Tim Ferris: 4-hour work week (excerpt)
This is my translation of a passage from Tim Ferris’s book “The Four Hour Work Week,” explaining the difference between the ideals and principles of the past from the ideals and principles of “New Wealth,” which Tim preaches. The book has become a New York Times bestseller and ranks 16th in sales on Amazon.com.
(Tradition) Work for yourself.
(New Wealth) Others work for you.
T: Work whenever you want.
NB: Protect yourself from work-for-work and do the least for maximum effect.
')
T: Retire early or young.
NB: Spread recovery periods and adventures (mini-pensions)
for life, on a regular basis, and realize that inactivity cannot be the goal. This can have a strong impact on your life.
T: Buy all the things you would like to have.
NB: Do all the things you want to do. Be what you want to be. If you need any devices or devices, then let them be. The main thing to understand is that this is not what you need to focus on first.
T: To be a boss, not an employee. To manage.
NB: To be not a boss or an employee, but to be an owner. Own trains and have someone who make sure they go on a schedule.
T: Make a ton of money.
NB: To make a lot of money in order to achieve specific goals and realize your dream, in accordance with the stages and schedule. What are you working for?
T: Have more.
NB: Have more quality and less turmoil. To possess huge financial reserves, realizing that the majority of material needs are just an excuse to spend time on things that are not very important. Are you spending two weeks discussing a $ 10,000 discount on your new Infinity? Fine. Do you have a purpose in life? Do you bring something useful to this world, or just shift pieces of paper, knock on the keyboard and come home to get drunk on weekends?
T: Get more profit in the future. For example, a large salary, the issue of shares of a company, its acquisition by a major player in the market, a pension, or some other “bag of gold”
NB: To think about big profits, but also to create a daily flow of money. Cash flow, firstly, and the Day of Big Payments, secondly.
T: Do not freely do what you do not like.
NB: Free not to do what you don’t like, but also to freely turn your dream into reality, without going back to work-for-work. After many years of long-term work, one often has to dig deeply to re-find your passion, “redefine” dreams, revive hobbies that you 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!
