10 Reasons Why It’s Ok To Prosper
允许我们走向繁荣的10个理由
As the son of a clergyman, I am familiar with the Bible phrase, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” The phrase has been widely quoted by authors, speakers and religious leaders to warn us about what can happen when we place too much emphasis on money.
作为一个牧师的儿子,我熟悉圣经的话,“爱财是万恶之源。”一词被广泛作家引用,当我们过于重视金钱，演说家和宗教领袖警告我们会发生什么。
Yes, I believe the love of money can be the root to evil for some people, but let’s face it; there is a lot of evil that has nothing to do with money.
是的,对一些人来说，我相信爱财是万恶之源,但让我们面对现实吧,有很多邪恶与金钱无关。
I certainly realize you can have all the money in the world and not be happy and I’m aware that success is not measured by money alone. But prosperity is an admirable goal. The real issues are people’s reasons for acquiring money and what they do with it, not whether having it is right or wrong.
我当然知道你可以拥有世界上所有的钱却不高兴,我知道成功不是用金钱来衡量。但是繁荣是一个令人钦佩的目标。真正的问题是人们获得金钱和他们所做的事情,是否它是对还是错。
In this lesson I want to bring your attention to 10 reasons why prosperity should be viewed positively.
在这节课中我想把你的注意力到10个为什么繁荣被积极看待的原因。
1. Who You Become—A favorite quote of mine by my mentor Jim Rohn, “When you become a millionaire it’s not the million dollars that makes you valuable, it’s who you become in the process,” speaks to the importance of personal growth. When you consistently stretch yourself to do your very best, you grow, your value to the market is increased and you’re self-worth as well as your self-confidence become treasured realities.
你成为你最喜欢的，我的推荐是我的导师吉姆·罗恩,“当你成为一个百万富翁，不是数百万美元使你有价值,而是使你成为富翁的过程,“谈及个人成长的重要性。当你一直让自己做到最好,你成长,你的市场价值增加,你自我价值以及自信成为现实财富。
2. Help Those In Need—One of the greatest joys in life for my wife and me is to help those who are less fortunate in our local community and in third world countries. We particularly feel an aching in our hearts for orphans and today our family sponsors a community of more than 50 children in Swaziland. How would you feel if you had extra money to help those who break your heart?
帮助那些有需要的人--在我们的当地社区和在第三世界国家，我和妻子在生活中最大的乐趣是去帮助那些不幸的人。我们特别为孤儿感受我们心中的痛,今天我们家在斯威士兰的社区赞助商50多个孩子。你怎么觉得如果你有额外的钱去帮助那些人会伤了你的心?
3. You Will Become More Respected—As you grow and develop your skills, habits and personal character, those around you will look to you with respect and admiration. As people’s respect for you grows, so will your influence and usefulness as a leader. I have to believe the life of someone who is deeply respected is better than the life of someone who is not.
你会变得更加受到尊重---在你的成长和发展你的技能,习惯和个性过程中,你周围的人将会尊重和仰慕你。随着人们的仰慕你,你的领导影响力和作用将扩大。我不得不相信十分受尊重的生活人比人不受尊重要好。
4. You Will Be An Example To Your Children—If you will strive for excellence in doing the little things to help you advance up the pay scale in your chosen occupation, you will be a great example for your children. After all, your example is likely the #1 influencing factor in their lives.
你将为小孩以身试教---将追求卓越的微公益帮助你提前支付在你选择的职业中规模,你将为你的孩子一个很好的楷模。毕竟,你的例子可能是他们的生活中第一个影响因素。
5. Your Influence on People’s Lives—As your influence grows, people will look to you and follow the example you set, which can be very rewarding and fulfilling. Remember, as a leader when you do the little things to get better, everyone you lead gets better.
你对人们的影响——正如你的影响力的增长,人们会看你和效仿你,可以非常有益的和充实。记住,作为一个领导者,当你做小的事情变得更好,所有你变得更好。
6. Children’s Education—The cost of education in America is on the rise each year. The more money you make, the better able you will be to provide educational opportunities for your children. Would providing the best possible education for your children bring greater satisfaction to your life?
在美国教育孩子的教育成本是每年都在上升。你赚的钱越多,能更好地你将为你的孩子提供教育机会。为你的孩子提供最好的教育难道不能给你的生活带来更大的满足感?
7. Reduces Financial Pressure—How would you feel if you never had to worry about your finances? Would your stress level be different? The number one source of tension in a marriage is finances. Would you be able to improve your relationship with your spouse? For those of you who are struggling financially, what would an extra $100,000 do for your peace of mind?
你会减少金融压力--如果你从来没有担心你的经济状况你感觉如何?你的压力会不同吗?在婚姻中第一个关系紧张的是财政紧张。难道你不能改善你和你的配偶之间的关系?对于你们中那些奋斗在经济边缘,将一个额外的100000美元难道不能抚慰你心灵的平静吗?
8. Better Health—There are countless studies that show a clear link between money and health. Affluent people tend to eat better foods, take nutritional supplements, and exercise with greater consistency (using the same discipline that allowed them to succeed in their business or occupation).
更健康-这儿有无数研究表明一个钱和健康之间的确切联系。富裕的人们倾向于吃更好的食物,营养补充剂,运动与更大的一致性(使用相同的纪律使他们的商业或职业成功)。
9. Retire Early—If you can save enough money to live off the income of your investments, you can choose to retire early to travel, enjoy life’s experiences and pursue your passion. While early retirement is not for everyone, having enough money to make the choice is attractive.

10. Quality of Life—Money can afford you a better quality of life. I am typing this post in my home office overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. It is beautiful! There is no doubt the beauty of the Gulf and the sounds of the waves crashing on the beach brings me great enjoyment and reminds me of the gratitude I have for the quality of life I am able to experience.
10.生活的质量--金钱可以让你拥有更好的生活质量。当我在家庭办公室一边打这篇文章时，一边俯瞰墨西哥湾。它是如此美丽!毫无疑问，美丽的海湾,撞在海滩上海浪的声音，带给我极大的快乐，提醒我，必须感恩，现在我能体验这么棒的生活质量。
I believe thinking negatively about money is an unproductive belief and as long as you think that way, so will go the course of your life. I believe God wants us to give our very best to what we do and who we become and if we earn a lot of money in the process, so much the better. We can use that money to improve our lives and the lives of our family and through our charitable giving we can impact the lives of those who are less fortunate.
我相信负面思考金钱，是无价值的信念,只要你觉得这样,所以你生命的轨迹也会这样。我相信神要我们做事做到最好，成为最好的人,如果在这个过程中，我们赚到很多钱,那就更好了。我们可以用这些钱，来改善我们的生活，我们家庭的生活，通过我们的慈善捐赠，可以对那些不太幸运的人们的生活，施加自己的影响。
I challenge you to make a commitment that you will stretch yourself to become the person who will attract more money into your life through your hard work, discipline and wise decisions.
我向你提出挑战，对自己做出承诺,通过你的努力工作、自律和明智的决定，你会全力以赴，竭尽全力，成为那种会吸引更多的资金进入你生活的人。
