Strict use of scripts:“Point 1: Huge results don’t always require huge efforts. Do you know how glaciers are formed? Meteorologists have found that glaciers form because summer heat isn’t enough to melt the ice and snow left from winter. This residual snow makes it easier for subsequent winters to accumulate more snow. Over time, this snow turns into a glacier. This process teaches us that even small forces can lead to extraordinary outcomes if they provide momentum for future growth. Einstein referred to this as the eighth wonder of the world, and we call it compound interest. Many people simplify compound interest to just financial growth, but its effects can be seen in many areas of life. For instance, human reproduction leads to population growth; similarly, those who know how to leverage wealth can generate more wealth, as seen in Warren Buffett's wealth accumulation. Because the onset of compound effects often appears insignificant, even the smartest individuals can overlook them. Just like that small bit of snow, who could predict it would become a massive glacier years later? Find activities you enjoy that can generate compounding results, like reading for half an hour each day or meditating for fifteen minutes, and stick with them. Remember, money likes to associate with those who understand compounding. Point 2: Time freedom is the greatest dividend wealth can provide. Many only see money as a means to acquire more and better goods, but its greater value lies in the ability to say, "Today, I can do anything I want." More wealth means you don’t have to feel anxious in front of your boss, and if you lose your job, you can patiently wait for better opportunities. This grants you more time and choices, allowing you to pursue what you love and maintain control over your life, naturally increasing your chances of success and enabling you to persist over time. This is how the compounding of freedom occurs. Many view wealth as a way to show off, but excessive desire can lead to irrational decisions and risk-taking, ultimately resulting in early setbacks. The book states that savings equal the difference between a vain self and actual income; thus, flaunting wealth is the quickest way to lose it. To mitigate the risks of reckless behavior, balance your desires and create a buffer between your urge to show off and potential unforeseen circumstances. This buffer is the playground for your freedom, continuously covering the mistakes you might make. Remember, money likes to associate with truly free individuals. Point 3: Risk is what you overlook when you think you’ve considered everything. No one can see everything clearly; the world is full of unknown factors. When these factors lead to negative outcomes, we call it risk; when they bring unexpected benefits, we call it luck. Respecting the power of both luck and risk allows us to focus on what we can truly control. Many people hastily assume they can achieve what others have accomplished. However, any task may appear simple from the outside. When something looks appealing, it’s best to objectively assess how much risk and luck are involved, and what hard skills are required. This clarity helps you see the gap between you and success, along with the cost of achieving it. ” Title Usage:“The Psychology of Money®: Timeless Lessons on Wealth, Greed, and Happiness®·Global Sold 3,000,000 Copies” The content is in English with English-Chinese bilingual subtitles.
