　　The First Killer is Too Cold for Success

　　永遠別再自憐自賤

　　Why do I always try to cover my small accomplishments under blankets of words that make light of my work or excuses for my lack of ability? Worst of all, I have come to believe my excuses so that I willingly sell my days for pennies while consoling myself with thoughts that things could always be worse.

　　為什麼我總在試圖用言語來掩蓋自己的渺小，總在試圖為自己減輕負擔，又總在為自己的低能尋找託辭?糟糕的是，我似乎已經相信了自己編造的藉口，心安理得，得過且過，安慰自己“比上不足，比下有餘”。

　　It is time to study the reflection in my looking glass until I recognize that the most harmful enemy I have is myself. At last, in this magic moment, the veil of self-deceit is beginning to lift from my eyes. I am not a fool. Henceforth I will stand on my own feet and my terrible crutches of self-pity and self-contempt have been cast aside forever.

　　當我終於開始自我反省時，我意識到最可怕的敵人正是我自己。在那神奇的瞬間，自欺欺人的面紗從我眼前飄逝。我不是蠢人，從此我要靠自己的雙腳前行，永遠拋棄那自憐自賤的柺杖。

　　Never again will I pity or belittle myself.

　　我永遠不再自憐自賤。

　　Now I know that patience and time can do more than even strength and passion. The years of frustration are ready to be harvested. All that I have managed to accomplish, and all that I hope to accomplish, has been and will be by that plodding, patient, persevering process which builds the ant heap particle by particle, thought by thought, step by step.

　　我終於明白，耐心與時間甚至比力量與激情更為重要。年復一年的挫折將迎來收穫的季節。所有已經完成的或將要進行的，都少不了那孜孜不倦、鍥而不捨、堅忍不拔的拼搏過程。這種過程是一點一滴的積累，步步為營的拓展，循序漸進的成功。

　　Never again will I pity or belittle myself.

　　我永遠不再自憐自賤。

　　No longer will I look mournfully to the past. It will never return. Instead, with these success principles and vows, I will shape the present because it is mine and I will go forth to meet the mysterious future without fear, without doubt, with out de- spair. There is nothing I cannot achieve if I try.

　　我不再悲傷地追憶過去，過去的不會再來，在這些成功法則和誓言的啟示下，我把握現在，努力向前，去邂逅神奇的未來，沒有恐懼，沒有疑慮，沒有失望。對我而言，有志者事竟成。

　　Never again will I pity or belittle myself.

　　我永遠不再自憐自賤。

　　Why are you poor?

　　為什麼你是窮人?

　　Have an open mindset

　　放開你的心態吧。

　　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 school teacher says, “Ah put that game away. Study, study, study! You're wasting your time playing Monopoly.”

　　想要富有，最重要的便是擁有渴望致富的心態。我之所以這麼說，是因為還在我九歲玩“大富翁”的時候，就有這種渴望了。“大富翁”遊戲讓我找到了致富的祕訣。那時候，我那窮爸爸教書匠總跟我說：“把那玩意兒扔掉，給我好好學習!玩‘大富翁’簡直就是浪費時間!”

　　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.

　　而我的富爸爸則告訴我：“你必須放開眼界，找到遊戲的祕訣。祕訣就近在眼前啊。”我問：“那祕訣是什麼?”最後我發現祕訣就是——四棟綠房子、紅色旅館、四棟綠房子、紅色旅館。現在我成了有錢人，那是因為24歲以來我所做的就是——買四棟綠房子，全部售出再買一棟旅館，如此重複。所以，事實並不是只有讀書才能掙大錢。就按 “大富翁”遊戲的祕訣也能做到，真的。

　　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.

　　你要學會觀察別人是怎麼致富的。別去問窮人，窮人問不起。“呀，那太冒險了吧，還是別做了。別浪費錢去幹傻事兒，安穩點吧。“——這就是窮人的心態。而你得有一個開放的心態，要放開眼界。一旦你心態開闊，必將獲益匪淺。要是你鼠目寸光，自然什麼也得不到了。所以，我覺得開放的心態至關重要。

　　The difference between money and wealth

　　金錢與財富的區別

　　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.

　　其實，我並無薪水可領。我這輩子只幹過四年正經工作。而且，我也不喜歡那種領薪水的生活。中產階級和窮人渴望高薪優酬，他們自認為自己需要金錢;但因為沒有資產，他們算不上富有。你得明白：金錢與財富並不是一回事。而且，金錢永遠也不會讓你變得富有——但資產可以。我擁有許多大企業，擁有無數股票，做期權交易。而且我還有房地產——這些讓我富有。所以，不管我上不上班都能賺到鈔票。

　　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.

　　比爾·蓋茨一年也不過賺500000美金，而我掙得比他還多。話說回來，他的身價卻值400個億。其實我想說的是，收入、金錢與財富有很大的區別。正因為如此，我才一輩子都在購置資產、股票、房產，因為這些能真正致富——工作不行。在美國，富人越富是因為富人將這個祕訣傳給了後代。我的窮爸爸總說：“你得找個高薪的工作啊!”而我的富爸爸卻告訴我：“你要學會資產買賣!”看，區別出來了吧?

　　The biggest secret of success

　　成功的最大祕訣

　　Once there was a young man who came to ask Socrates how to learn philosophy. Socrates said nothing but took him along to a river. He suddenly pushed him into the river forcibly. At first the young man thought Socrates was kidding so he didn't take it to heart. But Socrates also jumped into the river and pulled his head into water desperately. At this time the young man was really scared, his instinct of living made him use all his strength lifting Socrates and climbed to the bank.

　　有一次，一個年輕人來找蘇格拉底，想要學習哲學。蘇格拉底一言不發，帶著他走到一條河邊，突然用力把他推進河裡。年輕人起先以為蘇格拉底在跟他開玩笑，並不在意。結果蘇格拉底也跳到水裡，並且拼命把他往水裡按。這下子，年輕人真的慌了，求生的本能令他拼盡全力將蘇格拉底掀開，爬到岸上。

　　The young man asked Socrates with puzzle why he did that, Socrates replied: "I just want to tell you whatever you do, do it with a determination to be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation. Only like that can you make a genuine achievement."

　　年輕人不解地問蘇格拉底為什麼要這樣做，蘇格拉底回答說：“我只想告訴你，做什麼事都必須有絕處求生那麼大的決心，才能獲得真正的成就。
