1. Guy Laliberte, Cirque du Soleil Founder: Do What You Love, But Follow the Money
1.盖·拉里伯特，太阳马戏团创始人：做你喜欢做的事，但不能忘了逐利

Guy Laliberte was a high-school-educated circus clown from Quebec when he led a collective of performers to start Cirque du Soleil. Despite government subsidies, indulgent sponsors, and Laliberte's hard work, the circus barely survived for years while evolving its distinctive style. Laliberte's master stroke was to switch Cirque's status from non-profit to for-profit (with himself as one-third owner). Today he's worth $1.8 billion.
当盖·拉里伯特召集了一帮子演员开始创建太阳马戏团的时候，他还只是一个高中文化程度的马戏团小丑。虽然有着政府的资助和赞助商的慷慨解囊以及拉里伯特勤奋的工作，但在最初形成其特立独行的表演风格的那段时期，这家马戏团也只能刚刚维持生计。拉里伯特的一着妙棋是将马戏团的性质由非盈利性转变为了盈利性（他自己作为1/3的所有者）。今天的他已经坐拥18亿美元身家。

2. Suze Orman, Financial Advisor: Save Less, Earn More
2.苏兹·奥尔曼，美国第一女性理财大师：开源强于节流

Suze Orman has made a fortune telling people to grow their wealth through frugality, despite having no personal experience in the matter. When Suze was in her mid-30s, she lived high, but was mired in debt. She didn't cut back on luxuries; instead she worked her way out. She did what she loved, followed financial opportunity, and today she is in a situation to spend $300,000 a year traveling the world on private jets. In the end, your time is much better spent seizing opportunities than pinching pennies.
苏兹·奥尔曼通过告诉人们如何靠着节俭来积累财富而赚了一大笔钱，尽管她本人并没有这样的经历。在她30多岁时，她过着相当奢华的生活，但却深陷债务泥潭。她并没有为此减少在奢侈品上的开销，与此相反，她找到了自己的解决之道。她做了她喜欢的事，并且抓住了致富的机会。今天，她已经有能力每年花费30万美元乘着私人飞机环游世界。最终，你的时间花在抓住机遇上要远远好过花在省吃俭用上。
