It could happen to you
Many people think there is no need to take special care over home safety.
“I’ all right, I’m insured(投保).”
Maybe-----if you’re fully insured. Even then you can never recover the value you place upon your possessions, because you can’t insure against the suffering of mind that we all feel if our homes are torn apart by some strangers, our windows and doors broken, or our possessions ruined.
“It won’t happen to me.”
Won’t it? A house is broken into every three minutes of the day. Loss of all kinds, including cars and things stolen from cars, happens every 35 seconds.
“I’ve nothing worth stealing.”

“I’m only a tenant(房客) here.”
The thieves don’t care whether you’re a tenant or an owner. You’re just as weak either way. Have a word with the owner if you think extra safety fittings are necessary.
“They all get in anyway.”
Most thieves are on the lookout for easy pickings. They are soon discouraged by houses they can’t get into quickly and easily. So do pay special attention.
“This booklet(小册子) will help you…”
It’s based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes and thought. A few may cost some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and sadness you might otherwise suffer.
If you are in any doubt, ask for free advice from the crime Prevention Office at your local police station.

　　What most people don’t realize is that wealth isn’t the same as income．If you make $1 million a year and spend $1 million, you’re not getting wealthier: you’re just living high．Wealth is what you accumulate(get together), not what you spend．

　　How do you become wealthy?There, too, most people have it wrong．It’s rarely luck or inheritance or even intelligence that builds fortunes．Wealth is more often the necessary and natural result of a person’s hard work, determination, perseverance and most of all, self- discipline．

　　The most successful accumulators of wealth spend less than they can on houses, cars, vacations and entertainment．Why?Because these things offer little or no return．The wealthy would rather put their money into investments or their businesses．It’s an attitude．

　　The best wealth-builders pay careful attention to their money and seek professional advice．Those who spend heavily on cars, boats and houses, I’ve found, tend to skimp(spend little)on investment advice．Those who skimp on the luxuries are usually more willing to pay top dollar for good legal and financial advice．

　　The self-made rich develop clear goals for their money．They may wish to retire early, or they may want to leave some concrete possessions to their children．The goals are different, but two things are consistent: they have a dollar figure in minds．The amount they want to save by age 50, perhaps?And they work hard toward that goal．One thing may surprise you．If you make wealth---not just income---your goal, the luxury house you’ve been dreaming about won’t seem so attractive．You’ll have the attitude．
