The Science of Getting Rich(Wallace D. Wattles)

1. Getting rich is not a zero-sum game.

To eliminate poverty and poverty,

Rather than increasing the number of rich people thinking about poverty,

We need to increase the number of people who have the conviction to become rich.

Even if we go back about 200 years, there were many cases of people starving to death, freezing to death, dying from heat, and dying from disease.

However, in today's era, with the advancement of technology and science, such things have almost disappeared due to air conditioning, abundant food, and excellent medical technology.

In the past, during the era of royal power, only a few kings and nobles enjoyed the benefits, technology, and food. Nowadays, even ordinary people enjoy much better food, services, and benefits than kings.

I think all of this has developed because of democracy, capitalism, the economic system, and consideration for each other.

If we take a disease as an example, how many people put in effort to solve the disease, and there must have been altruistic and economic thoughts about eliminating the disease.

Ultimately, the development of the vaccine had the effect of making everyone happy.

Mass production, which had previously been limited by human labor, is now in abundance thanks to the development of machinery and technology, and a large amount of food and various industrial products exist, creating good benefits for everyone.

Therefore, if you want a better life, I think you need to continue to think and develop ways to be better and be happier together.

Communism cannot develop like this because it believes that everyone except a few in the ruling class should be equal.

Just looking at the current North Korea and South Korea, there is a clear difference.

I believe that communism is no different from a slightly improved version of the royal power era of the past.

Therefore, our lives today are very free and abundant, and there is hope for further development.

​

2. Develop the patience to change yourself

Anything that is engraved in your mind must be done through your own effort.

Such efforts often require long-term, sustained patience.

There is a story like this in One Thing.

'It was found that it takes an average of 66 days to develop a new habit.' - One Thing, mobile e-book: 117p

To learn something or develop a habit, you need to keep the above average as a minimum and do it repeatedly for at least two months.

I think it takes two months for your brain to get used to it.

When driving, at first you keep looking back and forth at the side mirror, rear-view mirror, and the front, but as you get used to it, you only glance when necessary.

Like all things, it is difficult, stressful, and tiring at first, but once you get used to it, you will react automatically like a machine.

In my case, reading books now acts like a habit, but repeated reading eventually became automated.

Without continuous patience, any behavior cannot become a habit, and it is also difficult to change something that has already become a habit.

How about taking a look at yourself by looking for your automated behaviors and seeing if there is anything that needs to be modified?

Cars and machines need to be properly inspected to last longer and get better.

Humans are even better than machines and have better software and hardware.

Machines can only perform simple labor inputted by humans, but they cannot do creative or productive work like humans.

When machines break down, they need to be replaced with new parts and someone has to take care of them, but humans have the ability to recover on their own even when they get sick.

Even though we have such great software and hardware, I think it would be a waste if we couldn't use it well.

The human brain can accept, process, and control enormous amounts of data with less power than existing supercomputers.

Don't think low of yourself, but trust your brain and be patient.

​

3. Blaming the environment, society, or others is of no help.

​

Don't wait for circumstances to change.

Those good times may never come.

The only way to reach a better environment is to use your current environment constructively.

In the past, housing prices were expensive relative to income level.

It's not that house prices are rising, it's that the value of money is falling.

If you think the environment is the problem, would anyone have succeeded in the past even though the environment was worse than it is now?

The Republic of Korea especially experienced war, and life after the war must have been miserable.

It would have been a ridiculous situation, especially in the current environment, and there would have been nothing.

If there were many people who complained about the environment and blamed everything on others and society, would the Republic of Korea have grown like this?

I think it was because I quickly adapted to the environment and changed my environment that I didn't end up in the good environment I am today.

I think it's still the same now.

I still think it's difficult, but new paths are always open, and I believe it's possible to change in a better direction if you change your way of thinking.

For example, even if the environment is perfect for a person, he or she cannot succeed if he or she is not prepared.

So, I think you need to keep tapping and use it according to your situation.

I am not interested in making a lot of money through real estate or stocks, but if real estate and stocks are not the right investment method for me, I need to change it to something that suits me.

If you have the temperament to be good at sales, would it suit your temperament if you were to sit down with someone to run stocks?

Would it be possible for someone who is good at sitting tasks such as analysis and documentation to become an athlete?

Instead of talking about how society is, the economy is bad, the environment is difficult, etc., you should always keep looking for what you can do well and what is right for you.

The Science of Getting Rich

The step-by-step scientific approach to attracting financial and spiritual wealth • This is the 100-year-old book that inspired Rhonda Byrne's bestselling The Secret • Explains the precise series of practical steps that, if followed, guarantee prosperity • Reveals the secrets that underlie today’s success and prosperity movements In his bestselling book, Wallace D. Wattles explains that “universal mind” underlies and permeates all creation. Through the process of visualization we can engage the law of attraction--impressing our thoughts upon “formless substance” and bringing the desired object or circumstances into material form. The author emphasizes the critical importance of attitude: only by aligning ourselves with the positive forces of natural law can we gain unlimited access to the creative mind and its abundant rewards. The Science of Getting Rich holds the secret to how economic and emotional security can be achieved in a practical, imaginative, and noncompetitive way, while maintaining a loving and harmonious relationship with all of life. By living in accordance with the positive principles outlined in this book, we can find our rightful place in the cosmic scheme and create for ourselves an environment in which to grow in wealth, wisdom, and happiness. Rhonda Byrne, in her book and DVD, The Secret, tells how a 100-year-old book entered her life and changed it forever. Here is that book. Written in 1910, The Science of Getting Rich inspired Byrne to create her bestselling DVD, and subsequently, to write her book. She has said that it “gave me a glimpse of The Secret. It was like a flame inside of my heart. And with every day since, it's just become a raging fire of wanting to share all of this with the world.” “There is a science of getting rich. It is an exact science, like algebra or arithmetic. There are certain laws which govern the process of acquiring riches. Once a person learns and obeys these laws, he will get rich with mathematical certainty.” --Wallace D. Wattles, The Science of Getting Rich
