5.The world's richest woman Gina Rinehart is experiencing a media firestorm(媒體轟炸) because of an article in which she blames(責(zé)備) the middle class for"drinking,smoking and entertaining"rather than working to make their own future.
Steve Siebold,writer of"How Rich People Think",spent nearly 30years interviewing millionaires(百萬富翁) around the world to find out what separates them from everyone else.The result is that it had little to do with money itself,and it was about their way of thinking.
Common people think money is the cause of all evil(罪惡).Rich people believe poverty(貧窮) is the cause of all evil."The common person has been brainwashed to believe rich people are lucky or dishonest,"Siebold writes.That's why there's a certain shame that comes along with"getting rich"in lower-income(低收入) communities."The rich know that while having money doesn't make sure of happiness,it exactly makes your life easier and more enjoyable."
Common people believe you have to do something to get rich.Rich people believe you have to be something to get rich."While most people are paying more attention to the quick results of their actions,the great ones are learning and growing from every experience.Whether it's a success or a failure,they know their true reward is becoming a human success machine that finally produces better results,"he writes.
"Common people would rather be entertained than educated.Rich people would rather be educated than entertained.While the rich don't think it a must to get their wealth with a formal(正式的) education,they prefers the power of continuous learning after leaving college,"Siebold says."Walk into a wealthy person's home and one of the first things you'll see is a library of books they've used to educate themselves on how to become more successful,"he writes."The middle classes read novels,tabloids(小報(bào)) and entertainment magazines."
