华莱士·沃特尔斯:致富的科学·摘录 66

华莱士·沃特尔斯《致富的科学》· The Science of Getting Rich · 投资

I recall now the case of one student who was told that he must get in mind a clear picture of the things he desired, so that the creative thought of them might be impressed on Formless Substance. He was a very poor man, living in a rented house, and having only what he earned from day to day; and he could not grasp the fact that all wealth was his. So, after thinking the matter over, he decided that he might reasonably ask for a new rug for the floor of his best room, and an anthracite coal stove to heat the house during the cold weather. Following the instructions given in this book, he obtained these things in a few months; and then it dawned upon him that he had not asked enough. He went through the house in which he lived, and planned all the improvements he would like to make in it; he mentally added a bay window here and a room there, until it was complete in his mind as his ideal home; and then he planned its furnishings.

白话

作者讲了一个学生的例子:这人很穷,租房住,靠每天挣的钱过活,被告知要在心里清楚画出想要的东西,好让创造性的思想印在“无形物质”上。他觉得自己不可能拥有全部财富,想来想去,只敢要一张新地毯和一只取暖的无烟煤炉。照书里的方法做,几个月后他真得到了;然后他才醒悟:自己当初要得太少。于是他走遍整座房子,规划想做的改造,在心里加凸窗、加房间,直到把房子想成理想的家,再规划家具。这说明:先把愿望放大到具体、完整的画面,别一开始就把自己限死。

上下文

同书,作者用这个学生的真实案例说明:愿望太小会限制结果,要敢于把理想生活想完整。

今日一问

如果你现在只敢要“一点点”,能不能试着把理想生活完整地想一遍,再写下第一个具体目标?
