Unit 4 Everyday economics

不要把所有的鸡蛋放在一个篮子里。

2．Money spent on the brain is never spent in vain.

智力投资绝非白花钱。

Money is indeed important，but money cannot buy everything.If you only give your attention to making money，you may lose many things，such as health，friendship and love.I don't think we should regard money as everything.Money is just a tool that can help us solve problems or enable us to live a comfortable life.What we should do is to use it appropriately and not become misers.This way，all of us can lead a happier life.

Do you have a business brain? Are you always looking

for the next big idea? Maybe，like me，you might feel setting

up a new company is something you might do when you're older，

when you have more experience.But that's not always the

case.

While some of us may feel young adulthood is a time of tentatively(不确定地) finding our place in the world，sleeping late and partying hard，others are already on the path to great business success.Take the founder of Microsoft，Bill Gates，who started his company as a young university student at Harvard in the US.There are many other examples of young entrepreneurs(创业者) who have become hugely successful，proving that there's no minimum age to becoming top dog.

But to be the next business executive requires effort.You need to acquire a keen mind and good business brain and above all，you need enthusiasm.Starting a new business comes with an element of risk but if you are able to spot the next big idea，

it's probably worth giving it a try.
