中英双语 | 《穷人思维正在毁掉你》:你越来越穷的原因!
罗伯特·T·清崎(Robert Toru Kiyosaki),日裔美国人,《富爸爸,穷爸爸》的作者。这是一本连续数年都稳居《纽约时报》畅销书榜,被翻译成 50 多种语言,卖出几千万册的经典财商书籍。
在这个视频中,罗伯特阐述了他的观点:真正让人们贫穷的,不是出身或是环境,而是人们头脑中的穷人思维。思维模式,才是一个人越来越穷的原因。想要让自己富起来,首先就要改变自己的穷人思维。
The school system is actually teaching people to be poor!
学校体系实际上是在教导人们做个穷人。
The school system will never teach you about money! The school system was designed to teach you to be an employee, or a doctor, or a lawyer, a specialist, but never about money!
学校体系永远也不会教你关于钱的问题。学校体系是教你如何做一个打工的人,或者是医生、律师、专家,但是从来不谈钱。
My father was the head of education, phd and all that stuff. I’d go home and ask him”why don’t we learn about money in school?” And he looked at me and says “Because the government doesn’t let us teach that, subject. The government tells us what we can teach and what we can’t teach.” And I thought that was strange and I said ”but aren’t we going to school to learn about money?” He says “NO! Your job is to get a job!”
我父亲是博士以及所有教职工的教育主管。我回家问他:“我们为什么不在学校里学习关于钱的知识呢?“他看着我说:“因为政府不让我们教那门课。政府告诉我们应该教什么,我们不能教什么。“我觉得这很奇怪,就问:“我们去学校不就是要学习如何赚钱的吗?他说:不是!你的任务就是找份工作。”
Poverty is passed on, it’s taught in your families. And middle class it taught in families. And so the people right now, who are sitting at home, who are struggling financially or are worried about money, or are unhappy… They may be making a lot of money, but are unhappy with what they’re doing…It was probably taught to you. Your super ego was taught” get a job, work hard!” Or “you’ll never be rich”, or “The rich are evil”. Whatever!
贫穷在你的家族里蔓延,中产阶级也在家族中传递。所以现在的人,那些坐在家里的人,那些在金钱上挣扎、为钱发愁,不快乐的的人,他们可能赚到钱了,但是对他们所做的工作并不满意......这可能是别人教你的,你的超我被教育“找份工作,努力!”或者“你永远富不起来“或者”富人都是魔鬼“。
(Until you change your mindset, money won’t help you, right? And we see that with people that win the lottery, people that make more money, they still have the same problem, because they have that poor man soul. correct! )
(直到你改变你的思维方式,金钱帮不了你,对吧?当我们看到中彩票的人,赚更多钱的人,他们仍然有同样的问题,因为他们还是穷人思想。)
If you’re poor, you’ll always be poor. That’s really hard for people to understand.
如果你是穷人,你就一直都是,很少人能明白这一点。
Yes! The money will disappear that fast! Just like with most pro athletes. They make millions of dollars and 65% are bankrupt 5 years later. Because they come form poor families. Now you tell them that and they get very angry at you. “It’s the rich fault!” You guys ripped me off! The government ripped me off!
是的,钱会消失得很快就像很多职业运动员一样,他们转了数百万美元,有65%的人其实五年之后就破产了,因为他们都来自穷人家庭。你这么告诉他们,他们就会冲你发火:“都是富人的错!你们骗了我!政府骗了我!“
But, unfortunately, what mister Lipton was saying, it’s passed down genetically.
但是,不幸的是,利普顿先生所说,这是基因的错。
The moment I pay you, you think like an employee. that’s the trap! Entrepreneurs work for free. The moment you accept the paycheck, your brain goes dead. As long as you’re hungry you’ll think.
我付你钱的那一刻,你思考的角度就局限在打工者的角度了。这就是陷阱!企业家的思维是开拓而自由的。一旦你接受了薪水,大脑就会停止思考。就像只要你饿了,大脑就不会想别的。
You see, people say“well, why don’t you give the poor money?” The only problem with that is it creates more poor people!(Give a man a fish, he fishes for the day or eats for the day. )Ye, you give a man a fish, you get a lot of people who want more fish. But you teach them to fish.
人们说:“那你为什么不给穷人钱?“这样做最大的问题就是,这会让穷人越来越多。(给一个人一条鱼,他就会天天等着那条鱼,或者吃了)是的,你给人一条鱼,会有更多的人想要你给他们鱼。但是你教他们怎么钓鱼。
(But you are the Robin Hood of knowledge, because I see you giving this knowledge out and do the rich people cringe and say”don’t tell them that, Robert!”)
(你是知识界的意见领袖。因为我看见你一直在传授一些思维与知识。那富人们会不会感到不安,对你说:“别告诉他们,罗伯特!”)
Yes, yes. “Don’t tell people what you know. Keep them poor.” Poor will always be amongst us because it starts up here. It’s in their words and their words become flesh. But when they say “I can’t afford it”, or”I can’t do that!”, they go down.
当然,当然。别告诉大众你知道的那些知识,就让他们穷着吧。贫穷永远在我们身边,因为每个人都是从贫穷开始的。这种观点会从一个想法变成血淋淋的现实。当他们说“我付不起”或者“我做不到!”时,他们就被打败了。
They become what they say. I meet so many people,”I can’t afford it! you think I’m made up of money?” My PHD daddy says “what do you think I am, made up of money? I can’t afford that!”
他们变成了自己最害怕的那种人,穷人。我看见过许多会说“我付不起”的人,你以为我有钱?我的博士父亲也会说,你觉得我是谁?有钱人吗?我付不起!“
And my rich dad would say “that’s why he’s poor.” Poor people say “I can’t afford it, I can’t do that. I don’t have time.” Because it is an escape! It’s an escape! It’s easy to say “I can’t afford it!” Or “I am too tired.” Or “I can’t go to the gym!” When you could go to the gym, but “no, I can’t!” The truth is that “I’m just to lazy to go to the gym.”
但是我的富爸爸就会说,这就是他穷的原因。穷人说”我付不起“。”我做不到“”我没有时间。“因为这是一种逃避,是逃避。说“我付不起”是很容易的事。或者说“我太累了”,“我去不起健身房。”当你有钱办一张健身卡时,你也会找借口说,“不,我拒绝。“事实是“我只是懒得去。”
(And you play it safe and you don’t introduce new risks into your life and so… )I have job secured. Right.
(你小心翼翼的生活,不想给生活带来任何风险。)我有稳定的工作,有可靠的保障就够了。
(And your rich dad used to say what, instead of “I can’t afford it!”? )How can I afford it? How can I do that? What would it take me? Or why should I do that? A question opens the mind, a statement closes the mind. So when you say “I can’t afford it!” Your mind shuts down and you become what you say.
(你的富爸爸会说什么呢?反正不是“我付不起!“)我怎样才能付得起呢?我应该怎么做呢?需要我付出什么呢?我为什么要这么做呢?疑问句会打开你的思维,陈述句会终结你的可能性。所以当你的说“我付不起”时,你的思维就被封闭了。你就成了你所说的那样。
People say “money is not that important to me!” Then if money is not that import to you, money is not important to you! “I don’t care about money!” The money doesn’t care about you! The world does become flesh! Or “I’ll never be rich!” Or the favorite one is “the rich are greedy!”
人们说:“钱对我来说没那么重要!“那么如果钱对你没那么重要,那么你对它也不会有多么重要。“我不在乎钱!“钱也不会在乎你!一语成谶。或者是“我永远也不可能富起来!“或者广为流传的一句话:“富人很贪婪!”
It’s the poor that are greedy, if you think about it because to be rich, you have to give something. I had to produce books and games and I purchased real estate, I provide housing, I provide jobs and all that and that’s why I’m rich.
其实是穷人很贪婪。如果你想一想。因为要有钱,你就得付出些什么。我必须要写书,或者开发游戏。我购置房产,提供住房和工作,那也是我有钱的原因。
But greedy people produce nothing!”oh, no, it’s the rich that are greedy!” And I’m going “hey, sports fans, you point a finger forward, three are pointing backwards” and so, as we know, there’s a big attitude problem against the rich today.‘
但是贪婪的人什么都不生产。“哦,不,是有钱人贪婪“。我会说,嗨大家,当你把一根手指往前,有三根就是指向后方的。正如我们所知,现在人们对有钱人存在太多的仇富心理。
We all have fear! To be truth, we all have fear, it’s just how you deal with it! Einstein said “imagination is more important than knowledge, but knowledge empowers imagination.“ And what most people like is real business knowledge, like accounting, like debt, like taxes. You got to know that stuff, but they don’t teach it in school, to anybody.
说实话,我们都有恐惧!只是你如何处理。爱因斯坦说,想象力比知识重要。但是知识赋予想象力力量。大多数人缺乏的是真正的商业知识,比如会计、债务、税收。你必须得知道。但是在学校,他们谁也不教。
People who are afraid of making mistakes, like they teach in school, they don’t ever grow! Because spirituality is “there is good and there is bad. There is right and there is wrong. There is up and there is down.”Most people only want to be right, or they only want to be positive. Well you can’t have that! That’s not reality!
人们害怕犯错,就像他们在学校所学的那样,他们没有成长过!因为精神有好的,也有坏的,有对的,也有错的,有向上的,也有向下的。大多数人只想正确,或者只想积极。你不可能拥有这些的!因为那不是现实!
Every time I failed, I was like “ok, good. What have I learned?” And the average person, the reason they’re poor is they haven’t failed. They play it so safe, they haven’t made any mistakes like they where taught in school. That means they don’t learn anything! That’s why the school system is . Actually fundamentally corrupt. It’s anti-education!
每次我失败了,我会想说“好吧,我学到了什么呢?”而普通人,他们穷的原因是因为他们没有失败过,他们如此谨慎,他们没有犯过任何错误,正如在学校接受的教育。这也意味着他们什么都没有学到。这就是为什么学校系统从根本上是腐败的,是反教育的。
And I think, what most people do is they let their parents, or their friends talk them out of life! We’re so afraid of failing, but failing is how we succeed! Our schools punish you for making mistakes. And that’s why we have so many people who are afraid of admitting they’re making mistakes, or are afraid of failing!
我觉得大部分人所做的是让他们的父母或者朋友说服他们逃避生活。我们太害怕失败,但是失败是成功之母。我们的学校会因为犯错而惩罚我们,也就是为什么那么多人,他们那么害怕承认他们在犯错或者害怕失败!
