Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence, most workers amp。quot。live within their means l0.amp。quot。 They work and they pay the bills. Instead I remend to young people to seek work for what they will learn,more than what they will earn.常言道，“工作(job)就是‘比破產(chǎn)強(qiáng)一點(Just Over Broke)’的縮寫“。然而不幸的是，這句話確實適用于千百萬人，因為學(xué)校沒有把財商看作是一種才智，大部分工人都“量入為出”：干活掙錢，支付賬單。相反，我勸告年輕人在尋找工作時要看看能從中學(xué)到什么，而不是只看能掙到多少。Look down the road at what skills they want to acquire before choosing a specific profession and before getting trapped in the amp。quot。Rat Racellamp。quot。. Once people are trapped in the lifelong process of bill paying, they bee like those little hamsters12 running around in those little metal wheels. Their little furry legs are spinning furiously, the wheel is turning furiously, but e tomorrow morning, they’II still be in the same cage: great job.在選擇某種特定職業(yè)之前或是陷入“老鼠賽跑（激烈的競爭）”之前，要好好掂量自己到底需要獲得什么技能。一旦人們?yōu)橹Ц顿~單而整天疲于奔命，就和那些在小鐵輪里不停奔跑轉(zhuǎn)圈的小老鼠一樣了。老鼠的小毛腿跑得飛快，小鐵輪也轉(zhuǎn)得飛快，可到了第二天早上，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己依然困在同一個老鼠籠里，那就是：重要的工作。When I ask the classes I teach, amp。quot。How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?amp。quot。almost all the students raise their then ask, “So if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how e McDonald’s makes more money than you?amp。quot。芻我在自己教授的班級上問到“你們當(dāng)中有多少人做的漢堡包能比麥當(dāng)勞更好”時，幾乎所有的學(xué)生都舉起了手。我接著問，“如果你們當(dāng)中大部分人都能做出比麥當(dāng)勞更好的漢堡包，那為什么麥當(dāng)勞比你們更能賺餞？”The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems. The reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems.答案是顯而易見的：麥當(dāng)勞擁有一套出色的運(yùn)營體系。許多才華橫溢的人之所以貧窮的原因，就是因為他們只是專心于做更好的漢堡包，而對運(yùn)營體系幾乎一無所知。The world is filled with talented poor people. All too often, they’re poor or struggle financially or earn less than they are capable of, not because of what they know but because of what they do not know. They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.世界上到處都是有才華的窮人。在很多情況下，他們之所以貧窮、生活拮據(jù)或者收入與其能力不相符，不是因為他們己知的東西而是因為他們未知的東西。他們只將注意力集中在提高和完善做漢堡包的技術(shù)上，卻不注意提高有關(guān)漢堡包的銷售和送貨技能。
