Success is the same, but failures are different.
People with these three abilities will often have happier and more fulfilling lives.
Control the desire for consumption
Under the flow of material desire, we can always control the desire for consumption: we also want to buy this, and we also want to buy it, regardless of whether it is really necessary or not.
We can’t stop like a clockwork machine. We work hard to make money while spending wildly. It should have been for a better life, but in the end it became a slave to desire.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
There is a "ratating effect" in economics: people's consumption habits are irreversible after they are formed. Easy to adjust upwards, but difficult to adjust downwards.
Once the gate of desire is opened, it will continue to expand.
You can’t go home empty-handed when you don’t receive express delivery. If you see a promotion, you will feel uncomfortable if you don’t buy it...
Many people have good income, but they often look like moonlight.
always wants to save the remaining money, but after paying the salary, I first buy and buy crazily, and then live the rest of my life with a slim life. Of course, I have no money at the end of the month.
We always think that the more we get, the happier we will be.
In fact, when a person's desire is low and he is satisfied a little bit, he can feel great happiness.
And when desire increases to a certain level, the sense of happiness will not only drop rapidly, but also feel empty inside.
Only by knowing how to control desires can you avoid being retaliated against by desires.
Frugality itself is a source of wealth.
Don’t buy those who are struggling, don’t buy those who don’t use them in the short term, don’t buy repeat items, don’t buy those who stock up on the stock... Reduce unnecessary material desires and spend money on the edge.
Only when you have the ability to control your desire to consume can you be more confident in your life.
Take good care of the body
People often say, don’t have money, don’t have any illness if you have anything.
Stay up late to work overtime, work sick, and dare not rest, for fear that once you stop, you will be crushed by reality. But energy is limited. Once you get tired and sick, life will be in chaos.
Many times, what disrupts life is that disease.
Research shows that if all organs in the human body are calculated at the highest price, a healthy person is worth about US$43 million, or about RMB 300 million.
Take good care of your own body means managing billions of assets.
Stay up late less and exercise more. Only when you are healthy can you continue.
know how to invest in yourself
When answering the question of which stock you should buy under super inflation, Buffett said: The best way to protect yourself under inflation is to invest in yourself. No matter what situation you encounter, your personal talent will not be under inflation pressure.
There are profits and losses in the stock market, and there are wins and losses in the investment business, but you can make sure that you make money and not lose money in your investment. Even if you encounter difficulties, you will be the capital and confidence to make a comeback.
- Invest in yourself and cultivate both inside and outside.
"The Rules of Disciples" says:
The crown must be straight, the key must be kneaded, the socks and shoes are tightly tight.
People are used to defining a person with appearance: they are sloppy, they are not good at doing things, they are exquisite in appearance, and they must pay attention to doing things.
appearance is the most intuitive manifestation of us when we show ourselves to this world. If you have a look that is offensive, you will have a hard time getting the chance to show your inner self.
In some situations, your ability is hidden in your "appearance". It’s not that you want to be so beautiful, but that you need to have a management attitude.
Invest in your own image and become a walking business card.
- All your money is to learn, no one can take it away. Investment knowledge benefits the most. In the documentary "The Rich Man's Battle", Hong Kong tycoon Tian Beichen was invited to experience the life of sanitation workers for 3 days.
He needs to work 17 hours a day to eat the cheapest box lunch, but only get the lowest reward. After the recording of the
program, Tian Beichen's only wish was to have a good meal.
Finally, he said:
"This society is punishing people who cannot read books extremely severely."
Reading is the lowest-cost investment, and it is also a shortcut to turn up the trend in life and self-value.
The era is constantly changing, there is no stable work, only stable ability.
Only by knowing how to invest in yourself, broaden your horizons, and improve your taste can you have a broad vision and excellent ability.
