He claimed to have acquired a great deal of wealth himself and found it highly beneficial to fueling his path with a heart. As I consider his suggestion, I find myself not having much clarity(清晰的思維)as to what I39。d do with I million or 10 million more money flowing through my life. I put so much attention on creativity, fulfillment, exploration, relationships, etc. that I find it difficult to intelligently imagine how more financial resources could provide extra fuel for that, except in small ways or in ways that aren39。t particularly meaningful to me. Lately I39。ve been considering what it would be like to deliberately reduce my ine for a while and see if I could live on much less,just for the experience. What if I capped my net personal ine at $10,000 per year, for instance? That isn39。t such a big deal to me, though, since I already went through a period of low ine like that during the 1990s, and I learned that I could still do what I love regardless of ine. I39。ve never worked in a business environmentthe only job I39。ve ever had was working for $6/hour in a video game store while I was in college. So I39。ve never seen how larger operations allocate resources. That39。s probably why I haven39。t pushed myself to acquire more. As I mentioned in my book. Money and Your Path With a Heart,my main financial goal in life was to make money irrelevant in my life. I39。m not interested in building an empire. What interests me is exploring personal growth and sharing what I learn along the way. In some ways I feel that acquiring and acquiring and allocating more resources could bee a big distraction. I39。m already doing what I want to be doing, so why rick distracting myself to acquire more resources, especially when I lack the idea about how I should treat such resources? I like having freedom and flexibility,and I don39。t really see how more resources would meaningfully improve that.(1)Why did the man the author?

Scientists at the University of California Berkeley, US, announced on February 27 that rich people are more likely to do immoral things, such as lie or cheat, than poorer people. The scientists did a series of eight experiments. They published their findings online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNA《美國國家科學(xué)院院刊》). They carried out the first two experiments from the sidewalk near Berkeley. They noted that drivers of newer and more expensive cars were more likely to cut off other cars and pedestrians at crosswalks. Nearly 45 percent of people driving expensive ears ignored a pedestrian pared with only 30 percent of people driving mow modest cars. In another experiment, a group of college students was asked if they would do immoral things in various everyday situations. Examples included taking printer paper from work and not telling a salesperson when he or she gave back more change. Students from higher — class families were more likely to act dishonestly. According to the scientists, rich people of
