Samuel Smiles (1812-1904), a British man, is recognized as the "originator of modern success studies", "the father of Western success studies" and "the father of inspiration and self-help". He is hailed as the "spiritual mentor of mankind" by future generations, including Carnegie. In fact, Smiles' primary identity is not a successful scholar, but an outstanding political reformer and moralist. Perhaps because of this, the ideological value contained in his works goes beyond "success studies" in the general sense and has a strong philosophical meaning. Smiles's works have been in China for many years and have always been highly praised by readers. There are many Chinese translations, with mixed results. In order to allow Chinese readers to absorb Smiles's thoughts more accurately and concisely, this version of "Money and Life" not only strictly follows the accurate translation of the English original work, but also appropriately streamlines its content. I hope this book can help readers move more steadily and faster on the road to success. Money brings either luck or misfortune to life. "Money and Life" teaches you to always be on the side of luck, because it has changed the fate of hundreds of millions of people.
Reader comments
Just like my parents, they worked hard to create a good life for me. The book also says that labor can keep life young forever. I think it makes sense, because although grandparents are old, they still insist on working and are energetic every day! I also want to study hard, work hard in the future, and be a glorious person!
The book was written at the end of the Qing Dynasty. The author uses a positive attitude towards life and discusses the central ideas of his book from the perspectives of labor, thrift, and integrity. The most profound point here is not to live a life of debt. Such advanced ideological works were published more than a hundred years ago. Today, a hundred years later, people still have debts.
Sure enough, reading is the best medicine to heal the heart. After reading, you will suddenly not feel hesitant about your current life. When you have a good mind, life will not be too hard. I really like a sentence in the book: "Live the easiest life with the least money."
This book is rich in content, letting us know the truth that God rewards diligence, the benefits of thrift, the relationship between diligence and thrift, and the importance of health and honesty and trustworthiness.
I understand the principle, but it's difficult to implement [face covering]
