你知道怎样才能成为百万富翁吗？在下面的文章作者就介绍了自己成为百万富翁的秘———做别人认为太容易而不去做的事情。 People often ask me how I became successful in that six-year period of time while many of the people I knew did not. The answer is simple: The things I found to be easy to do, they found to be easy not to do. I found it easy to set the goals that could change my life. They found it easy not to. I found it easy to read the books that could affect my thinking. They found that easy not to. I found it easy to attend the classes. They said it probably really wouldn’t matter. Six years later, I’m a millionaire and they are all still blaming(责备) the economy, the government and company policies. They neglected(忽视) to do the basic, easy things. In fact, the primary reason most people are not doing can be summed up in a single word: neglect. It is not the lack of money. It is not the lack of opportunity. It is not the lack of books. We have plenty of good advisors. The major reason that so few take advantage of all that we have is neglect. Don’t do the things which cause us to feel guilty(感到内疚的) and guilt erodes(侵蚀) our self-confidence. As our self-confidence reduces, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity goes down, so do our results. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken. And as our attitude begins changing from positive to negative, our self-confidence becomes even less...and on and on it goes. So my suggestion is that when giving choice of“easy to” and “easy not to”， do not neglect to do the simple, basic，“easy” but potentially life-changing activities.
