Advice from the Rich: Without the mindset of wealth, no matter how hard you work, you will still be poor
In the United States, someone has done an experiment.
Take a hundred self-made rich and a hundred poor poor and compare them to find the reasons for the gap between rich and poor.
Later experiments showed that the most fundamental difference between the poor and the rich was the difference in daily habits.
A person's habits are often the result of thinking and cognition. In the final analysis, different cognitions lead to different behaviors and habits. Therefore, what kind of thinking do rich people have that we need to learn and learn from?
- Dare to think and act, and admit defeat ==========================================
Everyone has dreams about wealth.
There is always a dream, but, are you just talking about it on paper, or will you put it into practice?
Jack Ma once said: "Dare to think and act is the first element of success. Many young people think about a thousand ways at night, and get up in the morning to go the same way."
Money is not something you can take the initiative in just thinking about it. Everyone has the idea of making money, but why is it not successful?
The reason is very simple. Due to various concerns, you stopped and dared not act. Therefore, the final result can only be that you look at the backs of the rich and feel sorry for yourself.
But the rich are different. They dare to think and act. Even if they lose, they will admit it. If they lose this time, they will win the next time. Only by taking action can you be qualified to step into the door of wealth. Otherwise, Wealth is out of the question.
- Ability to manage risk =========================
What exactly is the gap between the poor and the rich? Is it just the difference in money? Actually not.
The biggest gap is the gap in will.
There is this fable:
God gave three poor people the same taels of silver to go into business.
After a period of time, God came to ask them how to use these silver taels. The first person said that he used the silver to buy a lot of vegetables from the farmers in the countryside, took them to the market to sell them, and finally made more money than before. Ten times the money; the second person said that he took advantage of his ability to play chess, put the money out to bet, and finally made five times more money than the original; the third person did nothing because he was afraid of losing money If you do, you are still just the silver taels that God gave him before.
In the end, God rewarded the first person with 10 taels of gold and the second with 5 taels of gold, but did not reward the third person, and took back the money he had given him earlier.
Before God left, he also said a sentence: "There will always be more and more rich people, and fewer and fewer poor people." This is the Matthew effect.
If you want to gain wealth, you must be good at managing risks. The rich are constantly trying to control risks. If you don’t try because you are afraid of risks, wealth will never come to you.
Before the rich get rich, they usually go through a risky entrepreneurial journey. Among them, there are bound to be many changes. In the face of changes, the rich will be like a spring. The more setbacks they experience, the more room for rebound. The bigger it is, but the poor often lack this kind of spring constitution. Before they do things, they will be knocked down by risks first, and they cannot see the wealth behind the risks.
In The Analects of Confucius, it is said: "If you know it is impossible, do it." In the case of knowing the thorns ahead, the rich often choose to confront fate head-on. As long as there is a little bit of hope, the rich will know the truth of letting go. Let fate yield to you.
- Eat a small loss to make a big bargain =========================================
There is a saying in China: "A good man does not suffer immediate losses." Many poor people regard this as a motto in life.
But in fact, this kind of thinking is not correct. Many times, suffering is just an appearance. People who know that suffering is a blessing will always get the wealth you want.
Rich people tend to think about problems from a long-term perspective and will not be swayed by temporary interests. They tend to maintain a kind-hearted attitude in the process of interacting with others. When necessary, they can take some small losses to help others. Because of this, the rich will earn more and more wealth.
Those who are not afraid of taking small losses will have the opportunity to obtain great wealth. You must know that being convenient with others means being convenient for yourself. This is also what we often call "altruistic thinking".
With altruism, your path to wealth will only get wider and wider.
