21 Ways Rich People Think Differently
World’s richest woman Gina Rinehart is enduring a media
firestorm忍受媒體的強烈砲轟 over an article in which she takes the
“jealous” middle class to task for ‘drinking or smoking and socializing’ rather
than working to earn their own fortune.(請參考下面的說明)
What if she has a point?
Steve Siebold, author of ‘How Rich People
Think’ spent nearly three decades interviewing millionaires around the world to
find out what separates them from everyone else.
說明
Gina Rinehart
澳洲礦業與媒體大亨，目前是世界最富有的女性之一。2012年因為下面這段話引發軒然大波。
"If you're jealous of those with more money, don't
just sit there and complain. Do something to make more money yourself --
spend less time drinking or smoking and socialising, and more time working.”
這位繼承家族事業而成為全球最富有的女人，針對中產階級對富人的不滿態度提出看法。她認為，坐而怨不如起而行。想要賺大錢不能只靠坐著抱怨。她並且要求中產階級多花點時間工作，少喝點酒、少抽點菸，少成天忙於社交閒扯淡。畢竟有錢人的社交活動都是有目的性的，而非聚在一起殺時間、怨天尤人與相互取暖。

It had little to do with money itself, he
told Business Insider. It was about their mentality心態.
“[The middle class] tells people to be happy
with what they have,” he said. “And on the whole, most people are steeped in
沉浸在 fear when it comes to money.”
1.Average
people think MONEY is the root of all evil. Rich people believe POVERTY is the
root of all evil.
一般人認為金錢是萬惡的淵藪，有錢人認為貧窮才是問題所在。
“The average person has been brainwashed to believe因為被洗腦而相信 rich people are lucky or dishonest,” Siebold
writes. That’s why there’s a certain shame某種程度的羞愧感 that comes along with “getting rich” in lower-income低收入 communities.
“The world class knows that while having
money doesn’t guarantee happiness, it does make your life easier and more
enjoyable.”
2. Average
people think selfishness is a vice. Rich people think selfishness is a virtue.
一般人視自私為罪惡，有錢人認為自私是種美德。
“The rich go out there and try to make
themselves happy. They don’t try to pretend to save the world,” The problem is
that middle class people see that as a negative––and it’s keeping them poor, he
writes. “If you’re not taking care of you, you’re not
in a position to help anyone else. You can’t give what you don’t have.”
3. Average
people have a lottery mentality. Rich people have an action mentality.
一般人成天只想著中樂透發財，有錢人靠行動賺錢。
“While the masses are waiting to pick the
right numbers and praying for prosperity, the great ones are solving problems,”
Siebold writes.
“The hero [middle class people] are waiting
for may be God, government, their boss or their spouse. It’s the average
person’s level of thinking that breeds this approach to life and living while
the clock keeps ticking away.”
From Steve Siebold, author of “How Rich
People Think”
4. Average
people think the road to riches is paved with formal education. Rich people
believe in acquiring specific knowledge.
一般人認為多念書就能致富，有錢人相信要致富需靠一技之長。
“Many world-class performers世界級/一流的富有行家 have little formal education, and have amassed累積 their wealth財富 through the acquisition and subsequent sale
of specific knowledge,” he writes. “Meanwhile,
the masses are convinced that master’s degrees and doctorates are the way to
wealth, mostly because they are trapped in the linear
line of thought困在直線思考裡面 that holds them back from 阻止他們higher levels of consciousness…The wealthy aren’t interested in the means, only the end有錢人在乎的不是手段，而是結果.”
5. Average
people long for the good old days. Rich people dream of the future.
一般人緬懷過去的美好時光，有錢人對未來懷抱夢想。
“Self-made millionaires get rich because
they’re willing to bet on賭一把 themselves and project their dreams, goals
and ideas into an unknown future,” Siebold writes. “People who believe their best
days are behind them rarely get rich, and often struggle with unhappiness and
depression.”
6. Average
people see money through the eyes of emotion. Rich people think about money
logically.
一般人以感性的態度面對金錢，有錢人則以邏輯的理性方式對待錢。
“An ordinarily smart,
well-educated and otherwise successful person can be instantly transformed into
a fear-based, scarcity driven thinker whose greatest financial aspiration is to
retire comfortably,” he writes. “The world class sees money for what it is and
what it’s not, through the eyes of logic. The great ones know money is a
critical tool that presents options and opportunities.”
7. Average
people earn money doing things they don’t love. Rich people follow their
passion.
一般人為了賺錢得忍受不喜歡的工作。有錢人跟著工作熱情走。
“To the average person,
it looks like the rich are working all the time,” Siebold says. “But one of the
smartest strategies of the world class is doing what they love
and finding a way to get paid for it.做自己喜歡的事情之餘，還能找出一個方法來讓賺錢” On the other hand, middle class take jobs
they don’t enjoy “because they need the money and they’ve been trained in
school and conditioned by society to live in a linear thinking world that
equates earning money with physical or mental effort.”
8. Average
people set low expectations so they’re never disappointed. Rich people are up
for the challenge.
一般人對人生設定低標，好避免失望。有錢人只接受挑戰
“Psychologists and other
mental health experts often advise people to set low expectations for their
life to ensure they are not disappointed,” Siebold writes.
“No one would ever strike
it rich and live their dreams without huge expectations.”
9. Average
people believe you have to DO something to get rich. Rich people believe you
have to BE something to get rich.
一般人認為，賺錢行動要快。有錢人則懂得放長線釣大魚。
“That’s why people like
Donald Trump go from millionaire to nine billion dollars in debt and come back
richer than ever,” he writes.
“While the masses are fixated on念念不忘 the doing and the
immediate results of their actions, the great ones are learning and growing
from every experience, whether it’s a success or a failure, knowing their true
reward is becoming a human success machine that eventually produces outstanding
results.”
10. Average
people believe you need money to make money. Rich people use other people’s
money.
一般人相信能用自己的錢去滾錢，有錢人用別人的資金滾出自己的錢。
Linear thought might tell people to make
money in order to earn more, but Siebold says the rich aren’t afraid to fund
their future from other people’s pockets. “Rich people know not being
solvent
enough沒有足夠能力償付 to personally afford something is not
relevant. The real question is, ‘Is this worth buying, investing in, or
pursuing?’” he writes.
11. Average
people believe the markets are driven by logic and strategy. Rich people know
they’re driven by emotion and greed.
一般人深信金錢遊戲是靠邏輯與策略運作。有錢人知道金錢市場裡面只有貪婪與情緒。
Investing successfully in the stock market
isn’t just about a fancy math formula.
“The rich know that the primary emotions that
drive financial markets are fear and greed, and they factor this into all
trades and trends they observe,” Siebold writes. “This knowledge of human nature人性 and its overlapping impact重疊效應 on trading give them strategic advantage in building
greater wealth through leverage.”
12. Average
people live beyond their means. Rich people live below theirs.
一般人經常入不敷出，有錢人的錢多到花不完。
“Here’s how to live below your means有盈餘，不是入不敷出 and tap into切入/了解 the secret wealthy
people have used for centuries: Get rich so you can afford to,” he writes.
“The rich live below
their means, not because they’re so savvy聰明, but because they make
so much money that they can afford to live like
royalty while
still having a king’s ransom大把鈔票 socked away留起來 for the future.”
13. Average
people teach their children how to survive. Rich people teach their kids to get
rich.
一般人教導孩子生存之道，有錢人教導孩子致富之道。
Rich parents teach their
kids from an early age about the world of “haves” and “have-nots,” Siebold
says. Even he admits many people have argued that he’s supporting the idea of
elitism.
He disagrees.
“[People] say parents are
teaching their kids to look down on the masses because they’re poor. This isn’t
true,” he writes. “What they’re teaching their kids is to see the world through the eyes of objective reality透過客觀的現實來看事情 - the way society really
is.” If children understand
wealth early on, they’ll be more likely to strive for it 為了某個目標致力去達成later in life.
14. Average
people let money stress them out. Rich people find peace of mind in wealth.
一般人為錢傷神，有錢人用錢養神
The reason wealthy people
earn more wealth is that they’re not afraid to admit that money can solve most
problems, Siebold says.
“[The middle class] sees
money as a never-ending necessary evil that must be endured as
part of life. The world class sees money as the great liberator解放/獲得自由, and with enough of it, they are able to
purchase financial peace of mind.”
15. Average
people would rather be entertained than educated. Rich people would rather be
educated than entertained.
一般人生活中只想找樂子，有錢人會在生活中找點子。
While the rich don’t put much stock in
furthering wealth through formal education, they appreciate the power of
learning long after college is over, Siebold says. “Walk into a wealthy person’s home and one of the first
things you’ll see is an extensive library of books they’ve used to educate
themselves on how to become more successful,” he writes.
“The middle class reads novels, tabloids and
entertainment magazines.”
16. Average
people think rich people are snobs. Rich people just want to surround
themselves with like-minded people.
一般人覺得有錢人只跟有錢人打交道非常勢利眼。有錢人只相信物以類聚。
The negative money mentality排斥富裕 poisoning the middle class is what keeps the
rich hanging out with the rich, he says.
“[Rich people] can’t afford the messages of
doom and gloom無法接受江河日下,” he writes. “This is often misinterpreted
by the masses as
snobbery勢利眼.
Labeling the world class給有錢人貼標籤 as snobs is another way the middle class finds to feel
better about themselves and their chosen path of mediocrity選擇一條平庸的道路.”
17. Average
people focus on saving. Rich people focus on earning.
一般人只懂得存錢。有錢人則專注於賺錢。
Siebold theorizes that the wealthy focus on
what they’ll “gain” by taking risks, rather than how to save what they have.
“The masses are so focused on clipping coupons剪折價券 and living frugally過著節儉的生活 they miss major opportunities,” he writes.
“Even in the midst of 在…當中a cash flow crisis缺現金的危機, the rich reject the nickel and dime thinking看待金錢不會小鼻子小眼睛 of the masses. They are the masters of focusing
their mental energy where it belongs: on the big money.”
18. Average
people play it safe with money. Rich people know when to take risks.
一般人理財不敢冒險。有錢人總會在對的時機點賭一把。
“Leverage is the watchword of the rich 有錢人善用自己的優勢去得到最大的利益,” Siebold writes.
“Every investor loses
money on occasion, but the world class knows no matter what happens, they will
always be able to earn more.”
19. Average
people love to be comfortable. Rich people find comfort in uncertainty.
一般人喜歡安逸的生活。有錢人只有在不確定的環境下才覺得舒服。
For the most part, it takes guts要有膽識 to take the risks necessary to make it as a
millionaire––a challenge most middle class thinkers aren’t comfortable living
with. “Physical, psychological, and
emotional comfort is the primary goal of the middle class mindset,” Siebold
writes.
World class thinkers learn early on that
becoming a millionaire isn’t easy and the need for comfort can be devastating對於舒適生活的需求可能是致富的毒藥. They learn to be comfortable while operating in a
state of ongoing uncertainty不斷在未知的狀況中運作.”
20. Average
people never make the connection between money and health. Rich people know
money can save your life.
一般人只顧著賺錢不要命，有錢人知道多金可保命。
While the middle class squabbles over爭執不休 the virtues of Obamacare and their company’s
health plan, the super wealthy are enrolled in a super elite “boutique medical
care” association, Siebold says. “They pay a substantial yearly membership fee一大筆健康俱樂部年費 that guarantees them 24-hour access to a
private physician who only serves a small group of members,” he writes.
“Some wealthy neighborhoods have implemented
this strategy and even require the physician to live in the neighborhood.”
21. Average
people believe they must choose between a great family and being rich. Rich
people know you can have it all.
一般人總覺得家庭與事業是選擇題，有錢人則相信贏者全拿。
The idea the wealth must come at the expense of…的代價 family time is nothing but a “cop-out逃避某些責任的藉口”, Siebold says. “The masses have been brainwashed to believe it’s an either/or
equation是非題,” he writes. “The rich know you can have
anything you want if you approach the challenge with a mindset 心態rooted in love and abundance.”
