Entering Midlife, Still Poor and Uninformed: Nine Out of Ten Fall into Three Pitfalls
This world, there are always people who would rather believe in overnight wealth, but few are willing to diligently and solidly work through hard work to achieve their life values.
Many people are looking for a shortcut, trying to achieve their goals in one fell swoop, but they don't know that patience is also a wealth, patience is the prerequisite for success, there is no process, how can there be results?
Many people originally had excellent talents, and their starting points were not low, if they developed step by step, they could reach a certain height in middle age and become a master or expert in a certain field, but they were short of talent and lazy, and finally, in their old age, they were still blank and tasteless. This is the result of falling into the following three misconceptions:
Misconception One: Fantasizing about overnight wealth, always wanting to make fast money
The most profitable industry in the world has many, and there are many methods to quickly gather wealth in a short time, but any industry requires professional skills and knowledge, not everyone can use it right away and achieve rapid wealth in a short time
The most overnight wealth is to win the lottery, which is a high-risk, unpredictable and uncontrollable event, because no one can predict that they will win, those who win are unintentionally harvested in a fluke, and many people who always want to rely on lottery to get rich have not gotten any results after a lifetime
As for other industries, the financial industry can make money quickly, but a newcomer doesn't know the most basic operations, and wants to make money quickly, that's a fantasy; including other gambling and drug trafficking, which are written in the criminal law, so don't be delusional
Because 'The Woolly Book' summarizes: the number of failure cases is countless, stacked together, higher than the pyramid. And the number of successful people is very small, because many people always fantasize about making money quickly, wanting to make money fast, and always fall into one pit after another, and they are unaware of how long they have been in it before they realize they are in their middle age
Misconception Two: Always wanting to do business, not diligently working
The way of doing business is simple to say, and complex to say
Everyone who has heard the story of Shen Wan Three knows that in the past and present, the most basic knowledge of doing business is to be able to calculate
A person who can calculate and master figures will make the flow of goods, just like the original merchant Fan Li, Lu Buwei, and later Shen Wan Three and Hu Xueyan, including the wealthy figures in China in the past 40 years, such as the internet economy and software development, as long as it involves the physical economy, they are all masters of calculation and computation
Besides being able to count, you also need a good network of people, starting with people around you, and learning to 'do people first, then things' . The earliest Chinese entrepreneurs such as Cheng Qing Hou, Zhang Qing Dong, Liu Chen Zhi, and Ren Zifeng would not have their names recorded in history if they hadn't had a good network of relationships
Always wanting to do business, not diligently working, the problem is, what qualities do you have to do business? Is your IQ higher than others, or your network skills are better? If you have no talent, it's better to work diligently in your middle age, because if you don't work hard, you will be destitute and embarrassed in old age
Misconception Three: Spending money like water, not knowing how to save and spend
Pay attention to observation, you will find that the most wealthy people often live more frugally, including the daily life of wearing cloth shoes and T-shirts like Ma Yun, the loose clothes and T-shirts of Zuckerberg, and the economic flights of Ren Zifeng, In their world, money is just a number, but they still maintain frugal habits and know how to save and spend, because on the entrepreneurial journey, they deeply understand the difficulties of being short of money, and the importance of money
On the contrary, many families don't have much money, and their total assets are only a few thousand or ten thousand, and they waste money, and these people don't understand the simple principle of 'sand into towers'
Author's conclusion:
When you're in your middle age and still have nothing, and your home is poor, you need to stop and think if you are trapped in the above misconceptions, and have a significant deviation in your understanding of life. You need to stop the loss and make changes from thought and habit, so that you may have a chance to turn things around
