Waddles wrote the science of getting rich over 100 years ago in 1910, but the principles remain useful in today's modern world.
沃德尔斯（Waddles）早在100多年前的1910年就写下了关于如何致富的科学方法；这些原则在当今的现代社会中依然具有实用性。
There are not very many books that can continue to be relevant after this long.
能够历经如此漫长的时间后依然保持其相关性的书籍并不多。
Wallace claims, and I quote, every man and woman who does this will certainly get rich.
华莱士声称（我引用他的原话）：“每一个从事这项工作的人，肯定都会发财。
For the science here, an applied is an exact science and failure is impossible.
从科学的角度来看，应用科学属于精确科学范畴，因此失败是不可能发生的。
Well, I'll let you determine that as we go through the main ideas of the book, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D.
好吧，当我们一起学习华莱士·D·沃勒斯所著的《致富的科学》这本书中的主要观点时，我会让你自己来做出判断。

And let's get started.
那么，让我们开始吧。
Idea number one, your thoughts create reality.
第一个重要观点是：你的思想会创造出现实。
This is a principle that has been talked about by many entrepreneurs in a variety of different ways.
这是一个被许多企业家以不同方式讨论过的原则。
Most things that we have today were part of our mind at some point.
我们今天所拥有的一切，其实都在某个时刻曾存在于我们的想象之中（即成为我们思维的一部分）。
We imagine them, we envision them, and then we make them reality.
我们想象它们，将它们构想出来，然后让它们成为现实。
Before we create anything, whether it's a business, a lifestyle, or a product, it has to be created in our mind first.
在我们真正创造出任何东西之前——无论是企业、某种生活方式，还是某种产品——这些东西首先必须存在于我们的脑海之中。
You see, things are created twice, once in the mind, then in the physical reality.
你看，事物其实是被“创造”两次的：第一次是在人们的脑海中，第二次才是在现实世界中。
But Wallace takes it a little further.
但华莱士的见解更进一步。
He says that even if something seems impossible to the naked eye,
他说，即使某件事在肉眼看来似乎是不可能完成的，
we must still believe that it is possible and what we want is there waiting for us.
我们仍然必须相信，这一切都是可能的；我们所追求的东西就在那里，等待着我们去实现。
Many people call this the law of attraction, manifestation, or the self -fulfilling prophecy.
许多人将这种现象称为“吸引力法则”（law of attraction）、“心想事成”（manifestation），或者“自我实现的预言”（self-fulfilling prophecy）。
They're all versions of the idea that if we truly believe that something will happen, we'll naturally begin looking for the opportunities to make it happen.
这些观点其实都在表达同一个核心思想：如果我们真的相信某件事会发生，那么我们就会自然而然地开始寻找实现它的机会。
This not only helps us become naturally aware of potential opportunities,
这不仅有助于我们自然而然地察觉到潜在的机会，
but truly believing that your goals will become a reality will create a strong perseverance to achieve them.
但只有真正相信自己的目标能够实现，才能产生强烈的毅力去追求它们。
We would feel a little silly giving up if we know that the price is already there waiting for us.
如果我们知道那个我们想要的东西的价格其实早已存在、就在我们触手可及的地方，那么放弃它的话，我们会觉得自己有点傻。
Once we internalize this belief, we no longer believe failure exists, unless we stop trying.
一旦我们将这种信念内化为自己的思维方式，我们就不再认为失败是真实存在的了——除非我们主动放弃努力。
So even when things get tough, you know it's just a matter of time before you achieve your goals,
所以，即使遇到困难，你也知道实现目标只是时间问题而已。
and the struggles are just part of the journey to get there.
这些困难只是通往目标的道路上的一部分罢了。
This is why it's important to guard your thoughts and what you let inside your mind.
这就是为什么保护自己的思想、以及不让哪些东西进入自己的脑海变得如此重要的原因。
You must focus on feeding your mind the type of information that will reinforce the belief that you can actually achieve your goals.
你必须专注于向自己的大脑输入那些能够强化“自己确实能够实现目标”这一信念的信息。
You must set up your environment that makes it difficult for unproductive thoughts to appear.
你必须调整自己的环境，让那些无意义的、消极的念头难以产生。
So question, what is one thing that you can do right now to make your environment or your mind more positive?
那么问题来了：你现在可以做些什么，来让自己的环境或心态变得更加积极呢？

请在评论区告诉我你的想法。
Idea number two, get clear on your goals.
第二个建议是：明确自己的目标。
Have you ever had those times where you think about the life you want to have and the goals you want to achieve,
你是否曾经有过这样的时刻：你会思考自己想要过的生活以及想要实现的目标？
and you get so motivated to work hard and achieve those goals?
你会因此受到极大的激励，努力工作并实现那些目标，对吗？
But also you have those other days where you just can't get motivated to get any work done.
不过，也有些日子里，你就是提不起劲来，什么工作都做不了。
It's okay, we've all been there.
没关系，我们都经历过这种情况。
But you see, this can be the result of having or not having a powerful desire for your goals.
但你看，这可能取决于你是否对自己的目标有着强烈的渴望（即是否拥有强烈的动力去实现这些目标）。
According to Wallace, having a clear picture
根据华莱士的观点，要有一个清晰的认识（或画面）。
of what your goals are and spending time going over these details creates a powerful desire in our minds to go and achieve them.
明确自己的目标，并花时间仔细思考这些细节，会在我们心中激发出强烈的愿望——去实现这些目标。
