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,演說家和宗教領袖警告我們會發生什么。
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,但讓我們面對現實吧,有很多邪惡與金錢無關。
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--在我們的當地社區和在第三世界國家,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中規模,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。
