华莱士·沃特尔斯:致富的科学·摘录 80
华莱士·沃特尔斯《致富的科学》· The Science of Getting Rich · 投资
It is not enough that you should have a wish to travel, see things, live more, etc. Everybody has those desires also. If you were going to send a wireless message to a friend, you would not send the letters of the alphabet in their order, and let him construct the message for himself; nor would you take words at random from the dictionary. You would send a coherent sentence; one which meant something. When you try to impress your wants upon Substance, remember that it must be done by a coherent statement; you must know what you want, and be definite.

白话
光有“想旅行、想见世面、想过得更好”这类愿望不够,因为人人都有。作者打了个比方:给朋友发无线电报,你不会把字母表按顺序发过去让他自己拼,也不会从字典里随便抓词,而是发一句意思连贯的话。同样,你想让宇宙的“物质”回应你的愿望,也得把愿望说成一句连贯、具体的话。所以你必须清楚自己到底要什么,不能含糊。做法是:把模糊的愿望改写成具体、可衡量的目标。
上下文
沃特尔斯用无线电报比喻人的愿望传递,强调愿望必须像电报一样清晰连贯,才能被“物质”接收。
今日一问
你现在的愿望,是模糊的“想有钱”,还是具体到能说清的一句话?
