導向成功的金玉良言 --- 成功秘碼 51 條
如何致富？且聽聽看富爸爸富媽媽是怎麼說的。
Raising your bid on a house is a competition between you and your own IQ. If you can’t even defeat your own negative mindset, how can you defeat others? In a competitive society, the most important characteristics one can have are courage and sound judgment.
「買房子加價是跟自己的智力比聰明，如果你連你自己都贏不過，你如何去贏過他人。在競爭的社會中，勇氣 與 判斷力最重要。」
Don’t assume that you can haggle on the price of every property. A wise man conducts his negotiation based on the current real estate market trend.
「不要以為你的殺價，對每一幢房子都會有效，殺不殺價，要依房市走勢來判斷，這才是智者。」
The market rate is a product of competition. You may be caught off guard when yesterday you could get a house for less, but today you have to offer more than asking. If your mindset is still in the bargaining mode, you may very well end up empty handed.
「市場是競爭下的產物。昨天還可以殺價，今天就變成加價，實在讓人有些適應不了。如果你的腦袋還停留在殺價階段，那你可能會變成是買不到房子的輸者。」
If you find a house priced below fair market value, buy it now. Don’t haggle any further; otherwise you may very well lose a rare chance to get a great deal.
「如果你現在發現一幢房子開價低於公平市價，你去買它就對了，千萬別再殺價了，如果你再殺價，你就可能失去一次買到便宜貨的好機會。」
In bidding for the same house, some will offer more, some will offer less. It’s fairly easy to see who will end up with that property.
「在買同一幢房子的時候，有人殺價、有人加價，到最後誰會真的買到房子？這個答案，非常清楚。」
Don’t assume that you can haggle on the price of every property. A wise man conducts his negotiation based on the current real estate market trend.
「不要以為你的殺價，對每一幢房子都會有效果，殺不殺價，要依房市走勢判斷，這才是智者。」
In a bidding war, whoever is quick to raise the bid will be the winner.
「在搶房子的情況下，誰敢加價誰就是勝利者。」
In a bidding war, you don’t raise your bid just to beat out competition; you also have to beat out your own mental blocks.
「在搶房子的時候，加價不是要贏過別人，加價是要贏過你自己的心理障礙。」
If you don’t first defeat your own demons, how can you defeat others?
「如果你不先贏過你自己的心理障礙，你如何去贏過他人。」
Increasing your bid on a house is not a match against other competitors; it’s a match against your own greed. If you can’t defeat your own greed, how can you defeat others?
10*「買房子加價不是跟對方的競爭者比賽，買房子加價是在克服你的貪婪，如果你都贏不過你自己的貪婪，你如何贏過他人。」
You’ll triumph over others if you can defeat your own greed and overcome your mental blocks.
「克服自己的貪婪，你就可以贏過他人。勝過自己的心理障礙，你就可以勝過他人。」
Tell yourself you’ll win, and surely you will win. To have the possibility of winning, you must be 100% prepared, 100% positive, and 100% confident that you’ll win.
「告訴你自己，你能贏，你就能贏。要先有十足的準備、十足的把握、十足的信心，這樣你才能具有贏得勝利的機會。」
A great house at a great price will always attract plenty of buyers regardless of the economy.
「便宜又好的房子，永遠有人要，不管景氣不景氣，好的房子一定有人搶著要。」
A house that has an ideal location, commute, price, and condition will always be easy to sell. If the house is exceptionally well-maintained and priced to sell, it will for sure have lots of offers.
「位置適中、交通方便、 價錢適宜、保養還不錯的房子，永遠賣的掉。如果再碰到屋美價廉的房子，當然就成為搶手貨了。」
In a competitive society, courage and judgment are indispensible elements of success.
「在競爭的社會中，勇氣 與 判斷力是成功不可缺少的元素之一。」
A good deal means the value exceeds the price. However, the way to determine whether something is a good deal is not based off of a small price cut but by evaluating its long-term benefit.
「Good Deal就是物超所值、買到好的價錢。但是衡量物超所值的計算基礎不是看它目前短暫的小利小惠 ，而是看它的長期利益 (前瞻收益)。
Short-sighted opportunists will never be able to see long-term benefits. A good deal to them only means small price cuts.
「短視的投機客是永遠看不到長期收益的，在他們眼中的物超所值只是那些小利小惠。」
Long-term proceeds are more important than short-term profits. The decision to buy a house should be based off of long-term return on investment, not short-term benefits.
「長期收益比短暫獲利重要。買房子是看長期投資報酬，而不是短期的利益。」
When you buy something valuable at a great price, you have a good deal. But if you get greedy and want to haggle even more resulting in your losing the house, then you’re more of an idiot than a deal hunter.
「買到物超所值，就是Good Deal。但是因為自己的貪婪，想再多殺一點價，因而買不到房子的話，那就不是Good Deal，那就變成是傻瓜一個。」
Someone who likes to take advantage of things may be witty, but he can never become a great man of courage and wisdom.
「愛佔小便宜的就是小聰明的人，小聰明的人永遠是小聰明的人，他不可能變成一個智勇雙全的偉人。」
An indecisive man who spends his life waiting for something better to come by will never find what’s waiting for.
「不能當機立斷，只想等待更好機會的人，永遠等不到好機會。」
The same news will prompt some to be more optimistic and others to be more pessimistic. Optimistic people always get the upper hand in finding opportunities while pessimists will only pass up opportunities and sulk about it.
「同樣是聽到同一件新聞報告，有的人是愈來愈樂觀，有的人則是愈來愈悲觀。樂觀的人總是搶到機會捷足先登，悲觀的人總是放棄到手的機會哀愁滿面。」
Those who believe the US economy has already begun to rebound have been secretly acquiring foreclosed properties on a large scale. Those who believe the US economy will continue to tank for another two to three years are, of course, not buying any real estate. Which group do you belong to?
「相信美國經濟已好轉的人，已經悄悄地大舉收購拍賣屋、銀行屋。相信美國經濟還會再壞二、三年的人，當然不會現在買房子，你是屬於那一種人呢？」
The rich would never go around telling everyone how they make their fortune, but rather stay low-key about it.
「賺大錢的人，總是不會大嗚大放地宣佈他是怎麼賺錢的，他們賺錢的行動總是在靜悄悄的進行著。」
The smart ones make their money in silence and stay low-key even after they’ve hit it big.
「靜悄悄的去賺錢，賺錢之後也不需要敲鑼打鼓，這就是聰明人的方法。」
The US has abundant resources and well-established political and economic systems. Compared to other countries, it’s aptitude for a full economic recovery is still impressive.
「美國是一個資源豐富，政經制度良好的國家，與其它國家相比，它的經濟復原能力還是很強大的。」
If construction costs of new houses will continue to rise, then investing in real estate is the right decision.
「如果新屋的建築成本會節節上升，這就代表投資房子是對的。」
You need to buy into real estate now especially because of inflation. The US dollar may be low now, but that means a greater rebound for the real estate market later on, which brings about deep profits in the long run.
「就是因為通貨膨脹，美金不值錢，你更要買房子，因為以後房價反彈回來的力道會更大，這代表長期投資房子是有豐厚利潤的。」
Bidding for foreclosed homes has become a real estate investment trend in which multiple buyers vying for the same house has become a common occurrence. Under steep competition, a buyer raising his offer is no longer unheard of.
「現在由於搶購拍賣屋的風氣成瘋，造成一幢房子有數個買主的現象非常普遍。由於競爭激烈，加價就變成是很自然的事了。」
When the real estate market becomes hot again, the increasing competition between buyers will invariably lead to a trend of raising offers.
「當市場買氣開始回升，買主之間的競爭情形越來越激烈的時候，加價就成為趨勢。」
When demand exceeds supply, you’ll experience first-hand the meaning of “Cash is King”, “Power is King”, and “Raising Offer is King”.
「當「物以稀為貴」的時候，你就能體驗到「 Cash is the King」、「Power is the King」、「加價 is the King」。
When home prices shoot through the roof, negotiating for a lower price is normal. By the same token, when home prices fall through the floor, raising offers is also normal behavior.
「房價爆衝到高價位的時候，殺價是很正常的現象，同理，房價爆跌到低價位的時候，加價也是很正常的現象。」
There will always be some people making money while others lose money. Whether you win or lose will be determined by your wisdom and courage.
「有人賺錢、有人賠錢，是賺錢或是賠錢，端看您的智慧與勇氣了。」
When home prices are falling, some people get to buy a house while others end up with nothing. Whether you get the house you want depends on your bankroll and your courage.
「當房價下跌的時候，有的人買到房子，有的人買不到房子，買到或買不到，端看您的金錢與勇氣。」
Not everyone can get a piece of the pie. Those who can are indeed highly capable people.
「不是每一個人都可以吃到大餅，吃到大餅的，一定是本領高強的人。」
Set your sight on a goal and never give up fighting for it until you succeed in obtaining it. This is what it means to have both brawn and brains.
「看準目標，積極爭取，永往直前絕不放棄。不成功絕不罷手，這就是智勇雙全的表現。
Buying a house requires good timing, location, Feng shui, layout, price, school district, transportation, etc. in conjunction with courage and action. It takes someone with brawn and brain to make it happen.
「買房子的時候，要看準時機、地點、風水、格局、價格、學校、交通、、、再加上勇氣與行動，這時就是需要有一個智勇雙全的人。」
Only someone with money, brains, and courage can find himself a good house.
「只有財、智、勇三全的人，才能買到好房子。」
Reevaluate what your ideals and your future should be comprised of. People often think too much yet do too little, and they want too much yet give too little.
「重新思考你的理想是什麼？你的未來是什麼？人常常「想的太多，做的太少，且貪的太多，捨的太少。」
Don’t live your life with regrets. Seize the opportunity to buy a house and become a successful investor.
「為了不造成往後的遺憾，請你及早把握購屋的機會，做一個成功的投資人！」
Poverty stems from greed. Those who are impoverished must have first been tainted with greed.
「貧是因貪而起，先有貪後才有貧。所以說貪者，貧字殼。」
Greed is the stumbling block on your path to wealth. The greater the greed, the farther from wealth you’ll be.
「貪字」就是阻止你發達的絆腳石，並且愈貪就愈貧。」
Greed determines your degree of success, failure, and happiness in life.
「人生成不成功，失不失敗、快不快樂也是由「貪字」來決定的。」
In the process of buying a house, when everyone else offers high and yet you offer low and end up with nothing, the one losing out is you. That’s called being too smart for your own good.
「在搶房子的時候，別人都在加價，你還在殺價，如果你買不到任何房子，最後遭受損失的還是你，這就叫做聰明反被聰明誤。」
No greed, no gain; yet too much greed can set you back even further. Greed and restraint must be in balance just as lust and restraint must also be in balance.
「不貪不成事、但過貪也會壞事。「貪與戒」必須保持平衡，就像「色與戒」也必須保持平衡是一樣的。」
Without greed there’s no motivation. But if you’re overtaken by greed, you’re unlikely to ever make anything good of yourself. Therefore, greed must be restrained and kept under control. The only things you need to really watch out for after you’ve become successful are greed and lust.
「沒貪就沒有動力」，但如果貪心過了頭就不易成大事。所以貪心必須要有節制與分寸，「戒貪、戒色」就是在你成功之後，避免衰敗，唯一需要注意的事項了。」
Having greed for life, money, love, or knowledge is no different from having greed for smoking, drinking, and drugs. They all must be mitigated and restrained.
「對生命的貪心、對金錢的貪心、對愛情的貪心、對知識的貪心、對煙、酒、毒毒癮的貪心都是一樣，需要做適度的調整且要自我節制與戒之。」
Greed knows no bounds, but there’s no means to eliminate it. So when it comes to money, sex, alcohol, anger, drugs, and gambling, proceed with caution.
「貪無邊，戒無法，貪無需戒，但遇到財、色、酒、氣、毒、賭，就要小心從事了。」
In order to find success in your career, family, love, and health, you must exercise self-control. It is imperative that you avoid greed, lust, smoking, drinking, wastefulness, gloating, extravagance, drugs, and gabling.
「要想事業、家庭、愛情、健康都成功，你就必須要有自我節制，戒貪、戒色、戒煙酒、戒浪費、戒炫耀、戒排場、戒毒、戒賭，就是必須的了。」
When you cherish everything you have—life, love, possessions, and opportunities—your gratefulness will bring your endless surprises and fortune.
「只要惜福、惜緣、惜物、惜機會，相信每一個感恩都會帶給你無限的驚喜與福份。」
Don’t blame the world for your losses; learn to be thankful of them for they make you a stronger person and help you understand how precious life is.
「不要怨天尤人，總要學習為失去的感恩，讓自己變得堅強，變得更珍惜生命。」
