## 我应该得到更多的报酬，却事与愿违

You can work hard at anything but that doesn’t mean it’s useful to the progress of humanity.
你可以在任何事情上努力工作，但这并不意味着它对人类的进步有用。

This is the delusion of hard work.
这是努力工作的错觉。

You can put 4 years of work into getting a degree.
你可以花4年时间获得学位。

You can put 10 years of work into climbing a corporate ladder.
你可以用10年的工作来攀登公司的阶梯。

And still, you won’t be paid anywhere close to what you want.
但是，你的薪水仍然不会接近你想要的。

So, rather than taking your future into their own hands, you whine and complain.
所以，与其把你的未来掌握在自己手中，你还不如抱怨和抱怨。

“I deserve to be paid more!”
“我应该得到更多的报酬！”

“I’ve spent 14 years working hard and this is all I get for it?”
“我努力工作了14年，这就是我得到的一切？”

“I barely have any time for my family. I don’t have enough to take a vacation. I slave away with no light at the end of the tunnel.”
“我几乎没有时间陪家人。我没有足够的钱去度假。我在隧道的尽头没有光明的奴隶。

The complainers of the world are missing one crucial piece of the puzzle:
世界上的抱怨者们忽略了这个难题中的一个关键部分：

The labor theory of value is that you should be paid for the amount of work you do.
劳动价值论认为，你应该为你所做的工作获得报酬。

To feel as if you have jumped through hoops.
感觉好像你已经跳过了铁圈。

To feel like you deserve something.
感觉自己值得拥有。

But that’s not how reality works.
但现实不是这样的。

Money is a unit of value. Value is a measure of how much people care about what you do.
货币是价值单位。价值是衡量人们对你所做的事情有多关心的尺度。

How valuable you are = the magnitude of problems you solve, the results of the solutions you create, and your ability to get people to care about your creation.
你的价值=你解决的问题的规模，你创造的解决方案的结果，以及你让人们关心你的创造的能力。

If you aren't happy with how much you make, it may be time to take a brutally honest look at what you contribute to the world.
如果你对自己的收入不满意，也许是时候诚实地看看你对世界的贡献了。

It does not make sense to pay someone based on the amount of work they do. It does make sense to pay someone based on the level of problem they solve.
根据某人的工作量支付报酬是没有意义的。根据他们解决问题的程度支付报酬是有道理的。

Why? 为什么？

I can work hard for 1 year at writing to become an author, but 1 year isn’t enough to justify $100,000 of compensation.
我可以努力工作一年成为一名作家，但一年不足以证明10万美元的赔偿是合理的。

You only make as much money as other people care about what you’ve done within that year. That is, how your creation benefits them so that they use it to solve a problem, change their life, and bring progress to humanity.
你只赚了别人关心你在那一年里做了什么的钱。也就是说，你的创造如何使他们受益，以便他们用它来解决问题，改变他们的生活，并为人类带来进步。

Complaining about not being paid enough is not going to get you paid. In fact, it will probably get you fired or ignored. Or just hated by anyone you come into contact with because they are thinking, “Ok… what are you going to do about it?”
抱怨没有得到足够的报酬不会让你得到报酬。事实上，这可能会让你被解雇或被忽视。或者只是被你接触到的任何人讨厌，因为他们在想，“好吧.你打算怎么办？”

The only option is to take matters into your own hands.
唯一的选择就是自己动手。

## The Irreplaceable Individual 不可替代的个体

There is a path to get what you want. You just lack the knowledge, skill, and awareness to forge that path. You just lack creativity.
有一条路可以得到你想要的。你只是缺乏知识、技能和意识来开拓这条道路，你只是缺乏创造力。

You are worried about what will be r
