The sooner you understand these 10 insights, the better, you can take the road less traveled

A while ago, there was a topic that was pushed to the top of the search: why are the young people of today "decadent", "lying flat", and "lousy"?

Netizens have been talking about it, and the one with the most likes is the following one.

The reason why young people today are so unmotivated is because they lack one thing, and that is: hope.

The sooner you understand these 10 insights, the better, you can take the road less traveled.

When you can't afford to buy a house even after a lifetime of hard work; when you can't save any money even after working overtime every day; when you can't get a decent job even after 10 years of hard study; when you are full of ambition and dreams, but you can't beat the word "money"; when you have been beaten by society, young people have already put The young people who have been beaten by society have already lost all their "hope" and "faith" and are left with nothing but helplessness and bitterness.

No one's dream is to buy a house when they grow up. Everyone wants to experience all kinds of life in their limited life, but the reality is: every day is from 9 to 6, constantly working overtime, with no time to exercise, cook for yourself, travel, discover interests, socialise and fall in love. ......

When you get home from work at night, you wash up, fall asleep, and then wake up the next day for another round of work, and so on and so forth, until your youthful years are exhausted. ......

The actual fact is that you can find a lot of friends and a wide range of contacts, but there are only a few friends you can talk to.

They are all ordinary people, but they live a miserable life where their words don't mean what they say and they can't help themselves.

After reading them, I can only say: it's so true; it's like being sober on earth.

So, today, I share with you 10 perceptions about growing up, and I hope you will see this article early and read it.

1, if you have an ordinary family, average ability, connections, mediocre looks, average IQ, nothing special, the fastest way to make a comeback is: choose an industry you like, first rooted in it for three to five years, and try to improve your ability, accumulate your experience, expand your network, expand your horizons, form your own unique thinking, and build your own industry resource base.

After three to five years, if your capital, network, ability and timing are ripe, you can try to start your own business first. Remember: it is not advisable to expand your business blindly in the early stages, you should walk on thin ice, be cautious, slowly feel your way across the river, one step at a time, and do not rush into anything.

Self-employment is not an easy thing, and the chances of success are few and far between, so think twice and twice again.

2, no matter what you encounter, do not be impulsive. A lot of things, often because of a moment of impulsiveness, only to end up in a big disaster. Also, when you are angry, it is best to keep your mouth shut, otherwise it will bring you a lot of unnecessary trouble.

3. Whenever you meet people, you should not reveal your privacy, character or weaknesses to others (especially strangers) because you do not know what kind of people you will meet, and a word you say without thinking can often become a handle for others to threaten you.

Therefore, no matter what the occasion is, we should not put our emotions on our faces, always keep smiling and stay positive. This way, you are more likely to be favoured by the opposite sex, trusted by elders, and relied upon by leaders.

Some people say it's hypocritical to do so! But I just want to ask: in this world of deceit, if you are not hypocritical, can you still survive? Look at them, those who are honest and sincere, aren't they always being bullied?

4. Always remember this: Get out of poverty first, then get out of singleness!

When you have money, and the other party has no feelings for you, it does not matter, the other party is willing to cultivate with you properly; when you have no money, even if the other party has feelings for you, sorry, the other party is not willing to suffer with you.

Love is always built on material basis, especially this materialistic era, without material protection, any mutual love is empty talk.

5, excessive modesty, equivalent to hypocrisy; excessive forbearance, equivalent to incompetence; excessive initiative, equivalent to licking the dog.

The person, can be a little humble, after all, modesty makes people progress, but if modesty is too much, it will make people feel very hypocritical.

The actual fact is that you can be a little bit more tolerant, but some people, some things, once you give in, you will get the other side of the inch.

The boy chased the girl, can take the initiative a little, after all, the initiative to have a story. If you've got a lot of initiative, you'll get a lot of perfunctory responses from the other side, so you should stop. It is very humble to be a licking dog, and in the end there is nothing

6, you can remain optimistic and upbeat, but also to recognize the reality, back to self.

A person who has not replied to you for more than 24 hours is politely rejecting you; remember the saying: no one will be so busy that they can't see your message all day, some just see and don't want to reply.

No girl likes a "dog licker". What they like is: they want money, they are handsome, they are talented, and they have a background. So, as long as you don't have money, even if you take care of her and do everything, she won't like you.

Instead of fantasizing about someone taking you flying, it is wise to spend your time on fitness, reading, working, improving yourself, investing in yourself, and keeping yourself refined.

7, rather learn from the turtle, hold your breath and take a step back; not learn from the hedgehog, covered with thorns, the export of hurt.

First of all, we have to understand one thing: no matter what people are, they like to hear good words, no one likes to hear the truth or bad words.

Therefore, when our strength does not allow us to do so, we might as well learn from the tortoise, and endure things as long as we can; although it looks cowardly and unambitious, it can ensure that we are unharmed and achieve the goal of obscene development.

On the contrary, if you go and learn from the hedgehog, covered in thorns and offending people as soon as you speak, you will sooner or later be ostracised. Those who are sharp may seem to have the upper hand, but in fact they make enemies everywhere and will not be able to go far in the end.

It is a very simple truth: no matter what the occasion, the leader will never promote a person who is in opposition to him every day. The "ass-kissing" in the workplace may seem very humble and cheap, but in fact, it is the most effective way for an ordinary person to get a promotion and a raise.

8, from now on, and make money from things that have nothing to do with, can do less, cannot do, do not do.

Each of us is given the mission of making money when we are born. What is the purpose of ten years of hard study? To make money, of course! Therefore, in a limited life, making money is the most important thing, and the rest is just an accompaniment.

Foolish people are always fond of vanity. Very often, for the sake of a banner, an award, a certificate of honour, or a false ranking in a game, they are willing to become someone else's pawn and go to the edge of the sword or the edge of the fire for others.

Cao Cao once said, "Do not be greedy for false fame but deal with real misfortune". The meaning is: Do not covet false fame and invite real misfortune.

Therefore, in real life, we should be wary of these illusory honours. For example, in the workplace, the top performer receives a certificate of honour; in a game, the first place in a battle is awarded a title of honour; in a certain competition, spending a few thousand dollars to enter, one receives a trophy of honour. These are false rewards, hungry cannot be eaten as a meal, and cold cannot be worn as clothes, and in the end can only be thrown into the trash!

9, no matter what the occasion, do not speak too bluntly; see through and not say through, is also a kind of cultivation.

Although words are not as sharp as a knife blade, they are more hurtful than a knife blade. Very often, when you tell the truth and correct a mistake, the other person is not only ungrateful, but also angry.

That's the wonderful thing about human nature. When you expose a person's lies, they don't admit their mistakes because it makes them lose face. So he will think that you are against him and will argue with you to the death.

Therefore, learn to "see people say people say, see ghosts say ghosts", often can avoid a lot of trouble.

10, appropriate pretend to be confused, more to win the recognition and appreciation of others; if everywhere are too calculating, will be disliked.

Many times, pretending to be confused is also a kind of high emotional intelligence performance. Especially in the workplace, people who know how to play dumb are more likely to win the promotion and respect of their leaders. On the contrary, if you always think you are very capable, and everywhere to steal the limelight, and will be jealous of many people, and even hate.

Managing oneself well is one's essential skill

Managing oneself well is one's essential skill

Life, in fact, is a game between oneself. Do not give up the demanding for self is a person's real ability.

1, Manage the image.

I don't know if you find that as you grow older, people around you are slowly becoming two groups: one group is being destroyed by the years into unkempt, out-of-shape "greasy" middle-aged; the other group seems to have eaten preservatives, maintain very well. The different groups have a very different attitude to life.

I agree with the saying, "Managing your image is not about superficiality, but about respect for yourself and admiration for life." The real ageing of a person is never the ageing, but the loss of the demand for self. Don't concede defeat to life, don't bow to the years. The best maintenance product in this world is your self-discipline and not settling for less.

2. Manage your body.

I read news. An entrepreneur was unwell because of prolonged exertion and was found to have myocardial ischemia when he went to the hospital. The doctor asked him to be hospitalised immediately for observation, but he did not take it to heart. Who would have thought that he would pass away suddenly a few days later. Overnight, his prestigious education and wealthy career, which he had been proud of, were all in vain.

Health is 1, everything else is 0. Once the 1 is gone, there is no point in having more 0s. All the health that was overdrawn will have to be repaid a hundred times over afterwards. Every time you go to bed early, wake up early and eat on time, you are building up your energy for tomorrow.

3. Manage your emotions.

When you encounter trouble, your mind explodes, turning a very simple matter into a mess; arguing with your lover over a trivial matter, turning over old scores when you are not in the right mind,  without being conscious, opening your mouth and saying hurtful things ...... We have all been consumed by sudden emotions at some point because of something, and many of life's regrets and regrets are often the result of this. People who are truly mature know how to manage their emotions. They never lose their temper that they shouldn't, they don't rush things, they don't get upset because of anger, and they never use bad emotions to affect others.

4. Managing social circles.

After dealing with all kinds of people, you will slowly understand: friends, quality is much more important than quantity. If you are only concerned about the circle of drinking and dining, you will neglect those who treat you sincerely.

The worldly and hypocritical circle of people should be cut off; the negative circle of people who consume you should be shed; the circle of people who do not belong to you should be left. To sift through friends is to sort out your life, and to manage your circle is also the beginning of refining yourself. When the circle is clean, people are comfortable; when the relationship is comfortable, people are comfortable.

People can only be responsible for others if they are responsible for themselves first. Self-management is a lifelong lesson for all of us.

These 10 signs that you are getting better

These 10 signs that you are getting better

These 10 signs that you are getting better

Gradually getting savings

If you have read The Road to Financial Freedom, you will know that the first rule of happiness is to save money.

Old people love to save money, but in our generation, somehow, they have all become "negative" people. We borrow and overdraw for the future, and then use our present efforts to pay back our past spending.

Good saving habits will give you a sense of security and also give you more initiative in the world of "buying".

If you've graduated a few years ago and still don't have any savings, be sure to take note, but don't worry, start saving now.

Be able to get up early and go to bed early on your own initiative

The key to this one is "initiative".

A psychiatrist friend of mine once told me that the best way to treat depression is to give the patient a sense of control first.

I asked, "What is a sense of control?

He said, "It starts with taking the initiative to go to bed early and get up early.

Actually, going to bed early and waking up early is not so great. What is great is to take the initiative to go to bed early and wake up early for ten years.

In other words, you are not woken up by work or your boss, you want to go to bed early and get up early, you want to do something with your time in the morning.

Of course, it's also pretty awesome that you have to go to bed late and get up late on your own initiative for ten years as a whole.

Start accepting your imperfections

Everyone, in fact, has their own flaws.

But a person will focus more on his or her strengths and strategically ignore his or her weaknesses, which has two benefits.

Firstly, one can be more confident.

Secondly, one can put better energy into one's strengths.

In fact, the older one gets, the less likely one is to accept one's imperfections, but it is when one begins to accept one's imperfections that one will move towards perfection.

In one's twenties, one has to come to terms with one's imperfections.

In one's thirties, one accepts the imperfections of one's parents.

In one's forties one has to come to terms with the imperfections of one's children.

Imperfection is also a form of beauty.

Take the initiative to stop having friends with negative energy

The older you get, the more likely you are to see that negative people are actually lurking around you.

Many may be friends and relatives who are usually particularly close, but remember.

As you start to make the leap, you will find that you become more and more out of step with your old surroundings, and that those people you used to be very close to are instantly distant.

But don't worry, move on. Sometimes you don't have to cut off those friends, they will cut you off.

It's not a big deal, you just need to move on, and the brave will follow you on the road.

Start reading and exercising regularly

Apart from the dopamine production and the desire to learn, more importantly, you start to realise that there is more to life than just the little circle you were in.

A person who lies down all day will not know the kind of joy that comes from being on a treadmill.

Similarly, those who don't love reading will never understand how the world is seen by those who have knowledge in their brain.

Begin express yourself regularly

So, please start expressing and outputting regularly, for example, writing articles, which, at first, may not be read by many people, but as you write better and better and more, more people will read them.

Eat well at every meal

What is the most basic sign that a person is being alive?

The answer is to eat well at every meal.

You can take the initiative to choose some ingredients that will ensure you have three meals a day, with less sugar, lesser carbs and more high protein and vegetables.

The body is the carrier of the soul, when the body is finished, it's too late for everything.

Gradually start to be grateful for the world

I have a friend who send thank you to his loved ones everyday.

People can become particularly uncaring and ungrateful, taking everything for granted.

But once said, you feel the world is full of warmth, and really, if one is even grateful for every day one is alive, the state of being will change dramatically.

What's more, it's not just the person who is grateful that will actually benefit, it will be themselves.

Some studies have shown that a grateful person has a higher sense of well-being themselves than the person being thanked.

Understand the meaning of solitude

Solitude is the best period of appreciation, there will be a point when you do not have the accompaniment of your large circle of friends compared to now.

At the end of the day, people are meant to be alone. But there is one characteristic of masters: they are used to being alone, they enjoy it and they find a better version of themselves in it.

If you ask me what is the meaning of solitude, I think it is a kind of dialogue with oneself.

10 Knowing how to let go and not to cling to it

The last one is the most important, because almost all suffering comes from clinging to something or someone.

And as you begin to let go of that wrong person that you love so much

Letting go of that painful experience that you cannot change

Letting go of the things you hated but couldn't let go of

Congratulations, you've come out of it.

I hope this helps.

Be aware of your own weaknesses and strengths

Each of us must learn to look at our own shortcomings and strengths correctly. Everyone will have strengths and weaknesses, but we must look at our own strengths and weaknesses rationally from a correct perspective. Only by facing up to your own superiority can you change yourself and make yourself better.

If a person has shortcomings, if others point it out to you, you must learn to change. Many people are often unable to face up to their own shortcomings because they can't let go of their so-called face. If they compare their shortcomings with other people's advantages, of course they will lose.

A clumsy bird will always be last and be laughed at by other birds. Winter is coming, and all the birds are flying south. It thought that although it was clumsy, it could fly to the south first, so that it would never be ridiculed by others, and it didn't want to be the last one.

When it was ready, it flew to the south by itself, but it couldn't remember the direction to go to the south, and soon lost its way, so it had no choice but to fly back. When it returned, it found that other birds were gone.

It had no choice but to continue flying to the south alone, and lost its way while flying. It didn't know what to do. Eventually winter came, it was frozen to death on the road.

It is not that the path of the clumsy bird flying first is suitable for everyone. Just like this bird, you must first look at the problem from a rational perspective and see your own shortcomings. When you are not able to change yourself, you must learn to let go and learn, ask others for advice. This little bird did not correctly analyze its ability because of its own ‘face’. When your ability cannot support your face, you must learn to let go of the so-called ‘face’ and learn. Only by being able to endure the ridicule of others and being able to bend and stretch can one become stronger.

There are many such stories in life. We see that many people always like to compare themselves with others. When others use their mobile phones well, they must have one. When others wear branded clothes, they must own one. When others drive cars, they must have one. They always feel that face is very important, but you have to see if you have the ability to compare with others. Others are rich people. Of course, you can choose what you like to buy.

We are just ordinary people, face is not that important.

We also have to learn to play to our strengths and change our own weaknesses, we cannot change some shortcomings, so we have to make up for them and cover them up with our strengths. For example, if we are stupid, we need to learn more. We can practice ten times or eight times what others know at one time. Not all successful people are smart people, and stupid people will become excellent through hard work. The premise is that if you want to see your own shortcomings, you must learn to work harder than others.

18. In the face of small groups, a neutral relationship is the safest. Don't rush to stand in line, neither good nor bad to people. Because a small group formed for the purpose of isolation will inevitably split again for the purpose of isolation.

If you support him to isolate others today, tomorrow he may unite with others and begin to isolate you. This is due to human nature.

After all, some love can be met but never sought. Those who cannot wait should not wait, and the world that cannot be squeezed in should not hold on.

28. Always keep 30% of the mystery for yourself. Only then will others see a side of you they didn't expect, and you will always bring something new to others. This rule applies to all relationships.

29. 99% of all the people you meet in your life are strangers. So, relax, you don't have that many viewers.

30. If you can't say good things, avoid bad things or shut up. I am afraid that what you say unintentionally will be deliberately interpreted by people with ulterior motives.

The top level of self-discipline: "Never expose, but stay away, and quietly eliminate you.”

Some insights from life:

1. Have you noticed that when people start to show off, it is often the beginning of disasters. It means that when people are in good times, they don't have to show off too much.

We should all remain low profile. After all, there may be people in this world who really want you to live well, but most people don't want you to live better than him.


2. If one day the great luck arrives and makes you rich, you must always remind yourself: don’t forget the way you ran without an umbrella in those days of heavy rain; How did you survive the days of rain? Remember to help those who are running in the heavy rain and those who are wandering around, hungry and cold, help them, and love them

 

3. I have always liked this saying: the noblest punishment is silence, and the most reserved revenge is ignorance. Less entanglement in bad things, less anger for unworthy people, and make your life more exclusive. Learn to let go in order to move forward better. This world may seem complicated, but in essence it is still your world alone.

There are too many surprises in this world, and some things are simply not worthy of possession.

Have your emotions. Life is an experience, please enjoy it.


4. I saw this sentence that inexplicably encouraged me, and I hope it also encouraged you: I know you are very tired recently, it is the invisible physical and mental exhaustion, but please perseveres. Even if no one cares about it, it doesn't matter if your skills are inferior to others, don't let restlessness and anxiety ruin your lack of enthusiasm and concentration. Don't be greedy, we can't have everything, and don't be discouraged, we can't have nothing.

 

5. You don't have to compare yourself to others. You don't become an ostrich if you are a bat by nature.

"Spending money" is an art, but you must not be reluctant to spend these three kinds of money


Friday, August 11, 2023

"Spending money" is an art, but you must not be reluctant to spend these three kinds of money

Billionaire Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, said: " Spending a sum of money wisely is as difficult as earning it."

Seeing this sentence, you may be thinking, in order not to fall into the trap of consumption, I struggle to control my desires every day, for fear that one day I will not have enough money to spend, but you tell me that it is difficult to spend money?

In fact, it doesn't mean that spending money is called being able to spend money, it's just called buying things.

Spending money is a skill as well as an art. How to make every penny you spend worth the money is a master.

Careful planning has risen to be an essential skill for every adult's life.

However, some money seems to be saved now, but more money will be spent to make up for it in the future.

And some money seems to be a kind of loss now, but if you look at it from the perspective of development, it can bring you double returns.

1. Don't save money on human relationships

Favours can bring you temporary convenience, but it may also bring unexpected burdens.

B works as a copywriting planner. In addition to her own job, she will take on some part-time jobs in her spare time.

Once, a friend found B and said that it was his current project and needed some copywriting planning, could he ask her for help.

B agreed to her friend's request, and it took a few days to complete it as required.

After receiving the plan, the friend never gave any feedback. B couldn't help sending a message to her friend, asking if the plan was feasible.

The friend told B that the company was very satisfied with her plan, and then mentioned the friendship between the two of them, and made things easy, without any mention of remuneration.

Not long after, because there was a problem with the plan that needed to be changed, her friend contacted B again, hoping that she could help to change it. Unexpectedly, B blocked her friend's account.

In life, we often hear the words "We have such a good relationship, so you can help me." They are unwilling to pay in the name of friendship, thinking that they have found a bargain, but lost their precious friendship.

There is a saying that goes well: "Don't be afraid to owe favours to others, as long as you know how to pay them back."

Whether it is feelings or friendship, the relationship can only be stable if both parties work hard and pay together.

On the contrary, if you blindly ask for it and calculate gains and losses everywhere, others will just stay away from it.

In this world, no one treats you well for no reason, and there is nothing that should be taken for granted. Every effort made by others needs to be responded and rewarded. Therefore, money for human relations cannot be saved.

 

2. Money for self-appreciation cannot be saved

I saw a question: What is the best investment? Stocks, Futures or Funds?

​There are answers such as Investing in the stock market can lead to gains and losses, and investing in business can lead to gains and losses, but investing in yourself is sure to make profits without losing money.

"Rather than having money, it is better to be valuable."

I believe everyone has a deep understanding. There is no stable job in this world. A large number of business establishments have been cancelled, and it has become a contract system since the pandemic.

only by constantly improving yourself and improving yourself can you resist the wind and rain of life.

I was deeply influenced by a classmate. No matter how much salary I have now, I must develop “the habit of spending some money for my future ."

Therefore, every month he will spend 5% of his salary to invest in himself and learn a skill, such as buying professional books, attending a writing camp, signing up for a financial management course, getting a certificate, and learning a skill. Skin care and more.

he recorded all these expenditures in the account book one by one, and set a goal for himself to save up the tuition fees for the courses to be registered little by little every month.

It has allowed him to be promoted in the workplace and his salary has also been increased. He doesn’t feel sorry for the money spent in this way. It allows him to improve every day.

 

3. Don’t save the money of honouring your parents.

As the saying goes: "There is no love without a reason, and there is no hate without a reason."

The only love in this world that does not ask for anything in return and works hard is the love of our parents for us.

Our parents worked hard to bring us up. In order to keep us fed and clothed, they cut down on food and clothing and saved money to pay for our college education, so that we can get in touch with the outside world and broaden our horizons.

But when we grew up and stayed in the big cities to work, we found that our parents who were far away in their hometown had already had gray hair, and they were really old.

Taking advantage of the fact that our parents are still there, besides going back to spend more time with our parents during the holidays, we will do our best to take them to the hospital for a physical examination once a year, take them to buy some gifts, and give out red envelopes for the festival... …

As children, we must not save money for honoring our parents.

"A person can earn a lot of money by cleverness, hard work and luck, but it takes wisdom to spend it.

How to manage money correctly is a topic that each of us needs to learn.

Learn to use money seriously, spend it in the right place, and use it wisely. This is the meaning of making money.

How to spend the first salary meaningfully?

A girl in Hangzhou used her first salary to buy a mobile phone for her best friend" rushed into the hot search and caused heated discussions.

Netizens expressed that "this kind of girlfriends is really enviable", " please give me a dozen girlfriends like this". The girl expressed that she wanted to make her best friend happy for a lifetime, and would spoil her no matter what.

Of course, there are also different voices, such as "Why don't you buy it for your parents first?" and so on.


01 Salaries handed over to parents

This reminded me of how the first salary in my life was spent?

My first salary was very low, like only $800. I gave $500 to my mother and kept $300 to buy daily necessities.

At that time, I was young and my thoughts were simple. I just want to earn money and give it to my parents to subsidize the family. I want to help my parents save money for my younger brother to study.

Therefore, my first salary income is basically handed in in full, and the use was very simple. I didn't buy gifts for myself, my family or friends, I didn't do anything earth-shattering, and I didn't have any special meaning.

 

02 Buy a gift for someone you love

Although my younger brother is younger than me, he worked earlier than me.

My younger brother's first job was to work as an assembly line worker in a factory. After working hard for a month, my younger brother was very happy when it came time to get paid. He went to the factory very early that day.

When I went home in the afternoon, I brought back a watch and said it was for me. The dial and strap are both gold, delicate and beautiful, and I have liked gold since then.

The younger brother said that he had visited several watch shops and thought this one was the best.

I was so moved that I was about to cry. I was afraid that he would make a joke, so I suppressed my tears.

Since then, this watch has accompanied me throughout my youth, from going to school to working until now, I still keep it. This should be the most valuable of my assets, at least in my eyes.

 

03 How to spend the first salary

The first salary, no matter how much or how little, is a reward for our hard work when we first enter the workplace. Different people treat their first salary differently.

Some people have understood the difficulty of their parents, and began to learn to live on a budget, save a small part of their salary first, and use the rest to pay some fixed expenses, such as rent, water and electricity bills and so on. Some people will use their first salary to express their gratitude to those who have helped them, such as wrapping a red envelope for their parents, preparing a small gift for their mentor... In fact, it doesn’t matter what you give, what is important is the content contained in it.

There are also people who reward themselves with the first salary and experience the harvest after hard work. There is nothing wrong with this.

Make an appointment with friends for a dinner, buy home the lipstick that you have wanted for a long time, and send yourself a bouquet of flowers, watch a movie with your loved one, record your happiness in the day's account book, and set the next "small goal" by the way..

How does it make sense to get the first salary? There is no standard answer. But no matter how you arrange it, it is recommended to save money, learns to keep accounts, spend rationally, don't spend extravagantly, and leaves some living expenses for yourself while celebrating happily. Because I still have to live for the next month, I will rely on the saved wages.

Do you still remember the first time when you were paid your salary? How much did you spend? Do you have any good memories?
