What do the wealthy people teach you? Part 2

What do the wealthy people teach you? Part 2

6. People who are rich and well-founded actually benefit from the accumulation of the previous generations.

The more money you have, the more you pay attention to education. Use money to get more resources for improvement to have an even better life.

You know, no one will simply die of poverty. Many people go to the end only because they lack knowledge, and this is the most deadly, because ignorance will bind you and drag you into the abyss slowly.

7. Rich people often lie to others, but never lie to themselves.

The characteristic of the rich is that they can deceive. They will deceive people in order to create value, boost morale, and achieve benefits.

Some very powerful people can even send you a wrong message without telling a lie, and you can never see any flaws at all.

However, they have a harsh judgment about their true situation, and they will never be immersed in the beautiful fantasy that they describe. This is completely opposite to the poor.

8. It is difficult for the poor to become true friends with the rich.

Because of the differences in opinions, and lifestyles of the two people are very huge.

Take the level of consumption as an example. The consumption of the wealthy will always increase. If both parties eat or go shopping together, it will be unpleasant for both.

The rich must lower their desires, but the poor only want to meet the minimum requirements. People of different classes have different things every day, and there are very few common topics.

9. People who can boast seem to be more valuable.

To give a very simple example, if there are 2 applications for the job, one of them requests a monthly salary of 5K, and the other requests a monthly salary of 10K. Most people will think that a person with a monthly salary of 10K will be more capable. .

Of course, it is not for you to overvalue yourself. What I want to express is: increase the price appropriately based on your own ability.

For example: if you only have a value of 2K, but you ask for a price of 10K, you will be thrown out by HR.

Therefore, young people must learn more skills, these skills not only provide you with the confidence to speak up, but also become your ‘weapons’ in the future.

10. The lesser the obligations you have, the more victorious you can be

Why? Because you are bold and have the courage to have a go at it.

You can imagine when you have old parents, young kids, a mortgage, or a car loan to take care of; will you be brave enough to use up your savings to invest? Or will you find a stable job and live the rest of your life taking the safer approach?

Therefore, if you want to put up a good fight, you must hurry up when your parents are not old and your children don’t need much support, 25 to 35 years old, a golden ten years.

 What do the wealthy people teach you? Part 1

1. Stay away from the ‘poor’ education your parents give you.

After interacting with a few young people who have achieved a "class transition", the biggest experience I have got is, if you were born in a family with very poor economic conditions, the key advice your parents gave you must be wrong.

You can learn their ways of doing things, you can also learn from their maturity, but don't rely fully on their economic teachings. And if you think about it, if they can give the right advice and make the right choices on these things, they won't have to spend their entire lives being poor.

It's not that they don't love you, but they can't teach you how to get out of poverty.

2. Confidence, style, temperament, talent, these qualities that seem to have nothing to do with money, are actually accumulated with money.

When you pay close attention to the young but talented, confident, and arrogant people around you, they must have grown up in a privileged environment since childhood, and their parents are by no means destitute, or the norm citizens.

3. Poverty makes a person timid, afraid to try, afraid to invest, and even cautious about interacting with others.

Only when you are not entrapped by money you can really make the right choice.

4. Money exchanged for health is destined not to bring happiness.

Now that most people have a small amount of money in their hands, various physical problems begin to appear, especially some young people, who have left various irreversible injuries to their bodies at a young age.

The tens of thousands of dollars in exchange for staying up late and working overtime will not let you reach the peak of life, but will make you suffer endless torture in the later part of a long life. By the way, some experts pointed out: 60% of people will use 60% of their life savings for the last 28 days of life.

Regardless of whether this number is accurate or not, it is not worth to exchange health for money. It is necessary to balance health and money. Only in this way can we develop in the long run.

5. Masters are generally good at selling.

When you visit shopping malls often, you will find that the bestselling products are not necessarily the best quality, but they must be the best marketed.

Mobile phones, wine, and clothes are all the same. The ones with high sales and profit are not the best ones; they just sell like hot cake.

Therefore, whether it is a person or a product, you must learn to promote it. No matter how good things are, if it is not well marketed, it is equivalent to a waste product.

Are you smart? Part 2

5. Smart people have a growth mindset, while ordinary people have a fixed mindset.

Smart people think that failure is their learning opportunity, and smart people think that the real failure is the failure to grow. Smart people are willing to accept failure, review problems, and try to do better next time. When smart people are being queried, they will see it as opportunities for reflection and improvement. Smart people are constantly improving and will not let themselves stay stagnant.

Ordinary people have a fixed mindset, thinking that failure means that they have no talent in this area. They are more concerned with their face and self-esteem. They are unwilling to face failures and challenges, because their mindset is that they can't go wrong if they don't act. The success of ordinary people does not come from progress, but from other people's evaluation of themselves. Ordinary people will not reflect on the problem, and will attribute the problem to the external environment or others.

6. Smart people are the masters of money, and ordinary people are the slaves of money.

Smart people pay attention to their own needs, smart people do not love money, smart people only love what money can bring, family, friendship, opportunities, growth, time, and freedom. Ordinary people just love money. Ordinary people think money is more important than themselves.

7. Smart people like to review problems, and ordinary people like to avoid problems.

When encountering difficulties, confusion, and upset, smart people will regard this as an opportunity for their own growth. They conduct ‘anatomy’ on themselves, discover the cause of the problem, and avoid making mistakes next time.

When ordinary people encounter difficulties, their first reaction is to ignore them, and they don't want to mention it again. As a result, precious opportunities for growth are missed.

8. Smart people always do things within their own circle of ability, and ordinary people are always deadlocked with things they are not good at.

Smart people know very well that what can make them live happily is what they do what they excel in, so smart people spend a lot of time trying, the purpose is to find what they like and are good at through experimenting.

One's own advantage can only be discovered through multiple times of experimenting.

Some people play games well, then become a game host; some people like to think and can be a learning blogger; some people love to travel, so be a travel blogger. Smart people always survive where they have a competitive advantage. This is the first step in winning the competition.

Ordinary people are unwilling to discover their own advantages and are always bound by a set of rules. Thus they spend a lot of time and energy to make up for the things they are not good at.

A lot of people will tend to spend their lives doing something that they don’t excel in, just because that particular job looks more ‘correct’ for others.

9. Smart people always pay more attention to adequate sleep, healthy eating, and exercise, while ordinary people are just the opposite.

Smart people understand that adequate sleep, healthy eating, and persistent exercise are the most basic things for continuous improvement, a healthy mentality and overcoming failure.

Smart people understand that with a good body and energy, nothing is too bad.

Ordinary people are on the contrary. Greasy diet, alcohol, and overeating are just satisfying the current physical desires, trying to get more work done by prolonging the working hours. They enter into the vicious cycle of having bad health and affect their work.


Let’s start having the mentality of the smart people so that we can all have a fruitful life ahead.
