化渴望為財(cái)富的六大步驟
The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, these:
First: fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter.)
Second: determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.")
Third: establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.
Forth: create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are read or not, to put this plan into action.
Fifth: write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.
Sixth: read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read--see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.
It is important that you follow the instructions described in these six steps. It is especially important that you observe, and follow the instructions in the sixth paragraph. You may complain that it is impossible for you to "see yourself in possession of money" before you actually have it. Here is where a burning desire will come to you aid. If you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it. The object is to want money, and to become so determined to have it that you convince yourself you will have it.

化渴望為財(cái)富的六大步驟
化渴望為財(cái)富的方法，包含了如下的六大實(shí)際步驟：
第一：牢記你所渴望金錢的“確切”數(shù)目。光是說(shuō)：“我要很多錢。”這樣子是不夠的。對(duì)其額度要非?？隙?。(確定性之必要，有其心理學(xué)上的緣由，隨后的章節(jié)會(huì)加以說(shuō)明。)
第二：決定一下，你要“付出”什么以求報(bào)償。(天底下是沒(méi)有“不勞而獲”這種事的。
第三：設(shè)定你想“擁有”所渴望金錢的確切日期。
第四：草擬實(shí)現(xiàn)渴望的確切計(jì)劃，并且“立即”行動(dòng)，不論你準(zhǔn)備妥當(dāng)與否，都要將計(jì)劃付諸實(shí)施。
第五：簡(jiǎn)單明了地寫下你想獲得的金錢數(shù)目，及獲得這筆 錢的時(shí)限。說(shuō)明你打算憑什么去取得這筆錢，并詳加描述你累 聚這筆錢的計(jì)劃。
第六：一天朗誦兩遍你寫好的告白，早晨起床時(shí)念一遍，晚上睡覺前念一遍。念的時(shí)候，要有如親見目睹一般，實(shí)際體會(huì)真正擁有這筆錢時(shí)的感覺。
遵行這六大步驟的指示是非常重要的。你有必要切實(shí)遵照這六個(gè)段落的指示，并奉行不渝。你可能會(huì)嘀咕，你又沒(méi)有真正擁有這筆錢，要“目睹自己實(shí)際擁有這筆錢，” 似乎不太可能。這就該是沸騰的渴望派上用場(chǎng)的時(shí)刻了。如果你真的熱切 渴望要有錢，你的渴望會(huì)變成魂?duì)繅?mèng)縈的迫切企求，要讓自己 有如置身其境也就易如反掌了。你的目標(biāo)就是想要有錢，并且要堅(jiān)定不移，堅(jiān)定到你相信自己會(huì)擁有這筆錢的地步。

Scent of a Woman
(S = Lt. Colonel Frank Slade; T = Mr Trask, the headmaster of Baird School)
S: This is such a crock of shit.
T: Please watch your language, Mr. Slade, you are in the Baird school, not a barracks. Mr. Simms, I will give you one final opportunity to speak up.
S: Mr. Simms doesn’t want it. He doesn't need to be labeled, “still worthy of being a Baird man.” What the hell is that? What is your motto here? “Boys, inform on your classmates, save your hide, anything short of that we’re going to burn you at the stake’? Well, gentlemen, when the shit hits the fan, some guys run and some guys stay. Here’s Charlie, facing the fire, and there’s George, hiding in big daddy’s pocket. And what are you doing? You’re going to reward George and destroy Charlie.
T: Are you finished Mr. Slade?
S: No, I’m just getting warmed up. I don’t know who went to this place. William Howard Taft, William Jennings Bride, William Tell, whoever. Their spirit is dead, if they ever had one, it’s gone. You are building a rat ship here. A vessel for seagoing snitches. And if you think you’re preparing these minnows for manhood, you better think again. Because I say you are killing the very spirit this institution proclaims it instills. What a sham. What kind of a show are you putting on here today? I mean, the only class in this act is sitting next to me, and I’m here to tell you that this boy’s soul is intact. It’s non-negotiable, and you know how I know? Someone here, and I’m not going to say who, offered to buy. Only Charlie here wasn’t selling.
T: Sir, you’re out of order.
S: I’ll show you out of order! You don’t know what out of order is, Mr. Trask. I’d show you but I’m too old, I’m too tired, I’m too fucking blind. If I were the man I was five years ago, I’d take a flame thrower to this place! Out of order, who the hell you think you’re talking to? I’ve been around, you know? There was a time I could see. And I have seen. Boys like these, younger than these, their arms torn out, their legs ripped off. But that is nothing like the sight of an amputated spirit. There is no prosthetic for that. You think you’re merely sending this splendid, foot soldier back home to Oregon with his tail between his legs? But I say you are executing his soul. And why? Because he’s not a Baird man. Baird men. You hurt this boy, you’re gonna be Baird bums, the lot of you. And Harry, Jimmy, Trent wherever you are out there, fuck you too.
T: Stand down, Mr. Slade.
S: I’m not finished. As I came in here, I heard those words, ‘cradle of leadership’. Well when the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and it has fallen here, it has fallen! Makers of men, creators of leaders, be careful what kind of leaders you’re producing here. I don’t know if Charlie’s silence here today is right or wrong, I’m not a judge or jury, but I can tell you this, he won’t sell anybody out to buy his future. And that, my friends, is called integrity. That’s called courage. Now that’s the stuff leaders should be made of.
不，我不原諒你這場(chǎng)聽證會(huì)簡(jiǎn)直胡鬧!!(This is such a crock of shit ! )
-“請(qǐng)小心措詞，你身在博德，不是軍營(yíng)。西門先生，我給你最后機(jī)會(huì)”(Please watch your language,Mr. Slade.You are in the Baird school,not a barracks. Mr. Simms, I will give you one final opportunity to speak up. )

Teachers Are People
Today, more than ever before, education is playing an important role in the teaching of children. The school has become a vital part of every community, drawing children from every walk of life.
The children are eager to take advantage of its opportunities, emerging from their sheltered confines, dipping easily into the habits of the student. They are coming from far and near, struggling towards an education, whetting their appetites for knowledge, forming friendships for the future. Childish energy lets nothing stand in its way. In their tiny hands, they hold the future.
The person upon whose capable shoulders rests the responsibility for their education is that unsung hero, the teacher. He must be fair, honest, understanding, and intelligent. He must handle every situation with the utmost dignity. With a complete understanding of his pupils, the experienced teacher equips himself for the classroom. The students eagerly return to the classroom. Youthful minds are encouraged to develop their latent talents. Ah, yes, the creative outlets of the arts and the crafts. Tests and examinations fill out the day, as bright little minds gather knowledge form their teacher. But the little hands make the time pass quickly.
Contrary to popular belief, the teacher’s work is not through at the end of the school day. Oh, no. There’re many unfinished chores -- blackboards to be cleaned, erasers dusted, and of course the ever-present parent-teacher relationship. So it’s to this great profession and its halls of learning that we dedicate this. When the occasion arises, there’re times when disciplinary actions must be taken.
