Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

追求财富，而不是金钱或地位。财富是拥有可以让你在睡觉时赚钱的资产。金钱是我们如何交换时间和财富。地位是你在社会层级中的位置。

Understand that ethical wealth creation is possible. If you secretly despise wealth, it will elude you.

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.

忽略那些玩弄地位的人。他们获得地位的方法，就是去攻击那些投身于财富创造游戏的人。

You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.

Arm yourself with specific knowledge, accountability, and leverage.
