按:这是我在Business Insider网站上看到的一篇文章，原标题“9 things rich people choose to do that poor people don't”，对于我这种想变成富人的人来说，很有启发性。本质上，富人与穷人的区别，是思维方式的区别。现选译部分，与球友学习讨论。
1. 富人相信收入法则
富人相信，他们将获得与其为市场创造的价值同比例的回报。穷人认为，无论产出多少，他们都应该获得同等回报。
The rich believe in the law of income.
The rich believe that they will be paid in direct proportion to the value that they deliver to the marketplace.
Poor people believe that we should all be paid the same amount, regardless of the outcome that we produce.
2. 富人关注机会，而非困难。
穷人经常看到困难，然后很快绕道而行。而富人经常看到机会，并进入许多人做梦也想不到的领域。
The rich focus on opportunities, not obstacles.
The poor often see obstacles and quickly give up, while the rich see the the opportunities and enter arenas that many wouldn't dream of.
3. 富人与积极、成功的人交往。
富人知道，态度决定一切。如果他们持续与抱怨天气、诽谤政府、看衰经济的人混在一起，他们也会做同样的事情（ps:雪球上这类负能量满满的人很多）。
The rich associate with positive, successful people.
Rich people know that attitude is everything. If they continually hang out with people that complain about the weather, bad-mouth the government, and speak negatively about the state of the economy, then they will likely start doing the same thing !
4. 富人愿意提升自我及其价值。
如果你想富有，就必须学会如何成为一名销售人员，至少把自己销售出去。
The rich are willing to promote themselves and their value.
If you want to be wealthy, you must learn how to become a salesperson and at the very least, sell yourself.
5. 富人变得比问题更强大。
穷人看到问题时，就将其归因于运气不好，并放弃尝试。富人遇到问题，一开始也会挠头，但不会放弃。他们行动再行动，直到找到解决问题的办法，所以他们最后总能赢。
The rich grow bigger than their problems.
The poor see a problem and they chalk it up to bad luck and quit trying. The rich run into problems and might scratch their heads for a while, but they don't give up. They'll work and work until they discover a solution to the problem so they can win in the end.
6.富人思考鱼与熊掌兼得，穷人思考获得其一。
简言之，富人通过商业手段，把小钱变成大钱，从而同时拥有鱼和熊掌。
The rich think 'both,' the poor think 'either or.'
7.富人聚焦资产净值，而非劳动收入。
人可以每小时挣很多钱，但如果他们没有保留一部分，最终也会身无分文。（ps:西方有一句老话:省一分，就是赚一分。很多人虽然挣得多，但花得更多，所以资产净值是负数。）
The rich focus on net worth, not working income.
One can earn quite a lot of money per hour, but if they don't learn to keep any of it, they will still be broke in the end.
8. 富人持续学习成长。
富人求知若渴，因为他们知道学得越多，越可能成功。百万富翁平均每月阅读一本非虚构类的书，因为他们想成为自己想成为的人。穷人啥也不读，也从不改变。
The rich constantly learn and grow.
The rich starve for knowledge because they know that the more they learn, the more likely they are to succeed. The average millionaire reads one nonfiction book a month because they want to grow themselves into the person that they want to be. The average broke person will read nothing and will never change.
9. 富人不怕跋山涉水。
富人不怕道路荆棘丛生，因为他们放眼未来。当下生活或许艰难，但他们知道，今天的行动将使他们未来大受裨益，所以他们长途跋涉时，总把眼睛盯着前方的奖牌。
The rich don't mind taking the hard road.
The wealthy don't mind taking the hard road because they have a long-term mindset. The current life might be difficult, but they know their actions today could benefit them tremendously in the future, so they trudge along and keep their eye on the future prize.
