A student of this science had set his mind on making a certain business combination which seemed to him at the time to be very desirable,
每一個愿意將致富科學付諸實踐的人都必須按照書中所示，在腦海中繪制一幅夢想藍圖，然后設定目標，明確信念，
and he worked for some weeks to bring it about.
接著滿腔熱情地投入到實現夢想的行動中去。
When the crucial time came, the thing failed in a perfectly inexplicable way; it was as if some unseen influence had been working secretly against him.
如果當關鍵時刻來臨時他發現，事情并沒有按照他想像的那樣發展，自己的夢想不幸夭折了，可誰都不知道夭折的原因，就好像無形中有一股神秘的力量在阻止這一切的發生一樣。
He was not disappointed; on the contrary, he thanked God that his desire had been overruled, and went steadily on with a grateful mind.
這時候，凡是忠于自已信念的人都不會因為不利的現狀而感到一絲一毫的失落，相反，他還會對一直關注、幫助自己的幸運女神表達感恩之情，并沒有因為夢想的落空而有一絲怨恨和懊悔。緊接著，他便懷著感激之情繼續他的追夢之旅。
In a few weeks an opportunity so much better came his way that he would not have made the first deal on any account;
一段時間以后——也許是幾天，也許是幾周——出乎意外的事情發生了，一個更加有利的大好機會出現在他的面前。這樣的機會放在從前，他可是想都不敢想的啊！
and he saw that a Mind which knew more than he knew had prevented him from losing the greater good by entangling himself with the lesser.
直到這時，他才明白，原來，之前夢想的破滅和現在的意外驚喜全都出于自己的想法。神奇的宇宙知道他之前的夢想低估了自己的能力，要求得遠遠不夠，所以便做出了這樣的安排。不過，如果不是他在夢想一度受挫時仍然能夠堅持自已的信念和目標，始終懷有一顆感恩和上進的心，現在的他無論如何都無法品嘗到成功的甜美滋味。
That is the way every seeming failure will work out for you, if you keep your faith, hold to your purpose, have gratitude,
只要你也能像他那樣，秉持自己的信念和目標，懂得感恩，
and do, every day, all that can be done that day, doing each separate act in a successful manner.
在失敗時毫不氣餒，更不灰心，全力以赴地做好每天的工作，你也一樣能夠成為別人眼中的幸運兒。
When you make a failure, it is because you have not asked for enough; keep on, and a larger thing than you were seeking will certainly come to you. Remember this.
綜上所述，我們需要明白一個道理，我們的夢想行動有時候之所以會受挫或失敗，完全是因為我們當初為自已定的目標太低或要求得太少。所以，只要堅持下去，我們就一定會得到應有的回報，而這份回報當然會比當初要求得更多更好。這很重要，請務必牢記。
You will not fail because you lack the necessary talent to do what you wish to do.
你不會僅僅因為缺乏成就夢想的天賦或技能就失敗。
If you go on as I have directed, you will develop all the talent that is necessary to the doing of your work.
如果你能嚴格遵守書中的指示并且堅持下去，你就一定能夠培養和訓練出成就夢想所需的天賦和技能。
It is not within the scope of this book to deal with the science of cultivating talent; but it is as certain and simple as the process of getting rich.
至于如何培養和訓練技能，這已經超出了本書的內容范疇，不過，其本質卻與致富頗為相似,一樣的簡單，一樣的一目了然。
However, do not hesitate or waver for fear that when you come to any certain place you will fail for lack of ability;
因此，當我們決定為了夢想而努力時，千萬不要因為擔心自身能力不足，無法應對將來的各項事務或突發情況而感到害怕或猶豫。
keep right on, and when you come to that place, the ability will be furnished to you.
你需要做的就是堅持自己的夢想，永不放棄。這樣，等到事情真的發生時，你自然也就已經具備了處理它的能力。
The same source of Ability which enabled the untaught Lincoln to do the greatest work in government ever accomplished by a single man is open to you;
幾百年前，林肯憑借其杰出的個人能力，掀開了美國歷史的新篇章；幾百年后的今天，你也完全有能力成為第二個林肯，成為劃時代的大人物。現在，機會的大門已經為你敞開，
you may draw upon all the mind there is for wisdom to use in meeting the responsibilities which are laid upon you. Go on in full faith.
集中全部精力做好自己，對你而言，這就足夠了。讓我們現在就帶著夢想和信念啟程吧！
Study this book. Make it your constant companion until you have mastered all the ideas contained in it.
認真學習本書，并讓它始終陪伴你的左右，直到你已經完全掌握了書中的所有法則和觀點。
While you are getting firmly established in this faith, you will do well to give up most recreations and pleasure;
當你樹立了堅定的信念之后，腦海中的其他雜念自然就會消失得無影無蹤，
and to stay away from places where ideas conflicting with these are advanced in lectures or sermons.
同時，你也自然就會拒絕一切與自已信念相悖的思想和觀點，遠離那些可能宜講這些觀點和思想的場所。
Do not read pessimistic or conflicting literature, or get into arguments upon the matter. Do very little reading, outside of the writers mentioned in the Preface.
不要閱讀任何宣揚悲觀思想的文學作品，也不要涉足任何與此有關的爭辯。除了在序言中提到的作家外，盡量少涉獵。
Spend most of your leisure time in contemplating your vision, and in cultivating gratitude, and in reading this book.
你應該將更多的時間用于思考自己的夢想，構建未來的藍圖，培養感恩之心，還有，閱讀本書。
It contains all you need to know of the science of getting rich; and you will find all the essentials summed up in the following chapter.
本書中包含了所有與致富的科學有關的全部內容。我已經將全書的內容濃縮為一章，而你將在下一章當中體味到精華的魅力。
