Chapter 9 How to Use the Will.
第九章 神奇的意志力
TO set about getting rich in a scientific way, you do not try to apply your will power to anything outside of yourself.
要想通過科學的方法致富，首先，你應當明白，自己的意志力從來都不應該應用到除你以外的任何人或事情上。
Your have no right to do so, anyway.
事實上，你也根本沒有權力這樣做。
It is wrong to apply your will to other men and women, in order to get them to do what you wish done.
將你個人的意志力作用于其他任何人身上，讓他們聽從你的意愿，這樣的做法根本就是錯誤的。
It is as flagrantly wrong to coerce people by mental power as it is to coerce them by physical power. If compelling people by physical force to do things for you reduces them to slavery, compelling them by mental means accomplishes exactly the same thing; the only difference is in methods. If taking things from people by physical force is robbery, them taking things by mental force is robbery also; there is no difference in principle.
利用心理作用或思想去影響，糾正他人的行為或思想，強奸他人的意志，與從身體上脅迫要挾他人一樣，都是錯誤至極的做法。通過心理因素扭曲他人的思想，與利用身體或其他物質方面的優勢強迫他人為你做事幾乎沒有任何區別，都是將他人降格為你的奴隸的錯誤舉止。這兩者之間唯一的差別就在于方式的不同。如果我們將硬生生地把原本屬于他人的物品據為已有的行為稱之為搶劫，那么，通過意志或思想的力量獲取他人財物的行為同樣是搶劫。從本質上來說，這兩種行為都是一樣的。
You have no right to use your will power upon another person, even "for his own good"; for you do not know what is for his good. The science of getting rich does not require you to apply power or force to any other person, in any way whatsoever. There is not the slightest necessity for doing so; indeed, any attempt to use your will upon others will only tend to defeat your purpose.
你根本沒有權利將自己的思想強加于他人，即使你是出于“為了他好”的目的，也不行！因為，你根本無法成為他，既然如此，你又如何能夠知道這樣做是為了他好呢？本書所倡導的致富的科學，從來都沒有要求你將自己的力量或權力，以任何方式作用在其他任何人身上，因為無論從哪一個方面來說，要想致富，都根本無須這樣做。事實上，任何試圖將自己的思想或意志強加于他人的企圖最終都是要失敗的。
You do not need to apply your will to things, in order to compel them to come to you.
同樣的，你也無須為了得到某些事物而將自己的思想或意志作用在它們之上。
That would simply be trying to coerce God, and would be foolish and useless, as well as irreverent.
這樣做無異于試圖強迫宇宙能量幫助你完成心愿，而這樣愚蠢且不敬的做法對幫助你完成心愿根本不會產生任何作用。
You do not have to compel God to give you good things, any more than you have to use your will power to make the sun rise.
你根本沒必要強迫生活賜予你那些美好的事物。這就好比你根本無須每天祈求上天讓太陽照常升起一一樣，因為，這一規律根本，從來，絕對不會因為你的意志而改變。
You do not have to use your will power to conquer an unfriendly deity, or to make stubborn and rebellious forces do your bidding.
所以，你也根本無須用自己的意志力去戰勝某一個不友好的神靈，或是依靠自己的意志力固執已見，堅持某種反叛的思想。
Substance is friendly to you, and is more anxious to give you what you want than you are to get it.
宇宙間所有的物質對你都很友好。在幫助你得到那些你想要的東西這件事情上，它們比你更加迫不及待。
To get rich, you need only to use your will power upon yourself.
因此，要想獲取夢想中的財富，你需要做的僅僅是用意志力管好你自己。
When you know what to think and do, then you must use your will to compel yourself to think and do the right things. That is the legitimate use of the will in getting what you want - to use it in holding yourself to the right course. Use your will to keep yourself thinking and acting in the Certain Way.
當你知道自己該如何去思考，該如何去行動之后，你就必須用意志力強迫自已按照正確的方式去思考、去行動。這也是惟一一種你能夠利用自身意志力去幫助自已獲取財富的方式一用它將自已固定在正確的軌道上，依靠它確保自已能夠按照E確的方式思考和行動。
Do not try to project your will, or your thoughts, or your mind out into space, to "act" on things or people.
千萬不要試圖將你的意志力，或者說你的思想，作用于除自已以外的任何人或事物上。
Keep your mind at home; it can accomplish more there than elsewhere.
你的思想就應該老老實實待在你的體內，而它也只有在那里才能夠最大限度地發揮自己的作用。
Use your mind to fom a mental image of what you want, and to hold that vision with faith and purpose; and use your will to keep your mind working in the Right Way.
用你的思想在腦海里勾畫出一幅藍圖，一幅包含了所有你夢想的藍圖，然后，請你在堅定信念和明確目標的同時，牢牢記住這幅圖畫，從而讓自己的思想可以在意志力的督促下沿著正確的軌道前進。
The more steady and continuous your faith and purpose, the more rapidly you will get rich, because you will make only POSITIVE impressions upon Substance; and you will not neutralize or offset them by negative impressions.
你的信念越堅定，目標越持久，你獲得財富的速度就會越快，因為這是獲取宇宙能量的惟一方法，也是惟一一種只會產生積極效應的行為方式。只有這樣，你可望獲得的財富在向你移動的過程中，才不會因為各種消極效應而受到限制或阻礙。
The picture of your desires, held with faith and pupose, is taken up by the Formless, and permeates it to great distances - throughout the universe, for all I know.
無形的智能物質，宇宙，將會全盤接受你的這幅關于欲望的藍圖，以及你用以支撐這幅藍圖的信念和目標，然后，他會將它們散播至宇宙間的每一個角落，滲入到我們所知道的每一件事物當中。
