Wealth is what you accumulate(累積), not what you spend. If you make $1 million a year and spend $1 million, you’re not getting wealthier, you’re just living high.

The most successful accumulators of wealth spend less than they can afford on houses, cars,vacations and entertainment. Why? Because these things offer little or no return.The wealthy would rather put their money into investments(投資) or their businesses. It’s an attitude.

Millionaires understand that when you buy an expensive house, you buy an expensive life-style too.Your property taxes(財產(chǎn)稅), insurance, and the prices of nearby services tend to be higher.

The rich man’s attitude can also be seen in his car. Many drive old cars. Sam Walton, billionaire founder of the Wal-Mart Store, Inc, drove a pickup truck.

Most millionaires measure success by net worth(凈值)，not income. Instead of taking their money home, they put as much as they can into their businesses.Why? Because the government doesn’t tax wealth; it taxes income you bring home for consumption(消費).

The person who piles up net worth fastest tends to put every dollar he can into investments, not consumption.

The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice.

The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money.They may wish to retire early,or they may want to leave something to their children.The goals vary,but two things are consistent:they have a goal in mind-- the amount they want to save by age50, perhaps--and they work unceasingly(不斷地)toward that goal.

One thing may surprise you. If you make wealth---not just income--your goal,the expensive house you’ve been dreaming about won’t seem so attractive.You’ll have the attitude.

1.In the author’s opinion,those who spend money on expensive houses and cars_____.

A. will not be taxed by the government

B. live high and have little saved

C. Have accumulated wealth in another sense.

D. can show that they are among rich

2.The rich put their money into business because_______.

A. they are not interested in luxury houses and cars

B. they can get much in return to build their wealth

C. their goal is to develop their company

D. that is the only way to spend money yet not to be taxed by the government

3.The US government doesn’t tax what you spend money on______.

A. cars B. houses C. boats D. Stock（股票）

4.To become wealthy, one should______.

A. work hard unceasingly

B. seek as much income as he can

C. stick to the way he lives

D. save up his earnings

You can help your firm innovate(創(chuàng)新) by creating a culture in which all employees are actively encouraged to put forward ideas. But how do you get the best from people and encourage them to be at their most creative.

Stress the importance of creativity. 1. If they don’t understand innovation can keep your firm competitive, your efforts at encouraging creative thinking risk falling flat.

Make time for brainstorming. Find some time for new ideas to come out. For example, set aside time for brainstorming, hold regular group works hops(研討會) and arrange team days out. A team involved in a brainstorming session is likely to be more effective. 2.You should also give individuals the space to reflect privately on their work if you think they need it.

Challenge the way staff work. 3. Ask people whether they have considered alternative ways of working and what might be achieved by doing things differently.

4.Motivate individuals or teams who come up with winning ideas by actively recognizing creativity, for example through an award scheme. You can reward those who just have a rich flow of suggestions, regardless of whether they are put into action at work.

Act on ideas. Creative thinking is only worthwhile if it results in action. Provide the time and resources to develop and carry out those ideas worth acting on. 5.In addition, the flow of ideas may well dry up if staff feel the process is pointless.

A. Reward creativity.

B. The problem is that our minds are lazy.

C. Be willing to make mistakes.

D. Make sure all your employees know that you want to hear their ideas.

E. Individuals within the team can test and improve the ideas together.

F. Encourage employees to keep looking at the way they approach their work.

G. Failure to do so means that your firm may fail to benefit from innovation.
