I have always believed:
No matter what era you are in, as long as you are willing to be down-to-earth and do the things at hand responsibly, although you may not be rich in this life, at least you will not starve to death or worry your family.
But there are all kinds of people in this world, which will always refresh your understanding and let you understand how different the world is and how big the gap between people can be.
This article was inspired by my idle older cousin and reflection on my own shortcomings.
People with these kinds of behaviors are destined to not make money. Even if they make money, it will be difficult to keep them.
You may feel a little uncomfortable while watching it. Please read it patiently and leave your opinions.
01. People who are eager for quick results
Why put this in the front?
Because I found that whether it requires time and energy to develop a skill or simply do physical work, people who are eager for success will not make a lot of money.
And there is no job that can be quit after just one or two days, making a little money.
Students have studied hard for 20 years, and they also need to pass the internship period to find a job;
Freelance writers want to support themselves through their own articles, first of all You also have to spend a lot of time researching positioning, platform selection, material accumulation and content selection, in order to truly be recognized for a long time;
Freelance entrepreneurs also need to invest capital in the early stage, purchase equipment and services, and it takes several months to actually open the door to make a living.
People who are eager for success will have a hard time getting through the preliminary preparation work and preparation. They will make excuses saying that they are not suitable and give up before they really start.
02. People who like to complain but never reflect on themselves
The origin cannot be changed unless you are reincarnated.
I used to feel deeply inferior because I was just an ordinary rural girl, especially after seeing the prosperity of big cities.
When I understood that the gap between myself and others was too big, I was no longer simply envious and jealous, because it was useless.
I stopped complaining.
I am only 20 years old. I can be anyone. I can lead a better life with my parents instead of always complaining about my origins and them. This is a sign of incompetence.
People who only complain but do not reflect on themselves will always waste time on meaningless things, will never make progress, and will never make money.
03. A person who covets comfort and is restless
Some time ago, my eldest cousin, who was in his 30s and had not yet started a family and started a career, came to me and said he wanted to learn English with me. He thought spoken English was very important.
He said that because he saw someone’s path to fortune on Douyin , he thought he could try it too.
At that time, for the first time, I felt that the image of this idle cousin was much bigger in my mind. Although his ideas did not sound so reliable, it is always good to have a "head on" in my heart.
I told him to save money first. Now, to learn anything, you need capital to buy materials and pay to study.
More than a month later, I saw the circle of friends he posted that was similar to a nightclub, and I went to hang out with my "good buddies". My desire to learn again was gone forever.
I am embarrassed to say anything, I just feel it is a pity.
Coveting for comfort is the fragile side of everyone’s heart. After all, we still want to move forward.
It’s just that money is earned through bitterness first and then sweetness. It’s not that simple. You need to overcome your laziness.
04. People who want everything
What can support a person in life is not academic qualifications and cleverness, but a skill that is cultivated seriously.
The more irreplaceable you are, the higher the unit price of the labor you pay and the higher the wage.
It takes several years or even more than ten years to cultivate a skill deeply, and the more deeply you cultivate it, the easier it is to improve a person's ability.
An obvious characteristic of those who want to learn everything is that they are "general but not precise".
People like this are in an awkward situation when looking for a job. They learn everything, want everything, but are not strong in anything.
In this case, the salary is not much different from that of ordinary people.
The more correct approach is:
First, delve deeply into one field, and then cross-border to other fields that can bring further improvement to this field.
05. People with poor execution ability
People who only talk but do not do, and only think but do not do are destined to fail to make money.
People like this have great ambitions in their hearts, and their ideas for making money are also very innovative and promising. However, because they think too much, they always preset too many difficulties for themselves, which leads to failure before they even start.
Those who have less mature ideas but have the courage to put them into action, even if they walk a little slower than others, will go a long way and get their own share of the harvest.
What is more terrifying than just talking but not doing is: doing it in the wrong direction.
You like reading and have read a lot of books, but you have not applied what you learned from reading to your life, and you will not make money.
Because the former's efforts are inward, he has indeed improved his awareness, but the latter's efforts are external and public. can only make money by focusing on things that can help others.
06 People who give up easily
What’s more frustrating in many cases is:
Those who are dumber than you, but foolishly persist, get what you want.
Thinking about it carefully, it’s strange that these people who can persist as always can’t make money.
Life is a marathon. To do one thing, more often than not, the competition is not intelligence, talent and careful calculation, but the persistence of a fool.
People who give up easily are impatient and impatient, and it is easy to give up because they cannot see results in a short period of time. This is exactly what losers have in common.
There is a sentence in "Getting Rich Slowly" that I like very much:
Your persistence and hard work may not yield immediate results, but over time, there will always be results and some kind of gain. Such harvest is the real asset.
Now that you have chosen the path you want to take, stick to it and put in 10,000 hours first.
The above are the 6 manifestations of not making money that have been carefully summarized. See if you have these manifestations.
