Six Way to Turn Desires into Gold

The method by which desire for riches can be transmuted² into its financial equivalent, consists of six definite, practical steps, these:

First: fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say "I want plenty of money." Be definite as to the amount. (There is a psychological reason for definiteness which will be described in a subsequent chapter.)

Second: determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as "something for nothing.")

Third: establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

Forth³: create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are read or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth: write out a clear, concise⁴ statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

Sixth: read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read--see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

It is important that you follow the instructions described in these six steps. It is especially important that you observe, and follow the instructions in the sixth paragraph.

You may complain that it is impossible for you to "see yourself in possession of money" before you actually have it. Here is where a burning desire will come to you aid. If you truly desire money so keenly that your desire is an obsession⁵, you will have no difficulty in convincing yourself that you will acquire it. The object is to want money, and to become so determined⁶ to have it that you convince yourself you will have it.

化渴望为财富的方法，包含了如下的六大实际步骤：

第一：牢记你所渴望金钱的“确切”数目。光是说：“我要很多钱。”这样子是不够的。对其额度要非常肯定。(确定性之必要，有其心理学上的缘由，随后的章节会加以说明。)
