The most important thing in a person’s life is to cultivate one’s self-cultivation and virtue. The so-called "small victory depends on wisdom, and great victory depends on virtue." Relying on hard work and diligence and some basic skills and means, we can maintain the most basic food and clothing, but if we want to do a great and earth-shaking career, we must have blessings and virtues. " Yijing " tells us that only virtue can carry things. People with shallow virtue will suffer disasters in the future. This is true.
In life, we yearn for those beautiful things, such as wealth, fame, status, etc. We always want to gain a lot, and it seems that there is no end. However, we first need to strictly "examine" ourselves to see if we have sufficient moral cultivation.
is like building a high-rise building. If you don’t have enough virtue, it means that the foundation is unstable. When you have more and more things, that is, the building is getting taller and higher, it will be more dangerous. One day, it will even collapse in an instant.
Therefore, from the beginning, we must pay attention to our words and deeds, strive to improve our self-cultivation, and constantly improve ourselves, which is equivalent to laying the foundation very solid, so that we can build high-rise buildings with confidence and boldness.
If a person develops the fine style of thrift and simplicity since childhood, has the courage and determination to move forward without fear of difficulties and obstacles, and knows how to be willing to help others, do good deeds and benefit others, and knows how to think about him from the perspective of others, such excellent qualities are enough to achieve his future life.
On the contrary, if a person spends money since childhood, has no plans and arrangements, is extravagant and wastes randomly, and has a strong sense of vanity, and becomes jealous when seeing things that others have but they don’t have, he will become lazy and careless, not enterprising, and has a limited mind and structure. He likes to take small gains, only care about the present moment, ignores the long-term, only cares about himself and others, when such a person grows up, he will be overly greedy for his own interests and take improper means to make a living and develop. The height of his life will be very limited, and he will definitely accept the punishment of cause and effect. This is a typical example of "if virtue is not in harmony with the position, there will be disaster."
Whether you look for historical experience or observe the people we meet around you, you will find the same truth. Why are there such a big difference between people? When we dig deep into its inner essence from the external results, you will definitely find that all this is closely related to the way of dealing with people, the height and width of their thoughts, and every word and action.
If you want to become a rich person, you have to change yourself and have the thoughts, language and behavior of a rich person, and improve yourself through strict self-cultivation. Once your virtue is improved, your destiny will gradually change.
