中那些奮斗在經(jīng)濟邊緣,將一個額外的100000美元難道不能撫慰你心靈的平靜嗎?

　　8. Better Health—There are countless studies that show a clear link between money and health. Affluent people tend to eat better foods, take nutritional supplements, and exercise with greater consistency (using the same discipline that allowed them to succeed in their business or occupation).

　　更健康-這兒有無數(shù)研究表明一個錢和健康之間的確切聯(lián)系。富裕的人們傾向于吃更好的食物,營養(yǎng)補充劑,運動與更大的一致性(使用相同的紀律使他們的商業(yè)或職業(yè)成功)。

　　9. Retire Early—If you can save enough money to live off the income of your investments, you can choose to retire early to travel, enjoy life’s experiences and pursue your passion. While early retirement is not for everyone, having enough money to make the choice is attractive.

　　???

　　10. Quality of Life—Money can afford you a better quality of life. I am typing this post in my home office overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. It is beautiful! There is no doubt the beauty of the Gulf and the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach brings me great enjoyment and reminds me of the gratitude I have for the quality of life I am able to experience.

　　10.生活的質(zhì)量--金錢可以讓你擁有更好的生活質(zhì)量。當我在家庭辦公室一邊打這篇文章時，一邊俯瞰墨西哥灣。它是如此美麗!毫無疑問，美麗的海灣,撞在海灘上海浪的聲音，帶給我極大的快樂，提醒我，必須感恩，現(xiàn)在我能體驗這么棒的生活質(zhì)量。

　　I believe thinking negatively about money is an unproductive belief and as long as you think that way, so will go the course of your life. I believe God wants us to give our very best to what we do and who we become and if we earn a lot of money in the process, so much the better. We can use that money to improve our lives and the lives of our family and through our charitable giving we can impact the lives of those who are less fortunate.

　　我相信負面思考金錢，是無價值的信念,只要你覺得這樣,所以你生命的軌跡也會這樣。我相信神要我們做事做到最好，成為最好的人,如果在這個過程中，我們賺到很多錢,那就更好了。我們可以用這些錢，來改善我們的生活，我們家庭的生活，通過我們的慈善捐贈，可以對那些不太幸運的人們的生活，施加自己的影響。

　　I challenge you to make a commitment that you will stretch yourself to become the person who will attract more money into your life through your hard work, discipline and wise decisions.

　　我向你提出挑戰(zhàn)，對自己做出承諾,通過你的努力工作、自律和明智的決定，你會全力以赴，竭盡全力，成為那種會吸引更多的資金進入你生活的人。
