洋蔥是很高的營養價值且有神奇功效 - 兩本最值得閱讀之洋蔥食療及我的洋蔥莎拉 ( Onions are highly nutritious and Improve health a lot - The Two Most Worthy Onion Treats And My Onion Sarah )

大吃洋蔥好處:殺菌、防癌

洋蔥是日常生活中常見的蔬菜,具有很高的營養價值,而且功效卓著,堪比蔬菜界的「萬能俠」。讓我們來一起看看洋蔥的神奇功效。首先,洋蔥的營養成分有很多:每100克洋蔥中含蛋白質1.4克、脂肪0.2克、碳水化合物6.1克、粗纖維0.9克、灰分0.5克、鉀147毫克、鈣24毫克、磷39毫克、鐵0.8毫克、鋅0.23毫克、鈉4.4毫克、鎂15毫克、錳0.14毫克、銅0.05毫克、硒0.92微克、胡蘿蔔素0.02毫克、維他命B1 0.03毫克、維他命B2 0.03毫克、尼克酸0.3毫克、維他命C 8毫克、熱能1356千焦。

那麼,吃洋蔥有什麼好處呢?

菌抗感冒
洋蔥中含有植物殺菌素如大蒜素等,有很強的殺菌能力,能有效抵禦流感病毒、預防感冒。這種植物殺菌素經由呼吸道、泌尿道、汗腺排出時,能刺激這些位置的細胞管道壁分泌,所以又有祛痰、利尿、發汗以及抑菌防腐等作用。

助消化
洋蔥含有蔥蒜辣素,有濃郁的香氣,加工時因氣味刺鼻而常使人流淚。正是這特殊氣味可刺激胃酸分泌,增進食慾。動物實驗也證明,洋蔥能提高胃腸道張力,促進胃腸蠕動,從而起到開胃作用,對萎縮性胃炎、胃動力不足、消化不良等引起的食慾不振有明顯效果。

防癌症

洋蔥的防癌功效來自於它富含的硒元素和槲皮素。硒是一種抗氧化劑,能刺激人體免疫反應,從而抑制癌細胞的分裂和生長,同時還可降低致癌物的毒性。而槲皮素則能抑制致癌細胞活性,阻止癌細胞生長。一份調查顯示,常吃洋蔥比不吃的人患胃癌的機率少25%,因胃癌致死者少30%。

血壓
洋蔥是唯一含前列腺素A的植物,洋蔥是所知唯一含前列腺素A的食物,是天然的血液稀釋劑,前列腺素A能擴張血管、降低血液黏度,因而會產生降血壓、能減少外周血管和增加冠狀動脈的血流量,預防血栓形成作用。對抗人體內兒茶酚胺等升壓物質的作用,又能促進鈉鹽的排泄,從而使血壓下降,經常食用對高血壓,高血脂和心腦血管病人都有保健作用。

血糖
洋蔥還具有降血糖作用,因洋蔥中含有與降血糖藥甲磺丁脈相似的有機物,並在人體內能生成具有強力利尿作用的皮苦素。糖尿病患者每餐食洋蔥25至50g能起到較好的降低血糖和利尿的作用。

善便秘
洋蔥的硫磺成份在大腸與蛋白質,或腸內的細菌結合,形成硫化氫,能促進腸蠕動。豐富的可溶性食物纖維能刺激腸,使運動更旺盛,而寡糖也能抑制腸內壞菌增殖,有效改善女生常見的便秘症狀。
洋蔥+醋,健康功效加強,且彌補洋蔥和醋單一缺點

洋蔥和醋自古就被作為具有療效的食物,能降血壓、降血糖、抗癌等諸多功效。但是洋蔥生吃味道辛辣刺鼻,難以入口,即使加到牛奶中一起飲用,仍會感覺胃部受到強烈刺激。

但是,醋洋蔥可以補足這樣的缺點。用醋浸泡洋蔥醃漬五天以上,洋蔥特有的氣味就會變得柔和,也能減緩對胃部的刺激。

而洋蔥也能彌補醋的缺點。在中醫觀點上醋是陰性食物,不適合身體冰冷的人。陽性的洋蔥正好彌補這些缺點,二烯丙基硫醚還可以增強血液循環,溫暖身體。蒜硫胺素能消除肌肉緊繃的狀態,提高基礎代謝率,升高體溫,反而可以改善身體冰冷的症狀。

讓血液‧血管活化年輕10~20歲

洋蔥的硫化物具有減緩血液凝固的效果,可以讓血液變清澈。醋的檸檬酸可抑制血小板凝集,讓血液流動順暢。胺基酸可以防止紅血球、白血球和血小板氧化。藉著醋洋蔥這些效果,血液循環將會獲得改善。

  全身血液循環改善後,血液即使流到微血管也可以暢行無阻,最後施加在血管壁上的壓力減少,血壓便會跟著逐漸下降

活性氧是促成動脈硬化的主要原因之一,會造成變性物質沉澱在血管裡,使血管變狹窄。洋蔥內含槲皮素和穀胱甘肽等有效成分,可發揮強力的抗氧化作用,消除疾病和老化的原因,也就是活性氧,讓血管恢復年輕

目前已經有研究結果顯示,每天吃洋蔥的人中有很多人血管年齡比沒吃的人年輕10~20歲。

九成糖尿病患者,病情有明顯的改善

洋蔥的二烯丙基硫醚和槲皮素,能減少血液中多餘糖分和脂質。二烯丙基硫醚和維生素B1結合以後變成蒜硫胺素,可以讓肌肉溫暖並且活化。這樣一來肌肉對胰島素的敏感度提高,糖分代謝變旺盛,肌肉就會更容易消耗糖分作為能量使用。

另外,膳食纖維還可抑制飯後血糖值上升。醋裡的醋酸也能夠減緩飯後血糖值上升的速度。

作者長期致力於克服糖尿病的研究中,發現洋蔥內含的穀胱甘肽還具有強大的功效,有促進胰島素分泌的作用。

加速新陳代謝,轉變成易瘦體質,甚至有病患因此健康瘦下12kg!

洋蔥能減少體內多餘脂質和糖,槲皮素能夠抑制身體吸收飲食中攝取到的脂質,同時提高儲存在體內的脂肪燃燒效率。還能促進體內水分循環,幫助排出多餘水分,消除水腫,消除所謂的「水腫肥胖」。

醋的檸檬酸可以使新陳代謝旺盛,身體能量的消耗量也因此跟著增加,人就因此容易瘦下來,還能有效降低體重、腰圍、血中中性脂肪和內臟脂肪。

雖然洋蔥內含的寡糖帶有甜味,但其實卡路里不到砂糖的一半。且寡糖在人體內幾乎不會被吸收,所以可說是非常適合減肥的完美幫手。

神奇洋蔥冰塊の自癒料理奇蹟:每天2顆洋蔥冰塊入菜,自癒效果連醫生都稱讚!- 值得閱讀


村上老師自創了「洋蔥冰塊」,發明了不髒手不刺鼻的洋蔥處理法,洋蔥加熱後會釋出鮮甜味,加入料理中既美味又健康,連小孩也喜歡吃。每天定量將兩顆洋蔥冰塊入菜或飲料,其多種營養素能夠有效緩解慢性病和老化症狀。這次與周東寬醫師合作,針對16種症狀研發60道食療配方。

像是每次入睡都要花30分鐘的曹小姐,喝了安眠配方「熱洋蔥牛奶」後,當晚不知不覺就睡著了,隔天醒來也沒有多夢睡不飽的狀況,現在每天都能睡得又香又甜。

第一型糖尿病作家順子(黃煜順)將洋蔥冰塊泡熱水喝,他說:「第一次喝洋蔥水的晚上,我半夜便發生了低血糖,這是我從未發生過的事;之後的幾次試驗比較,也讓我感覺到洋蔥確實有助於血糖的控制。

魅力1、「洋蔥冰塊」能夠消除洋蔥惱人的辛辣味!

大家都知道洋蔥的好處,但是切洋蔥時眼睛受到刺激會流淚不止;而且一層一層將洋蔥剝下來也很麻煩。相信很多人都有這種困擾。

「洋蔥冰塊」製作法,利用3步驟簡單處理洋蔥。
  • 將剝除外皮的整顆洋蔥加熱(用電鍋或微波爐)
  • 用果汁機打碎熟洋蔥
  • 將洋蔥泥倒入冰塊盒中,再拿去冷凍一晚。

這樣就完成了簡單、方便、嶄新的洋蔥冰塊!「洋蔥冰塊」可以冷凍兩個月,方便隨時取用。

魅力2、就算再忙,也能用洋蔥冰塊輕鬆維持健康。正是因為美味,才能堅持天天吃。

因忙碌天天外食的人,只要將洋蔥冰塊放進保溫杯中,沖熱水喝;或是加入午餐的沙拉或湯麵中一起吃,輕鬆保持健康無負擔。甜甜的洋蔥水就像飲料一樣,能夠天天持續下去。

魅力3、「洋蔥冰塊」是天然的調味料,濃縮洋蔥的精華,避開食用加工醬料。

在食品安全危機的陰霾下,儘管我們選擇了新鮮蔬食做菜,卻容易忽略添加的調味醬,我們無法用肉眼辨別每一瓶醬料是否有危害身體的添加物,所以我們可以選擇洋蔥來提味。

利用洋蔥兩味「甘甜、鮮味」來取代味精、辣醬、沙茶醬、豆瓣醬、醬油,從第一線來把關,用無毒飲食保障自己和家人的身體健康。

魅力4、洋蔥富含高品質的優良糖分──天然寡糖,能幫助腸道恢復消化功能。

洋蔥冰塊的甜味來自寡糖,可代替精製白糖或味精,減少鹽分。添加在各種飲料、甜品、菜餚中,避免人工糖加速老化、堆積脂肪。

寡糖是乳酸菌的原料,可以促進腸道蠕動。乳酸菌的活化作用能使排泄順暢,預防及改善便祕,使過敏和鼻炎獲得改善。

魅力5、「洋蔥冰塊」具有受成年人歡迎的功效──健康瘦下去

衛生署統計,目前已有近三百萬人因肥胖名列糖尿病、中風和心臟病「準候選人」。台灣人普遍「不愛動」又「愛美食」,肥胖和血壓、血糖、血脂肪三高,和台灣前十大危險疾病密切相關。

健康從瘦身護腰開始,男性保持腰圍35吋以下,女性維持31吋以下。

洋蔥含寡糖、異蒜胺酸、穀光甘肽和槲皮素,這些成分相乘效果之下,能夠燃燒脂肪,消除肥胖、潤澤美肌。

魅力6、定量食用才是關鍵!醫師和營養師共同研發,天天吃2顆,短期見效!

營養師村上祥子和洋蔥研究的第一把交椅周東寬醫師,共同研究洋蔥冰塊的份量,發現一天2顆洋蔥冰塊(50g),約是1/4中型洋蔥,能有效改善身體不適。比起一般生吃洋蔥或將洋蔥切絲入菜,洋蔥冰塊濃縮了營養素精華,份量少容易入口,攜帶方便,能夠真正持續下去。

魅力7、洋蔥冰塊擁有有益健康的十大神奇威力

頭部穴道按摩、動脈按摩,親自實驗,身體輕鬆自在!( Head and artery message will make you young and healthy - good book to read )

對症下手,頭部穴道按摩法

臉是全身的縮圖,頭和頸部是穴道的密集地帶,一天只要按一次,身體輕鬆自在! 人的身體越往軀幹上方反射效果越高,許多穴道集中在頭部。其中又以神經系統和荷爾蒙系統的反射帶居多,對於改善自律神經失調、頭痛、肩膀痠痛、壓力等特別有幫助。給予臉部適當刺激除了具有健康效果,還能期待美容效果。就從今天開始毫無副作用的頭部穴道按摩吧! 頭部(頭、顔、首)是活化腦部、改善身心不協調重要穴道的地帶!本書根據身體不舒爽的各部位,使用有效的穴道與刺激來解說按摩方式。1天只要1次就可以讓身體輕鬆起來!

頭部與臉部聚集了視覺、聽覺、嗅覺、味覺、觸覺的感覺器官,血液流量最大。因此,一旦有人血液循環不順暢或是身體不適,從頭部與臉部就可以看出來。但究竟原因為何呢?

真正的原因在於,臉部的特定部位,其實是與身體的十二個主要內臟關係非常密切。如果身體的某個部位出現溼疹、紅疹、痘痘、紋路、黑斑等,表示與內臟對應關係出現了問題。除了生理狀況,臉部也會反映人的心理層面。

    「感到開心」幸福感會產生愉快的表情,而「感到無趣」負面情感也會如實地呈現在表情上面。情感轉變為表情,最終形成面相。即使一個人原本相貌良好,也會因為失去好奇心與
挑戰精神而顯得老態龍鍾,甚至內心刻薄的個性,最後也會顯現在臉上。

也就是說,頭部與臉部宛如一個人的履歷表,完整記錄了一個人的內臟狀態、生活習慣、心理狀態與個性。尤其是三十歲後半開始,臉部會以驚人的速度呈現一切,因此請大家務必要從日常生活中開始注意自己的身心狀態。

    「血管」就像水管,「血液」像水,一旦阻塞或充滿廢物就會不暢通,讓血液不循環,加重血管負擔,導致血壓升高。「血壓」是檢測血管是否老化的最佳指標,隨著飲食和生活習慣的改變,如果常熬夜、吃太鹹,血管老化的速度幾乎是實際年齡的2倍;一個20歲的年輕人,卻可能擁有40歲的血管。如何從食物、生活形態、按摩及運動來讓人們未來血管更健康是我這幾年覺得非常重要,血管不健康多是源於不良的飲習及生活習慣,導致血管變硬、變脆,最後演變為中風、高血壓或心肌梗塞。

    頭部動脈血管與穴道按摩方式,結合動脈血管按摩,對高血壓或血管、心自律神經失調、頭痛、肩膀痠痛、壓力改善很明顯,所以我推薦 對症下手,頭部穴道按摩法驚人的血管彈力操 這兩本書讓大家練習養生按摩方法。

驚人的血管彈力操:每天10分鐘,血管變年輕!三高、慢性病、癌症自然遠離你 ( 管マッサージ―病気にならない老化を防ぐ )

「血管按摩」的方法,造福許多慢性疾病患者和想要變年輕的人們。妹尾教授20年以來每日實踐血管按摩,身體的老化現象通通消失了,如:低血壓、膽固醇過高、視力模糊、耳鳴、臉部皺紋等情形,健康檢查時比實際年齡年輕了20歲!

「血管按摩」的動作毫無難度,一日只需10分鐘,照著書中的圖解血管彈力操,擴張動脈刺激血流,推掉附著於血管的膽固醇和脂肪。對於高血壓患者2~3星期便能感受到血壓回復正常值、也能有效預防糖尿病併發症、舒緩類風濕性關節炎,以及避免血管阻塞造成中風。

一旦血液循環順暢,你就會感到身體產生驚人的效果。就像早晨起床就要洗臉刷牙,請養成每天實行血管按摩的習慣,這樣持續做下去,不但能夠恢復年輕時的血管彈性與血液循環力,年輕一、二十歲也不是夢想了。

  
人只要過了七十歲,臉上就會出現明顯的皺紋,外表看起來就是個上了年紀的人。

  雖然有著自己還沒輸給年輕人的自信,但心裡卻很清楚體力已經跟不上精神的衝勁,這樣是不行的。

為此,我深深認為有必要對老化現象進行徹底的調查實驗。研究後,我發現了一件事──血液循環變差是造成老化的主要原因之一!專攻病理解剖學的我,長期關注血液和血管的醫學臨床與研究 ,探索支撐生命根源「細胞」的血液循環機制。從研究發現,「血液」負責運送養分和氧氣給細胞以維持身體的運作。因此,我領悟到血液循環順暢就是防止老化的不二法門。

人要常保青春與健康,只要讓血液順利流到身體每一個地方,提供細胞足夠的養分和氧氣,全身細胞就能健康地生存下來。所以,我想出了「血管(動脈)按摩法」來促進血液循環。各位只要按摩負責輸送血液的動脈,就能直接刺激位於動脈表面的血管擴張神經,讓血流順暢。

由於血管容量遠遠超過體內的血液量,一個人的血液量大概只佔體重的十二分之一至十三分之一左右。所以,一旦血管完全張開,缺乏足夠的血液回流心臟的話,極可能造成休克。因此,身體必須調節血液流量的分配,讓足夠的血液能流至正在活動的細胞組織,並且減少靜止活動的細胞組織的血液流量。也就是說,完全不活動的組織會因缺乏血液導致細胞跟著衰老死亡;慢慢地此部位就會變得纖細,呈現「廢用性萎縮」的狀態。所以,要注意器官長期不使用的話,就會造成萎縮。

只不過,每天運動應該很不容易做到吧!因此我們可使用外力來刺激分布於動脈表面的血管擴張神經,讓它變得活躍,那麼被刺激的動脈就會擴張,血液就會流往此部位的肌肉。換言之,就是以「血管按摩」來替代運動。

這二十年以來,我每天都一定會做「血管按摩」。一天一次,每天早上只需做十到十五分鐘的血管按摩,就能看見驚人的效果。按摩讓我臉上皺紋和斑點都變得不明顯了,也使我不被慢性疾病困擾。

這書特色

(一)血管按摩創始NO.1,回到18歲的青春彈力
妹尾教授研究病理學時,發現血液暢通與細胞新生的關係,進而研發出最有效、最容易實行的血液循環法──血管按摩。能夠透過物理刺激血管,恢復18歲的血管彈性。

(二)用血管按摩擴張動脈刺激血液循環
「血管按摩」能夠擴張動脈,加速血液循環。一旦血液循環好,血液確實攜帶氧氣和養分補充給身體所有的細胞,就能加快細胞汰舊換新的速度,並提高身體的自癒力。

(三)血管按摩改善三高、慢性病及癌症
從「恢復血管彈性」及「促進血液循環」真正根除慢性病!只用藥物控制疾病症狀是無法痊癒的。血液循環變好,就能夠有效預防改善高血壓、糖尿病、類風濕性關節炎等慢性疾病。

(四)從再生新細胞變年輕,打造水嫩Q彈肌、健康無病的身體
不必再塗塗抹抹那些可能有安全問題的保養品,抗老需要從細胞層面來思考!只要讓每一個細胞都健康,身體不斷地再生新細胞,就能保持年輕。從現在起,用血管彈力操停止以下的老化現象──頭髮稀疏、長皺紋、視力減退、重聽、肩膀痠痛、手腳冰冷、腰痛、無精打采、自律神經失調。

(五)做血管按摩,輕鬆動!超有效!
一日10分鐘,適用任何人,不管任何時間,任何地方都能簡單進行。不用運動到上氣不接下氣,就能有運動一般的效果,訓練血管彈性,促進血液順暢,您即能容光煥發。

我所體會之富人與窮人在行為、想法之差異 ( What I experienced between rich and poor in his/her thinking and behavior )

  許多人也許少有機會看見自已朋友從貧窮走向富足、從沒房子沒錢走向上億富人,我卻是親眼所見,希望藉這樣所見所聞,鼓勵大家走向富足,才能幫助許多人,不要以為不可能。

10 Major Differences Between Rich and Poor People

I've been rich and I’ve been poor. I know both sides very well.

Growing up poor, I knew that I wanted to be rich. At the age of 24, I earned my first million dollars. I came a long way and studied the subject all of my life. Over time, I have discovered that if you're not living in prosperity, you're living in poverty.

Wealth is a choice that we must all make. Bill Gates once said, "It's not your fault if you were born poor, but it’s your fault if you die poor." There's no reason why you should live in poverty. Wealth is waiting for you, but you have to make up your mind if you want it in your life.

For a long time, I struggled to believe that I could eventually become rich. It wasn't until I observed the differences in thoughts and actions between the "haves" and the "have-nots."

Here are 10 major differences between rich and poor people: ( behavior )
  • 1a. Poor people are skeptical  ( 窮人易懷疑態度 )
    • I distinctly remember a former coworker of mine saying, "Those mechanics are a rip-off! They're always looking for the weak people. They'll charge you when you're not looking!!" He thought that everyone unjustly wanted his money and that everyone is out there to get him. 
  • 1b. Rich people are trusting ( 富人信任人 )
    • Surprisingly, a great deal of rich people leave their car and house doors open. Conversely, in areas of poverty, you'll find that this behavior is highly unlikely to happen. Rich people have the tendency to trust those they meet (within reason) and give others the opportunity to be themselves.
  • 2a. Poor people find fault ( 窮人找錯誤 )
    • People who are poor are always looking for the problems instead of the solutions. They end up blaming their environment, circumstances, jobs, weather, government, and will make an extensive list of excuses as to why they cannot be successful. 
  • 2b. Rich people find success ( 富人尋覓成功之道 )
    • Rich people understand that everything happens for a reason. Rather than letting life happen to them, they take direct action and make big things happen. They put aside all the excuses and eradicate their blame lists because they have to do what must be done. 
Related: 10 Phrases Every Millionaire Avoids
  • 3a. Poor people make assumptions ( 窮人常做假設 )
    • When it comes to knowing the truth, poor people often make assumptions. If they want to reach out to a celebrity, they might say, "They probably don't have time to talk to me." Instead of checking the facts or asking questions, they never make a true attempt when it comes to getting what they want.
  • 3b. Rich people ask questions ( 富人常問問題 )
    • Many rich people ask the question, "What if?" For instance, "What if I wrote an email to the president and he or she answers?" If you begin to ask questions, you will save yourself a lot of hassle. The power is in the hands of those who ask the right questions. They don't answer your questions, question your answers.
  • 4a. Poor people say, "They" and "Them" ( 窮人常說“他們”和“他們” )
    • In the grocery store, the woman at the register said, "They never have enough cashiers. I don't know what's wrong with them." Obviously, this woman did not take any ownership and responsibility over her job. She certainly did separate herself from the job that was paying her. 
  • 4b. Rich people say, "We" ( 富人常說“我們” )
    • At one of my favorite restaurants, the server said, "We take great delight in cooking our steaks in real fire." His sense of pride and ownership stimulated me, which allowed me to give him an honorable tip. Surely, you will be rich when you invest more into what you believe in.  
  • 5a. Poor people want the cheapest way ( 窮人常選擇最便宜的方式 )
    • I was once shopping with a friend who only wanted to buy if they could find the cheapest clothing. They would rush to the clearance rack and pick up clothes that they didn't even want, but ended up buying because of a "deal." Unfortunately, they ended up never wearing it since they only bought the price.
  • 5b. Rich people want the best way  ( 富人常選擇最好的方法 )
    • Rich people will go the extra mile to find quality material. They don't limit themselves to price and often seek service while they shop. Rich people want organized services and will never settle with items that are worthless and unusable.
  • 6a. Poor people think money is more important than time ( 窮人認為金錢比時間更重要 )
    • Millions of people all over the world are trading their precious time for money. You can always get $500 back, but you can't get 50 hours again. Nonetheless, the majority of people trade time for money and never realize their true potential because of it.
  • 6b. Rich people know that time is more important than money ( 富人認為時間比金錢更重要 )
    • Rich people never trade time for money. Moreover, they seek fulfilling experiences that dramatically alter their lives. Their careers are more focused on doing what they love and helping others, instead of merely clocking in for a meager paycheck.

  • 7a. Poor people compete ( 窮人只知競爭 )
    • When a poor person sees an opportunity, they find out how others are doing it and emulates them. Most often, they never consider another way of doing it. Instead, they settle in the belief that doing what others are doing is the best thing they can do for themselves.
  • 7b. Rich people create ( 富人創造機會 )
    • My rich neighbors were disgruntled when they found that their Porsche did not come in a specific shade of green, which they deeply wanted. Because of this, they decided to custom build their green Porsche with unprecedented specifications. I've never seen such a thing! 
  • 8a. Poor people complain, condemn, and criticize ( 窮人抱怨,譴責和批判 )
    • Most poor people have learned how to be poor from their predecessors. Their family members have conditioned them to believe that everything is "wrong" instead of right. If you're ever heard someone ask, "What's wrong?" you'll know what I mean.
  • 8b. Rich people praise and enjoy their blessings ( 富人讚揚和感恩他們的祝福 )
    • Rich people know that they have many privileges and they don't take it for granted. Because of their appreciation of gifts, love, and circumstances, they are able to generate more. Many times, what gets praised gets prospered.
  • 9a. Poor people seek amateur advice ( 窮人常尋求非專業意見 )
    • They often listen to the opinions of others and seek approval from acquaintances. They believe almost everything they hear without questioning authority. They accept opinions as facts and prohibit themselves from doing research once satisfied with an answer.
  • 9b. Rich people seek expert advice ( 富人們徵求專家意見 )
    • Those who are rich have learned to think for themselves. If they cannot figure out something, they seek expert advice. Usually, they pay for the advice and are given a wide variety of options. They learn the experts only make suggestions, which means that they aren't particularly confined to a specific action.

    • Poor people take a lot of time to drift off to sporadic images of which they often have little to no control over. They use their free time to avoid the art of thinking (which is the most challenging task) and zone out to what many have conformed to believe is "entertainment." 
  • 10b. Rich people have big libraries ( 富人喜愛有大知識庫 )
    • Wealthy people are educated and read a lot of books. They use their knowledge in a way that benefits them. Instead of drifting off in random activities, they seek to get within their minds to understand themselves, others, and the world in which they live. In fact, as your personal library increase over the years, so will your home. I can attest to this!
To get a true perspective on how to become rich, you must study rich people. After all, you become what you study. If you're currently surrounded by people who aren't yet rich, just do the opposite of what they do. Soon enough, you'll be able to reach your financial dreams!

7 Main Differences Between Rich And Poor People

    Most people want to be rich, but most of them are poor, why? There must be some differences between rich people and poor people. If you study carefully, you will find out why rich and successful people are able to produce amazing results in their life, and why some people are living in poverty.
  To be rich and successful, you don’t need to be lucky, extremely hard working or you need to have a college diploma or a university degree.
  What you need, is the right mindset and the right mindset will form the right habit. As a result, the right habit will lead you toward the financial abundance kind of lifestyle that you always desire.
So here are the 7 main differences between rich and poor people…

  1. Rich people believe that they create their lives while poor people believe that life happens to them. 
    • Can you see why rich and successful people are able to create amazing results in their life right now? It is simply because they are in control of their lives. They believe that they are the ones who is responsible for their lives, they are the ones who is creating their future, not the economy or the knowledge or luck. On the other hand, poor people will always give excuses and blame on the circumstances. 
    • When they failed in their business, they will blame the economy, their boss, their family or anything that did not go according to their plan. Whenever you believe that life happens to you, you will lose the power to change and the power to control your future. You must believe that you’re the one who is creating your future, not other people or events.
  2. Rich people play the money game to win but poor people play the money game just not to lose money. 
    • This is a big mindset difference. Have you ever seen people invest in the stock market? Some people are so afraid that they will lose their money and they form a mindset that blocks their creativity. They formed the mindset of ‘investing not to lose the money.’However, rich and successful people know exactly how they need to think in order to win the game of money. 
    • They will think and act from the view of playing the game to win. Unlike poor people, they will never invest just not to lose the money.
  3. Rich people think and focus on opportunities while poor people focus on obstacles. 
    • When you face with problems, what are you focus on? Are you focus on the problems, thinking how bad the situation is going to be? Or are you focusing on the solution and thinking about how you can solve or even turn the situation into opportunity? Think about this carefully. No matter who you are, you will definitely face with all kinds of choices in your life. And when you need to decide to move on, try to notice on you thinking, what do you focus on, the solution, or the problem?
  4. Rich people dare to dream big, poor people think small. 
    • When I tell my parents that I want to make a million dollar, they will tell me, “Why do you need so much money? You can live a very good lifestyle if you got a job that has a good pay. You don’t need to be a millionaire.” I don’t know about you, but this statement happens to me all the time. And I definitely believe that poor people will tend to think small while rich people always think big. 
    • To poor people, they will think that rich people are greedy because they always think big. Is it true that you are being greedy if you think big? I don’t know if I buy this, but to me, I’ll think of it as a waste if you’re not using the resources available (your thinking) to you at full. Don’t you owe it to everyone around you to create a better life for them? Don’t you want your family to live good? So think big and create the abundance lifestyle for these people right now.
  5. Rich people are committed to their dreams, poor people are just dreaming about their dreams. Yes, this is an obvious one. 
    • If you’re not committed to be rich, you can never be rich. How many times have you heard people say that they want to be rich, but they never do anything about it?
    • This is the mentality of poor people. They will just think about how good it is going to be if they are rich, but they will never do anything about their dreams. They know that they cannot afford a luxury car if they have a low pay job. The thing is, they never do anything to change it.
    • On the contrary, rich and successful people are committed toward their dreams. They will do whatever it takes, in the boundary or moral and ethics of course, to achieve their dreams.
  6. Rich people associate with rich and successful people. Poor people will associate with poor people. Do you have any rich friends? Or all of your friends are poor?
    • I’m not suggesting that you need to stop making friends with poor people, what I’m suggesting it, try to get to know more about rich people. The more you mix with them, the more you will think like them. And if you think like them, you will start to create amazing results just like them.
    • If most of your friends are poor and their working salary all are below, $2,000, you will be having the same range of salary most of the time. However, if you associate with rich people who are making $2,000 in just a day, you will start to see the possibility of what you can accomplish in your life.
    • And this will change your thinking of what you can achieve in your life. $2,000 will become a small amount for you once you changed your mindset about money.
  7. Rich people good learners while poor people think that they have learned everything in the world. One of the fastest ways to be financially abundance is to learn directly from people who have already achieved this status.
And if you’re not willing to learn, you will never be able to be successful. If you want to get the best pay, you must be the best. And the only way you can be the best is to learn from the best and learn to be the best.
You now know what are the 7 main differences between rich and poor people. Do what rich people do and try to avoid the adopting the mindset and habits of the poor.
This will guarantee you a financial abundance lifestyle.
