1. Time: Money is a tool for trade. With that said, we spend a good chunk of our allotted time on this earth getting, spending, worrying and fantasizing about money. You can’t buy the time and save it in your storeroom even if you are Mr. Gates. On the contrary, money takes away your time that could have been spent playing with your children or having a long walk with your alter ego. When the sun sets, a day goes away from our life forever. No money has power to bring that back to life.

時(shí)間：金錢是貿(mào)易的工具。我們把在這個(gè)地球上的大部分時(shí)間用來賺錢、花錢、擔(dān)心沒錢，幻想有錢。即使你是比爾蓋茨你也不能買到時(shí)間，把時(shí)間鎖在柜子里。相反，時(shí)間會(huì)奪走你和孩子玩耍的時(shí)間，或者和密友一起漫步的時(shí)間。日落之時(shí)，一天就永遠(yuǎn)的離開了我們。沒有錢有能把時(shí)間帶回我們生命的能力。

2. Self Awareness: Ignorance is bliss, right? It’s a curse. Not having self-awareness and self-consciousness lead to decisions that can cost you dearly. As a result, many people live a mediocre life without living for a true purpose. Their ignorance can’t be transmuted into awareness with money.

自知：無知是福，對嗎?那是胡說。不自知、沒有自我認(rèn)識做出的決定會(huì)讓你付出巨大的代價(jià)。所以，許多人因?yàn)闆]有明確的目標(biāo)而碌碌一生。錢不能讓他們從無知變?yōu)橛凶灾?/p>

3. Self esteem: I have a plethora of examples to prove that no money can purchase self-esteem. Self-esteem is earned from within. If you are your worst enemy, gods of money can’t rescue you from the self-destruction you inflict on yourself.

自尊：我有很多的例子來證明沒有錢能買到自尊。自尊是掙來的。如果你是你最大的敵人，財(cái)神也不能將你從你自己附加的自我毀滅中解救出來。

4. Health: As I write this, I found out that Senator Kennedy has brain cancer, and it is terminal. Of course money can get him the best health care possible but no money can buy insurance for a life. We buy insurance for just about everything including our life but money can never bring life back.

健康：寫這個(gè)是因?yàn)槲野l(fā)現(xiàn)參議員肯尼迪患有腦癌，而且還是晚期。當(dāng)然錢能讓他得到最好的治療，但錢也不能買到生命的保險(xiǎn)。我們買一切險(xiǎn)，包括生活，但是錢買不回生命。

5. Respect: Try this. Slap someone on his face and then hand him $100 to get his respect. Will you get it? I doubt it. We all live our life in pursuit of self-respect from peers, from family members, even from strangers. No money can buy respect from others if our actions speak volumes about our negativity – insult, rudeness and lack of respect for others.

尊重：試一下這個(gè)。給別人一個(gè)耳光，然后再給他100美元去買他的尊嚴(yán)。你會(huì)接受這100美元嗎?我很懷疑。我們生活中都是希望能從同齡人、家人、甚至是從陌生人那里獲得尊重。

6. Happiness: This is controversial. Money can buy happiness if it is spent on to bring grater financial security for the family. However, money can’t buy happiness if the purpose is to make money to make other people happy. The chase of possession of possessions can never find its destination with incessant desire to accumulate more possessions.

幸福：這點(diǎn)是相當(dāng)有爭議的。如果錢是用來為家人提供財(cái)政保障，那么錢是可以買到幸福的。但是如果目的是賺錢讓人覺得幸福，那么錢是不能給你帶來幸福的。渴望不斷累積更多的財(cái)富而追求財(cái)富永遠(yuǎn)沒有盡頭。
