1. The middle class live comfortably, the rich embrace being uncomfortable

中等收入的人生活得舒適，而有錢人則「找罪受」

「Be willing to be uncomfortable. Be comfortable being uncomfortable. It may get tough, but it』s a small price to pay for living a dream。」

-Peter McWilliams

「甘願找罪受，舒服也成了不舒服，也許有些艱難，但是那是為了夢想付出的一點小代價」--------彼得·麥克威廉

The middle class think being comfortable means being happy, but the rich realize that extraordinary things happen when we put ourselves in uncomfortable situations. Starting your own business is a risk and risks can be uncomfortable, but a little risk is what it takes to create wealth and achieve superior results。

中產階級的人認為舒適就是快樂，但是有錢人則認為當我們把自己置於一個不舒服的環境下會發生不平凡的事。自己創業有一定的風險，風險是讓人很不舒服的，但是風險會創造出財富，得到一個較好的結果。

2. The middle class climb the corporate ladder, the rich own the ladder

中等收入的人喜歡幫著別人干，有錢人則有自己的打算

The middle class tend to work for someone else. They have a job. A career. Upper middle class tend to be self-employed. They own a job. The rich tend to own the business. The rich understand that they need more people working for them to earn more money。

中等收入的人喜歡為別人打工，他們有工作，有職業。中等偏上收入的人傾向於自我僱傭，他們有一份工作。有錢人則傾向於有自己的企業。有錢人知道他們需要更多的人為他們工作來賺更多的錢。

3.The middle class are friends with everyone, the rich choose wisely

中等收入的人和每個人都是朋友，而有錢人則是明智的挑選

The rich understand that when you surround yourself with successful people, your own success will follow. Likewise, surrounding yourself with unsuccessful people tends to have the anticipated effect。

富人知道當你周圍都是有錢人的時候，成功就會不期而至，同樣的，在你身邊都是不成功的人，那結果也會和預期一樣。

4.The middle class work to earn, the rich work to learn

中等收入的人是為了賺錢而工作，而富人是為了學習而工作

The middle class are easily persuaded to change jobs when someone offers more money. The rich understand that working isn』t about the money, especially in the early years. It』s about developing the skills and traits you need to develop to become rich。

有人願意給高一點的工資，中等收入的人就願意換工作。富人很清楚特別是在早期的時候工作並非是為了錢。而是要培養技能，發展能讓以後成為有錢人的品質。

5.The middle class focus on saving, the rich focus on earning

中等收入的人看重的是存錢，而富人則看中如何賺錢

Saving is important. Investing may be more important, but earning is the foundation of both. You understand that you need to save and invest, but to really achieve extravagant goals with them, you need to earn more。

存錢固然重要，投資可能更重要，但是賺錢是這兩者的基礎。你知道你得存錢和投資，但是要在此基礎上實現更大的目標，你還需要賺得更多。
