Why should a person be rich?

Author: Wen Jila (signed author of Rich Book)

What is true wealth? It’s not about having a car or a house, it’s not about having an annual salary of millions, it’s about using money and knowledge to achieve self-realization.

01

After working overtime all night, Lianyuan sent me a message: "I am going to Japan with some old classmates after the new year, shall we?"

I asked: "Is it difficult to get a visa?"

He sent me the visa application materials, but I refused at a glance

Because there was one document in it: the last 6 Monthly bank statements, with a final balance of more than 100,000. (Sealed)

The two yuan said: "The turnover can be transferred in the near future."

I said: "Forget it, I will work hard to earn more and go later. What will you do?" What kind of job? So rich, free, and able to travel anywhere.

Liangyuan said: "Code Dog, I started saving this money two years ago. Working overtime every day is the vacation accumulated from overtime work. Only two trips this year?"

Yes, compared to his experience of traveling throughout Southeast Asia last year, two trips abroad this year are too few. He plans to go to Japan, New Zealand, and Iceland?

Playing with two yuan is as hard as working. He has a very big map of the world. The map is covered with pictures of various cities. Under the map is written: Go to 200 cities before you are 30 years old?

At that time, we lamented: "This is difficult, unless most of them are Chinese cities. "

Two yuan came back: "It's not difficult if you have money. ”

Indeed, it is not difficult to have money, whether it is a Japanese visa, an Australian visa, or a Schengen visa, whether it is studying abroad, traveling abroad, or visiting relatives abroad

Country’s requirements The admission criteria for overseas population are: money.

Why money?

The ancient Greek philosopher Cephalus said: “Money can make a person kinder. ”

Having enough money means that you have enough spending power during this trip, which will promote the development of the country’s tourism industry, reduce the suspicion of illegal work, illegal stay, and reduce the possibility of other illegal behaviors. .

This bill with quota requirements also illustrates your ability to be responsible for your life.

When you have enough money, you will find that the world cares about you. There are many fewer restrictions.

Two Yuan struggled to escape the restrictions of the world, starting from the fifth grade of elementary school

The Internet was not yet popular in cities and towns. There are not many cable TV stations here.

In addition to books, the student party’s entertainment is various idol drama CDs and song CDs. You can buy a 10-song DVD for 5 yuan.

Two Yuan's cousin has a computer and Internet at home, so he bought a bunch of CDs and went to his cousin's house, saying he would help his classmates burn songs and videos

In this way, many students in the class spent 5 Yuan , I bought pop music CDs and idol drama CDs such as "Legend of Sword and Fairy" from Liangyuan for 10 yuan. At that time, Liangyuan earned my first pot of gold.

Liangyuan's family was not in a good situation. , his parents plan to let him go out to work after finishing junior high school. Not to mention traveling, even going out to the county town will be restricted: "You can walk, there is no money for you to take a car. ”

The two yuan earned became the capital for him to control his destiny. I heard that he later paid for the tuition fees for junior high school and high school by earning the difference from selling goods.

When he was in college , the more free time became the driving force for Liang Yuan to "go global"

He used the money from his part-time job writing code to buy a large world map and 200 photos of cities around the world.

He started planning a trip, which was the starting point of his dream, to achieve financial freedom and travel around the world as soon as possible

He played as hard as he worked, and always searched for guides and made reservations early. Air tickets.

The money he saved from discounted air tickets and low-cost airlines turned into a "running bill" for him to travel to Japan and Europe.

What to do if there is no vacation. ?

Lianyuan’s company implements a system of compensating overtime work and time off. Liangyuan will continue to work on new projects, continue to make money and save vacations.

The more you see the world, the better. I feel like the less I know, the more I want to explore.

“I used to think it would be great if I could escape from that mountain city and go to college, but now I feel like I can do what I like without any worries. That’s a good life. ”

The money that Liang Yuan earned through his own efforts not only allowed him to escape the shackles of his original family, but also allowed him to travel around the world, see different scenery, meet different people, and be nourished by a richer life experience. With money and knowledge, the restrictions placed on him by his family, his work, others, and even the restrictions placed on him by the world are reduced.

< p>He said: “Every time I enter the country where I am traveling, the border inspector smiles and stamps me, and I feel like the world is calling me. "

People say: "It is difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son. ”

I don’t know what the definition of “noble son” is, but Liangyuan worked hard to get into a good university, work hard to make money, find a foothold in the city, and live the way he likes. He is Takako.

People say that the reason why it is difficult for a child to be born is simply due to poor birth environment, unequal distribution of educational resources, household registration issues and issues of knowledge?

In short, the reason why it is difficult for a child to be born is because Various restrictions.

The two yuan born in a poor family can get rid of all kinds of restrictions: if you are not born well, then find a way to make a living; if educational resources are unequal, then find a way to fight for it, take classes, audit, and online courses, and you have little knowledge. Just read more, travel, and meet people?

Successful people have thousands of ways, and people who fail have thousands of reasons.

For example, that colleague around you who always shirks responsibilities, that friend who delivers negative energy, or that relative who complains all the time.

Rouwan is my cousin. Three years after graduation, she changed jobs five times, and each job lasted no more than half a year.

Later I worked as a clerk in my uncle’s outsourcing factory, mainly responsible for monitoring goods, ensuring delivery time, and issuing orders

There was another clerk in the office who was responsible for finance and daily documents There is also a supervisor who is responsible for supervising and managing the work.

I made the meat rolls for 2 months and was very unhappy.

She said that her brother-in-law only gave her a small salary every month, so why should she be a relative? Moreover, the supervisor was always targeting her, and every easy job was given to the clerk girl. As for me, he kept asking me to go. Checking the goods in the warehouse and checking the order?

"It is also very good to check the goods. Without this link, there will be no data. How can we issue an order? This is very important." I said.

"No, that supervisor must be targeting me. He didn't let me go to the training meeting last time, he didn't let me go on the business trip, and he didn't let me know in advance about the factory party party?"

< p>No matter how much I tried to persuade Roujuan, Roujuan still had the mentality of "there are always unscrupulous people who want to harm me."

The girl who was a clerk later passed the adult self-study examination and got the opportunity to study in college. She went to further her studies, but the meat roll still did not get promoted, which made her even more angry.

My uncle told me that Roulo typically avoids responsibility when he sees it, but wants a piece of the pie when he sees benefits. She asked her to help organize the training, so she took sick leave; she wanted to go with her supervisor on a business trip, but she said she was afraid of being acclimatized; later, the subsidies for these jobs were given to the workers, and she also said that the factory was short-changing her, which spread everywhere. Negative energy?

The meatloaf was dissuaded.

Later Roujuan went home to take the civil service exam and failed twice. She complained to her fellow villagers that the exam system was unfair and that she had no money to buy an official position. She felt that all those who succeeded in the exam had bought it, or else relied on Get involved.

No matter in a big city or a small city, no matter what job she does, no matter what age she is, Roulo feels that this era is targeting her and the world is restricting her.

Is this world limiting her?

No, it was her self-imposed limitations.

Her lack of money and her lack of knowledge are limiting her, limiting her from taking a step forward, limiting her from seeing better people, limiting her from seeing a wider world?

< p>04

The clerk's family background is worse than that of the meat rolls, but she knows the importance of money and knowledge, so she studies while working and obtains a correspondence degree.

When she was posting about her studies, reading, and traveling in her circle of friends, Roujuan was criticizing the civil service exam?

This is the difference between people, and Roujuan and the two-element relationship It's more like a contrast between the working class and the elite.

Luo Pang once talked about the research of American sociologist Herbert Gans. The sociologist compared the cultural differences between the working class and the elite in Boston and found:

One characteristic of the working class is , only trust their relatives and friends, but very distrust the outside world, and may even have a spontaneous hostility towards strangers.

In contrast, people in the middle class and elite class do not have such a strong sense of kinship. They easily cooperate with strangers and trust the rules of doing things.

So, Rouwan feels the world’s restrictions and malice towards her, while Liangyuan feels the world’s call to him;

When Rouwan complains about others, Liangyuan is willing to To change, strive, and work hard; the meat rolls are sinking in the quagmire of self-guessing, and the two yuan is moving step by step towards the expected goal?

What is wealth?

Being rich is not about having a car or a house, or having an annual salary of millions. Being wealthy is about using money and knowledge to achieve self-realization.

Just like two yuan, he is very rich, always has goals, is always moving forward, and is always realizing himself.

He is walking in a virtuous cycle of "working hard to make money - self-realization (going to college) - working hard to make money (work) - self-realization (traveling) - making money and living better"

Those who complain all day long that their family background is not good, their talents are not recognized, and they are suppressed by others, maybe they should think about the problem from a different angle.

Having always pretended to be a victim of the world will make you weak. It is better to work hard to create a better and freer world. If you can't do that, you can at least change yourself and reduce the restrictions the world places on you.

Writer Wang Xiaobo once said: "Without money, social status, and culture, it is difficult for people to control their own destiny."

Without money, You don’t dare to place an order when shopping online or take a taxi when you go out. You have to plan carefully when eating. If you are not satisfied with food and clothing, how can you achieve self-realization?

Without social status, no respect, people are indifferent, and they cannot combine advantageous resources to expand their world.

Without culture, you will be discouraged when meeting outstanding people, unable to expand your horizons in people-to-people exchanges, let alone achieve cooperation, unable to give your soul a pure land, and have no fixed opinions.

How can we become rich, control our destiny, and get rid of the limitations of the world?

Of course: making money, reading, meeting friends, making progress, and seeing the world.

If you are an ordinary student, you should study more and read more newspapers; if you want to travel, then work hard to get good grades and get a scholarship; in addition, whether you are a tutor, handing out leaflets, serving dishes, writing or warehouse management , as long as it does not affect normal study, no matter how hard it is, you should try it.

There is no distinction between high and low in the industry. If you experience something with a good attitude and get an income, why not do it?

As an ordinary worker, you should work hard and work hard to earn a living; read more to enrich the spiritual world; develop interests and hobbies, and get to know like-minded people. You will find that people break away from their professional status and do something interesting together Interested things are the most vital; take more career improvement courses, or do more research and discussions with peers; travel in a planned way?

As the writer Zhou Chong said: "When you get rid of the lack of money, you will It is found that with the development of society, thinking patterns and spiritual realms account for an increasing proportion of social stratification. ”

So, in addition to solving the problem of food and clothing, you need to keep learning and keep learning. Get out of your own limitations, keep reading and learning, keep meeting people and seeing the world, keep enriching your spiritual world, keep changing your thinking patterns, and achieve higher self-realization.

The more you walk at night, the bolder you become. The more you walk alone, the more responsibilities you can shoulder. You see more of the world, and you gain insights and opinions. You become rich. The world has fewer restrictions on you.

May you continue to improve, may you always be rich, may the world set no limits for you, and if you still have the energy to spare, may you create a better world.
