For example, my poor dad always said, I'll never be rich.
比如我的窮爸爸總會說:我永遠不會富有
And that prophecy became reality.
然而這一預言也終成未現實。
My rich dad, on the other hand, always referred to himself as rich.
而我的富爸爸總是把他當成是很富有的人
He would say things like, I'm a rich man, and rich people don't do this.
他會說"我是個有錢人,有錢人不會做這種事"等等類似的話
Even when he was flat broke after a major financial setback,
盡管他在一次財政挫折之后變得身無分文。
he continued to refer to himself as a rich man.
可他依然把自己當作一個富人
He would cover himself by saying,
他會給自己找借口說
There is a difference between being poor and being broke
窮和破產之間是有區別的
Broke is temporary, and poor is eternal.
破產只是暫時的,而窮卻是永遠的
My poor dad would also say, I'm not interested in money, or Money doesn't matter.
我的窮爸爸總說:我對錢不感興趣,錢不重要
My rich dad always said, Money is power.
而富爸爸則總說:錢就是力量
