10、essintheir1ives.JasonHar1eyisoneexamp1e.对于很多人来说,成为百万富翁是成功的象征,并将此作为最终目标。他们花一半时间想象各种发财和达到他们期望的成功的方法,另一半时间则用来考虑一旦发了财他们会干什么。但是,百万富翁们都在实现目标后获得所寻求的成功感了吗?有些人成为百万富翁后仍然担心金钱问题一一他们努力工作,变得富有,但他们需要继续赚钱,这样才不会丧失已经获得的成就感。然而有些人却放弃了他们的百万财富,找到了人生中其他形式的成功。詹森哈利就是一个例子。Sixteenyearsago,Jasonwasaco11egeprofessorwithahugesix

12、ofOtherthingsfromcharityshops.十六年前,詹森是一名大学教授,拥有一套6间卧室的大房子和200万美元的财富。现在他住在一间只有二手家具的小宿舍里。根本没有迹象能表明詹森是一个富有而成功的人!房子外面有一个小花园,里面有几棵果树,詹森很喜欢侍弄它们。他还种了一些蔬菜和花。他从慈善商店买衣服和许多其他的东西。ButJasonappreciatesthischange.Heisp1easedtogiveupthe1ifesty1eofarichman.Hewastiredofbeingregardedas1ivingasuccessfu11ife,asapersonwho

15、带来了快乐和成功感。我不需要有很多钱,也不想再买更多的东西。我拥有的已经够多了,詹森说。“我想要简单的生活并乐于帮助别人。几年前,我是百万富翁,但我知道每年有数百万人死于饥饿,而且有些地方没有学校和老师。这么多人永远不能上学,他们没有接受教育和开启新生活的机会。这让我非常担心,作为一位富人不能有所为,我感到非常内疚。”Thereforehegaveawaya11hismoneytocharities.Wheneverhehadmorethantwothousanddo11ars,hewou1dgiveawaysma11banknotestohome1esspeop1einthestreetso
