That way you will be able to position yourself to survive and also to benefit from it.

這樣你就能給自己定位，讓自己生存下去，也能從中受益。

Because whenever there's a crisis there are opportunities.

因為只要有危機就有機會。

This quote I just whipped up basically sums up how I feel about the current world situation.

這句話是我剛編出來的，基本概括了我對當前世界形勢的感受。

Something big is coming.

有大事要發生了。

You can feel it in the air no matter where you are in the world and I'm not talking about the virus we already know about that.

無論你在世界的哪個角落，你都能感受到空氣中的氣息，我說的不是我們已經知道的病毒。

I'm talking about the economical consequences of having to lock down such large portions of the world for such long periods of time.

我說的是經濟上的後果，必須長期鎖定世界上這麼大的一部分地區。

We don't even know how long lock downs and social distancing needs to go on for.

我們甚至不知道鎖定和社會疏導需要持續多久。

It could be years and we're already seeing the impacts of this from the record high unemployment rates to the millions of small businesses that are shutting down to the abysmal earning reports.

這可能是幾年的時間，我們已經看到了這種影響，從創紀錄的高失業率到數以百萬計的小企業關閉，再到糟糕的收入報告。

Now because we're facing a threat so much larger and complicated than what we're used to facing in our day to day lives.

現在，因為我們面臨的威脅如此之大和複雜 比什麼我們習慣於面對在我們的日常生活。

We feel uncertain more and more so every single day about what's going to happen next, and this leads to anxiety and depression and the loss of motivation and the return of bad habits which I'm guessing a lot of you are facing right now.

我們每天都會感到越來越不確定，不知道接下來會發生什麼，這就會導致焦慮和抑鬱，失去動力，不良習慣又回來了，我估計很多人現在都面臨著這樣的問題。

Which is why today I want to share with you what I'm doing with my free time in order to combat all of this uncertainty.

這就是為什麼今天我想和大家分享一下我在空閒時間做的事情，以對抗所有這些不確定性。

So listen carefully this is what you need to do.

所以仔細聽好這是你需要做的。

You need to devote some of your time trying to really understand what we're up against.

你需要花點時間去了解我們要面對的是什麼。

See most people don't understand how the economy works.

你看大多數人都不明白經濟是怎麼運作的。

Heck.

哈克。

I've been reading non-stop about it for every single day for the past month and I still feel like I barely know what I'm talking about.

過去的一個月裡，我每天都在不停地看關於它的書，但我還是覺得自己幾乎不知道自己在說什麼。

And it's funny because back when I was a freshman in college.

而這很有趣，因為當我還是大學新生的時候。

I was initially an economics major but I saw no use for it.

我最初是經濟學專業的，但我覺得沒有用。

So I switched out but now it's a different story what the economy does next will impact our lives for a very long time.

所以我就換了，但是現在就不一樣了，接下來經濟的發展會影響我們很長一段時間的生活。

Your life is now in its hands and that's why you need to be studying the strange animal in order to understand how we acts what it's most likely to do next.

你的生命現在掌握在它的手中，這就是為什麼你需要研究這種奇怪的動物，以便了解我們的行為它下一步最有可能做什麼。

That way it won't catch you off guard and claw you to death.

這樣才不會讓你措手不及，把你抓死。

You need to study it in order to survive but not only that you need to study it in order to spot the opportunities.

你需要學習它才能生存，但不僅如此，你還需要學習它才能發現機會。

Almost all of you watching this video right now are going to fall into one of three groups when this whole ordeal is over.

幾乎所有正在看這段視頻的人，當這整個考驗結束後，都會落入三組中的一組。

There are going to be those that were completely caught off guard unprepared with no support from their government or any outside entity or community and the sad fact of the matter is that many of these people simply won't make it.

會有一些人在毫無準備的情況下完全被嚇到了，沒有得到政府或任何外部實體或社區的支持，可悲的事實是，這些人中的許多人根本就不會成功。

Many will not survive.

許多人將無法生存。

Then they're gonna be those that were kind of prepared.

那他們就會是那些有準備的人。

Maybe they had some savings maybe they get some support from their government or their community.

也許他們有一些積蓄也許他們從政府或社區得到一些支持。

They'll survive but will be set back significantly in terms of their finances.

他們會活下來，但在財務上會受到很大的挫折。

They might never be able to retire.

他們可能永遠無法退休。

They might lose all of their savings.

他們可能會失去所有的儲蓄。

Their quality of life will drop and it will take them years to make up for all this loss progress.

他們的生活品質會下降，需要幾年時間才能彌補這些損失的進步。

And finally they're gonna be those that will benefit from the situation.

最後他們會是那些將受益於這種情況的人。

These are the ones that have an understanding of the beast were up against.

這些都是對獸類有了解的人都在對抗。

They understand what they need to do in order to avoid getting burned.

他們明白自己需要做什麼才能避免被燒傷。

They understand the patterns of the Beast which will allow them to predict what things will most likely prosper from the situation at hand.

他們瞭解野獸的模式，這將使他們能夠預測什麼事情最有可能從眼前的情況中繁榮起來。

You must do whatever you can to fall into this last group.

你一定要不惜一切代價，落入這最後一批。

And the only way to do so is to understand what you're up against to understand how the economy and the world works.

而唯一的辦法就是了解你所面對的是什麼，以瞭解經濟和世界是如何運作的。

You must learn about how it's worked before in the past because history likes to repeat itself.

你一定要了解過去是如何運作的，因為歷史喜歡重複。

For example, after reading up on economics I realized that I needed to hold on to something other than cash so I decided to move some of my wealth into gold.

例如，在閱讀了經濟學知識後，我意識到我需要持有現金以外的東西，所以我決定將部分財富轉移到黃金中。

And I'm gonna tell you exactly why in a future video that will be released very soon so make sure you subscribe and hit that Bell icon so you don't miss it.

我會告訴你具體的原因，在未來的視頻中，將很快發佈，所以請確保你訂閱，並打貝爾圖標，所以你不會錯過它。

Now not all of my decisions are gonna be right but because I have a better idea of how the world works, I can make a plan that I believe in and that's actually the key here.

現在不是所有的決定都是正確的，但因為我對這個世界是如何運作的有了更好的認識，我可以制定一個我相信的計劃，這其實是這裡的關鍵。

When you have clarity when you have a plan that you can believe in.

當你有明確的計劃時，你可以相信。

This will give you purpose and keep you motivated.

這將給你帶來目標，讓你有動力。

This is actually the cure to procrastination that you've been looking for by gaining clarity you will regain your ability to be productive in a period of time where most people are doing nothing at home.

這其實就是你一直在尋找的治療拖延症的方法，通過獲得清晰的認識，你將在大多數人在家無所事事的時期重新獲得生產的能力。

And just that fact alone will allow you to benefit more from the current world situation.

而僅僅是這個事實，就能讓你從當前的世界局勢中獲得更多的利益。
