勵志英語文章： Six Way to Turn Desires into Gold

　　The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, these:

　　First: fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter.)

　　Second: determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.")

　　Third: establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

　　Forth: create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are read or not, to put this plan into action.

　　Fifth: write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

　　Sixth: read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read--see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

　　It is important that you follow the instructions described in these six steps. It is especially important that you observe, and follow the instructions in the sixth paragraph. You may complain that it is impossible for you to "see yourself in possession of money" before you actually have it. Here is where a burning desire will come to you aid. If you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it. The object is to want money, and to become so determined to have it that you convince yourself you will have it.

　　化渴望為財富的六大步驟

　　化渴望為財富的方法，包含了如下的六大實際步驟：

　　第一：牢記你所渴望金錢的“確切”數目。光是說：“我要很多錢。”這樣子是不夠的。對其額度要非常肯定。(確定性之必要，有其心理學上的緣由，隨后的章節會加以說明。)

　　第二：決定一下，你要“付出”什么以求報償。(天底下是沒有“不勞而獲”這種事的。

　　第三：設定你想“擁有”所渴望金錢的確切日期。

　　第四：草擬實現渴望的確切計劃，并且“立即”行動，不論你準備妥當與否，都要將計劃付諸實施。

　　第五：簡單明了地寫下你想獲得的金錢數目，及獲得這筆 錢的時限。說明你打算憑什么去取得這筆錢，并詳加描述你累 聚這筆錢的計劃。

　　第六：一天朗誦兩遍你寫好的告白，早晨起床時念一遍，晚上睡覺前念一遍。念的時候，要有如親見目睹一般，實際體會真正擁有這筆錢時的感覺。

　　遵行這六大步驟的指示是非常重要的。你有必要切實遵照這六個段落的指示，并奉行不渝。你可能會嘀咕，你又沒有真正擁有這筆錢，要“目睹自己實際擁有這筆錢，” 似乎不太可能。這就該是沸騰的渴望派上用場的時刻了。如果你真的熱切 渴望要有錢，你的渴望會變成魂牽夢縈的迫切企求，要讓自己 有如置身其境也就易如反掌了。你的目標就是想要有錢，并且要堅定不移，堅定到你相信自己會擁有這筆錢的地步。
