Rich is better--女人要有錢 (中文版在後麵)zt

(2007-12-17 00:23:31) 下一個
Friday night, chatting with a friend.
--“What kind of life do you really want Sherry?”
--“I want be a single rich woman!”
--“Wow! That won’t be easy.”
--“It’s not too difficult! See, today I’m single, so I’m already half done getting there, I just need to work hard, make money, and get rich!”
--“Why do you wanna be rich?”
--“Well, money is not the most important thing, but rich is always better!”

Maybe you will say: it’s not cute for a girl to talk about money; or, you guys in business care too much about money! Then I prefer to be “real” than “cute”.
“Money is no object”—people who say that usually have too much money, or they have money problems and pretend that they don’t care.

Humans believe money is the root of all evil. So we are shy to talk about money, to admit that we need money. In fact, money is just a medium of exchange in transactions, it’s a tool after all, it’s all up to the manipulator.

There is nothing wrong that you like to make money, as long as you make money in the right way, and don’t become a slave of money.

Sure, money is not the most important thing in life, but it is important! And it’s no exception for girls! We need to have a job, have our own income, and to be capable to live by ourselves.

I know that a lot of movies and books are telling you: marry a rich guy! But not many people tell you that asking money from others, you sell your dignity and freedom at the same time.

How long can you be young and pretty? How far can you count on that man? Only you can ensure your life.

Don’t be a Cinderella girl dreaming of Prince Charming who’s coming to save your life, even if you meet a prince, who can guarantee you that “princess and prince will live happily ever after!?” all the fairy tales stop at the most beautiful moment, but life continues, Diana married Prince Charles, she was never really happy after. Why don’t you build up your own kingdom and make yourself a queen? So if someday, some prince comes knocking at the door of your castle, you still have the choice to let him in or not; even he gets in, he is just a man coming to share the love, he is not your life saver, you are equal.

It’s true that building up your castle is much more work than just sitting and waiting, but this project not only brings you a better material life, you are building up your self-confidence and self-respect at the same time. And girls who wait for the prince, they may catch a frog by mistake when they run out of patience, but the frog which becomes prince by a kiss is only true in fairy tales, in real life even you kiss to stifling, that frog is still a frog. Don’t be silly!

You don’t necessarily have to be millionaire, but you should have enough to support the life you want.

Literary giant LuXun said: you can’t buy freedom with money, but you may sell freedom for money.
The author of a book《Rich is better》Judy Resnick said: I've been rich and I’ve been poor--and believe me, rich is better.
Even Holy Bible says: Don’t be too poor, otherwise you lose god’s face!

And I am telling you: never give up your kingdom for no matter a real prince or a frog! I did give up everything in China to come here, he said: take this chance to study, I will take care of you. More then half year I didn’t work, all the promises he made was still somewhere around, but he shouted at me: you think you didn’t cost me, the flower on your head cost me 5$! I looked at this man in everything famous brand I bought for him in China, the tie was even from Italy, never mind how much I spent. I wanted to laugh but I couldn’t, a man with 7 cars he wouldn’t care about 5$, he just happened to know how to hit me vital in one shot—even he don’t know Chinese KungFu. I like shopping but I’m too proud to spend his money, the shopping centre was not even 500M away, I never went there once, the only time I took a flower in supermarket, more than a slap on my face that moment.

The economic base determines the superstructure. There is no reason to being poor and pitiful. Destiny is in our hands, we have to handle it on our own.

Some people think it’s difficult for woman to make money. You know why some women are poor? The answer is easy, because they spend too much time and energy working on love and men! If we focus more on ourselves, we can be even more successful than men.

Life would be tough if we make money because we have to, but intelligent ladies can find balance in their job, enjoy their work, making money happily!

Use your own money, buy the most beautiful flower, lighting up yourself! Frog? Stay out of our way!!

Rich is better--女人要有錢 (Chinese Version)

自己賺錢買花戴
與人閑扯。
——你到底想要什麽樣的生活呢?
——我要做個有錢的單身女人!
——這倒不容易達到了。
——也不難啊,我現在單身,這不就已經成了一半了嘛,接下來呢,就是努力賺錢啦。
——幹嘛要有錢呢?
——錢不是最重要的,但是有錢總是比較好些。
 
我明白別人聽到這些是怎麽想的:一個女孩子家家的,說錢太不可愛了,俗!或者是:你們學商的都愛錢 !
如果要比清高,我甘拜下風。我寧願做個真實的自己,而非捏著鼻子說”錢乃阿堵物”的可愛淑女。現實社會中女人常常跟弱勢群體直接掛鉤,獨立自主一點的被稱做”女強人”,跟男人所定義的”可愛” 就基本不搭界了。這不過是大男子們為方便掌控女人布的局罷了。
喜歡賺錢沒什麽不對啊,跟道德跟品性無關,隻要”君子愛財,取之有道.”
憑什麽女人就該做一個等待白馬王子救贖的灰姑娘,世界上哪來那麽多的王子到處拯救做白日夢的灰姑娘啊,再說了灰姑娘嫁給了王子後就從此”幸福快樂的生活在一起了嗎”?童話都在最美的時候嘎然而止,現實中,戴安娜嫁入皇室卻一直鬱鬱寡歡。
渺茫的等待遠不如一磚一瓦的建起自己的王國來得實際!那麽哪怕有一天王子來到你的城堡前,你還可以考慮要不要讓他進來;進來的也隻是一個愛你的男人,而不是一個救世主,你是自己王國裏尊貴美麗的女王,你們是平等的——不管他騎的是什麽馬。
自己努力壘砌城堡看起來是比閑閑地等待要辛苦,但是這項工程帶來的不僅是物質生活的提升,跟著城牆一起壘起的更是自信和尊嚴。而等得頭昏眼花的女孩們,往往心急之下撲著青蛙也錯當王子。但那隻吻一下會變成王子的青蛙隻住在童話裏,現實中裝成王子的青蛙,你吻他到窒息他也變不了王子。別聽他信誓旦旦誇口照顧你一輩子, 誰稀罕被養一輩子來著?! 經濟基礎決定上層建築,依賴於他人,你付出的是尊嚴和自由。
年輕美貌可以維持多久?嫁的有錢人又可以依賴多久? 隻有自身的努力才能保障自己的人生。現實社會明示暗示女人:要嫁個有錢人。 但很少人能誠實地告訴女人:仰人鼻息,跟男人伸手,有多麽折煞尊嚴。
花自己的錢是舒坦快樂的。現代女子都明白,錢雖然不能買來一切,但常可以維護尊嚴和自由。
魯迅說:自由固不是錢所能買到的,但能夠為錢所賣掉。
《女人要有錢》的作者茱蒂.瑞斯尼克說:女人要青春,要美麗,要遇見好男人,更要有錢才會幸福。
連《聖經》都說:不要太貧窮,否則會丟了神的臉。
我說:永遠別放棄自己的城堡,不論是為了王子或是青蛙。曾經為了所謂的愛情,我放棄一切來到這裏,他說,利用這個機會好好去學習,我會照顧你的。半年多的時間裏我沒有工作,結果誓言還在耳邊,他卻對我叫嚷,你以為你沒花我錢麽,你頭上的花花了我五塊錢呢!眼前這個男人,全身上下的都是我當初送的中國名牌,領帶還是意大利的,從沒在意過花了多少。想笑卻笑不出來,一個有著7輛車的男人不會在意這區區5塊錢,他不過是懂得怎樣漂亮地一刀刺中我的死穴。我愛逛街卻驕傲到不肯花他的錢,住在離購物區500米不到,從沒去逛過,唯一一次超市裏要的一朵花,這一刻卻比一個巴掌更響亮。
女人要有錢,要把握自己的人生,更要維護生命的尊嚴。 我們不必太富有,但是要能夠自給自足。
很多人叫囂女人賺錢太不容易了,你知道為什麽女人會沒有錢?答案很簡單,因為女人花了太多的時間在經營愛情經營男人身上了!如果我們把精力多一點點放在自己身上,女人遠可以比男人更成功。
人生最辛苦的一件事,就是為了賺錢而賺錢, 聰明的女人可以在工作中找到樂趣,把賺錢建立在愛好的基礎上,快樂地賺錢!
花自己的錢,買朵最美的花戴,點亮你的人生。青蛙麽,還是讓他一邊涼快去好了。

心靈之約 回複 悄悄話 很想如此,隻是女人注定由水做成,賺多少的錢都不如有一個溫馨的家,愛自己的人來的幸福和真實。當然自立一定是不可少的人生備胎。新年快樂。
jiahe 回複 悄悄話 竹青MM想必一定是個相夫教子的賢妻良母,看到這篇"極左''美文產生鍾鳴的感覺可以理解,但千萬不要為此而"反右'',既然"右''有它存在的道理,還是中庸一些更好.
清影MM的補充使得這篇美文的立論更加完美,女人掙錢嫁人兩不誤,魚和熊掌而兼得.
暗香清影 回複 悄悄話 好文!但鑒於作者自身的生活狀況,難免有失偏頗。

我認為女人應該有獨立生活的能力,而且要嫁一個肯為自己花錢的老公,這樣即使不工作,一樣有尊嚴和自由;即使老公有一天離開自己,自己也有能力自立。
竹青 回複 悄悄話 寫得很真實!
我仿佛聽到一聲鍾鳴!
