译文: The Power of Ten Magic Rings

The 1st magic ring

1. Habit is a cable; we weave a thread of it each day, and at last we cannot break it.  

2. Human merits are valuable only when they become habits. Even such an eternal theme as "love" must be constantly tendered and transformed into a habit before it acts.

3. As for many good conceptions and principles, it is one thing to know them, but it is another to put them into action. A habit must be bridged between them. 

4. Scientist discovered that the formation of a habit averages twenty days, but once formed, the habit will be avaluable during the lifetime.

5. The cultivation of any habit is not easy, so a habit must be developed step by step, from the shallow to the deep, from the near to the distant and from gradual change to sudden change.


The 2nd magic ring 

1. People are born simple. After they deal with civilization, they become complicated especially when they fall into a whirl and can't extricate themselve from it. This makes them forget the final pursue of human nature is peace, simplicity and freedom.

2. Simplicity without complication is pale. Once I accidently put aside money, which caused trouble to me, but today when I bring it under control, it can cause no trouble.

3. To develop one's financial intelligence and keep him in possession of the rich's mentality, he must first learn how to give up and then get over the hump of obstacles and shadows.

4. The fundamental goal of the education of financial intelligence is to make people free. The original intention of increasing incomes and decreasing expenses is to lessen their vanity and irrational vying craze in money.

5. The education of financial intelligence must solve two problems when people face money—— fear and greed. However, in order to stablize their life on the surface, people are often reduced to a slave to money.

6. For money, it does not matter that you become its master but you should be harmonious and equal to it. It reflects yourself, so you should treat it with leniency.

 

The 3rd magic ring 

1. The essence of success is to be free, that is, be what you want to be, do what you like to do, go where you want to go and say what you want to say.

2. There are no lazy but aimless people in the world. The poorest people in the world are those aimless, for what elso do they have even without dreams?

3. Only definite and specific goals can be measured and only measurable ones can be achieved. 

4. To give means to be rich and to get means to be poor. Act now, and show your wealth with action. 

5. Mentality, goal and time management, which are characterized by action, focus on action. All come to the unity of "theory and practice".


The 4th magic ring 

1. Man's whole life is a process of constant entry into endless circles and strive for recognition.

2. In western society, especially in North America, only those who develop a sense of self-promotion and success are likely to win opportunities and success.

3. Internationalized human talent is not a conception of geographical meaning, but one in levels of culture and mental. Whether one is internationalized depends on his self-control, knowledge onstitution and thought patterns.

4. It's an extremely high rate to start business but fail finally. In America, there are hundreds of thousands of people starting their business, and companies of the same number are closed every year, so only a small part of people are suitable to start a business.

5. I often feel my beating heart and bounding pulse, counting how many waves my life of river can roll up. I will make my transient life throw off sparks. 

6. Fortune is no opportunity, but a choice. Fortune is never what can be waited for, but one thing you need to achieve.

 
The 5th magic ring 

1. However you define success, being optimistic is always valuable. You don't necessarily succeed if you are optimistic but you are sure to fail if you are pessimistic.  

2. The great characteristic of success focuses on standardization and quantization, that is, to standardize and quantize anything that is unclear and subtle.  

3. There is an absolute shortcut to success. Certainly it is not the whole process, but the warning that we must follow the most effective strategy of success, otherwise, haste makes waste. 

4. People will follow a certain track to change themselves. That is, result is dependent on behavior, behavior on attitude, attitude on faith, faith on self-expectation. 

5. Humans react to enviorment in the four aspects: firstly, leave it; secondly, change it; thirdly, adapt to is; fourthly, complain about it. You are likely to find vital force from the first three, but never choose the last one.

6. The secret to success is, first of all, to persevere to the end and never give up and then to follow the first one when you want to give up. 

 
The 6th magic ring 

1. People always think they are right while others and the world are wrong. Therefore they always want to change the world, change others but less think of changing themselves. Actually the change of the world should start with that of themselves.

2. Most bosses want to cultivate their employees into a person the same as themselves. In fact, those who are least like you and you most dislike may be the one needed by your team. 

3. Character, in and for itself, is neither good nor bad, neither right nor wrong. Optimistism and pessimistism both contribute to the world. The former invented the plane while the latter invented the parachute. 

4. It is a time flooded with character; it is a society full of lofty character. Many people who share little character find home belong to themselves.

5. Character is a half of one's life, so to lose it is to die a half death.  

 
The 7th magic ring

1. The Chinese attach great importance to history but lack advanced thinking. We should possess such a way of thinking —— future determines presence. 

2. It makes no sense if China just becomes a world factory. The greatest advantage is human resources, but now we pay more attention to quantity than quality. 

3. Social recognition is dynamic. There are many people in history whose achievements were not recognized by society, like Van Gogh paintings and Marx's ideas.

4. The development of individuation focuses on you personality and the avenue adapted to you. My experience is that it is the growth in spirit rather than in knowledge. 

5. The rapid development of science and technology and information explosion has put the status of skills in a higher position and caused more terrible panic than in any times.

6. In the 21st century, possession of creative learning ability is the fundamental way to meet with challenges. 

 
The 8th magic ring   Live at one's best 

1. What one seeks to pursue in life should be eternal value recognized in his inner mind, rather than fashionable market value.  

2. The powers of Wisdom, morality and willpower are important personality elements for humans. The more power one possesses, the more easily he reaches the highest level in self-realization.

3. Pinnacle experience is both a best state and a final experience. Those who have experienced this will get the feeling of not wasting his life away.

4. The demand for material is one in want, which causes a temporary and superficial feeling; The demand for self-realization is one in growth, which causes permanent and profound feeling.

5. The first-rate soup is more creative than the secondary paintings. 

 

The 9th magic ring

1. Any career planning cannot make accurate predictions at the future, but people can set their goals based on analysis of environment and personal conditions.

2. There is no standard to judge the success of career, but there is a reference. That is, during the process of achieving goals, you must have more joys than pains. 

3. One's self-realization, which is based on learning and a process of beauty, is a full display of his creative potential.

4. According to the development and management of career planning, it is never too late once you start something and there is always improvement to make in it. What is important is not where you are now but how to step forward.

5. When you haven't done well in a job, you are not qualified to say you dislike it; only after you have done it well, even beyond the leader's expectation, you are qualified to say your leaving. 

 

The 10th magic ring 


1. The innovation of career gives rise to that of new learning, so we need to get a new understanding of learning.

2. We usually treat learning as part of traditional education rather than work. Actually most people study while working. 

3. The concept that a good job is based on a good diploma is being questioned. Personnel directors do not value degree much. Instead, they lay more stress on experience, quality and creativity. 

4. When you assume the responsibility for your success, work becomes an adventure for you. I begin to treat life as my frequently-run career.

5. Education should act as a market where everyone can find corresponding resources. It also should be diverse without the same pattern. 

6. Many experts are clear and logical in theory, but they are completely confused in cultivating their children. In terms of children cultivation, nobody has the perfect method.
