8、 they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us. Later I offered to help Angela deal with her financial problems.

10、aints I had heard from so many people. “Ill never understand money“, “I dont deserve to have money. “ and the most devastating one of all, “I just cant do it. “Angelas attitude conveyed the same negativity and fear that I believed annoyed many people. I was sure it was this attitude that prevented p
11、eople from managing their money effectively. My counseling has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self-doubts and fear for survival. At a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life, but sense of worth that drives us to act as if it were. It locks us up in
12、self-doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power and spirit.（分数：10.00）(1).Angelas words moved the author and others because they were _.

16、set up, I had only a quarter of the starting capital left in the bank. Looking for guidance, I went to talk to my friend, Arthur Walworth about my new venture.“Times of great change always bring out the risk-takers,“ he said, “and they leave winners and losers. “ There was a period when CD-ROM sales

To realize my plan I needed investors, so I continued to meet regularly with venture capitalists. One said I had a great idea. But I needed to test it.I was working nonstop-struggling
19、to find the fight way ahead. The pressure was terrible. To get the money from a venture capitalist is going to cost my wife and my children ! It was just at this time that my parents and sisters stepped up. Two hundred thousand dollars is a lot of money to them, but they invested in this crazy son a

24、ult to buy anything that is not done up in beautiful wrapping.The package itself is of no interest to the shopper, who usually throws it away immediately. So why is it done? Some of it, like the cellophane on meat, is necessary, but most of the rest is simply competitive selling. This is absurd. Pac
