Tim Ferris: 4-hour workweek (excerpt)
- Transfer
This is my translation of an excerpt from Tim Ferris’s book, The Four Hour Work Week, explaining the difference between the ideals and principles of the past and the ideals and principles of the New Wealth that Tim preaches. The book became the New York Times bestseller and ranks 16th in sales on Amazon.com.
(Tradition) Work for yourself.
(New Wealth) Others work for you.
T: Work when you want.
NB: Protect yourself from work-for-work and do a minimum to achieve maximum effect.
T: Retire early or young.
NB: Extend recovery periods and adventures (mini-pensions)
throughout life, on a regular basis, and understand that inactivity cannot be the goal. This can have a big impact on your life.
T: Buy all the things you would like to have.
NB: Do all the things you would like to do. Be who you would like to be. If you need any devices or devices for this, let them be. The main thing to understand is that this is not what you need to focus on in the first place.
T: Being a boss, not an employee. To govern.
NB: To be not a boss and not an employee, but to be an owner. Own trains and have someone to make sure they are on schedule.
T: Make a ton of money.
NB: To make a lot of money to achieve specific goals and realize your dream, in accordance with the stages and schedule. What are you working for?
T: Have more.
NB: To have more quality and less clutter. Owning huge financial reserves, understanding that the majority of material needs are justification for spending time on things that are not very important. Are you spending two weeks discussing the $ 10,000 discount on your new Infinity? Excellent. Do you have a purpose in life? Do you bring something useful to this world, or just shift the paper, knock on the keyboard and come home to get drunk on the weekend?
T: Make big profits in the future. For example, a large salary, the issue of shares of a company, its acquisition by a major market player, a pension, or some other “bag of gold”
NB: Think about big profits, but also create a daily influx of money. Cash flow, firstly, and Big Payout Day, secondly.
T: Do not do freely what you do not like.
NB: It’s free not to do what you don’t like, but also to freely turn your dream into reality without returning to “work-for-work”. After many years of long work, you often need to delve very deeply to rediscover your passion, “redefine” dreams, revive hobbies that you yourself have practically destroyed. The goal is not only to remove all unnecessary, because it will bring you emptiness and vacuum, but also experience and experience the best that is in this world!
