华莱士·沃特尔斯:致富的科学·摘录 65
华莱士·沃特尔斯《致富的科学》· The Science of Getting Rich · 投资
This is a difficult point with most people; they retain something of the old idea that poverty and self-sacrifice are pleasing to God. They look upon poverty as a part of the plan, a necessity of nature. They have the idea that God has finished His work, and made all that He can make, and that the majority of men must stay poor because there is not enough to go around. They hold to so much of this erroneous thought that they feel ashamed to ask for wealth; they try not to want more than a very modest competence, just enough to make them fairly comfortable.

白话
很多人卡在这里:他们多少还留着旧观念,觉得贫穷和自我牺牲才讨上帝喜欢,把贫穷看成计划的一部分、自然的必然。他们还以爲上帝已经完工,能造的都造完了,东西不够分,所以大多数人只能穷。因为这种错误想法太深,他们甚至羞于求富,只敢要一点刚够温饱的“小康”。要改的是这个底层信念:财富不是固定的一块饼,求富也不等于贪婪。你可以先承认自己值得过更好的生活,再把愿望定得比“勉强够用”大一点,然后按正确方式去行动。

同书,作者批评当时流行的观念:把贫穷和牺牲视为美德,认为资源有限、多数人注定穷。
今日一问
你心里有没有“要太多会不好意思”的念头?如果把它放下,你会把目标定得比现在大多少?
