Many people think that poor thinking and rich thinking are just words that belittle the poor and beautify the rich?
is actually a big frankness. It is just that different people respond to risks differently, and there is no intention to belittle the poor and elevate the rich.
In fact, what kind of thinking we have in our minds directly determines the height of our life.
Because thinking determines behavior, behavior determines habits, and habits determine destiny.
01. Poor people's thinking tends to be certainty
To give an example, in a prize guessing activity, if you choose A, you will give you a 100% bonus. If you choose B, you will have a 50% chance of winning 10,000 yuan, and there will be another 50% chance of winning 0.
At this time, if you choose A and pursue the sure 100 yuan bonus, then this may be the poor thinking. If you choose B, you are likely to be the rich thinking.
02. Rich people tend to choose high probability
As long as I am within my loss tolerance, I will choose more of the more likely one to gain.
For example, in the previous example, B will have a 50% chance of winning 10,000 yuan, and the probability of choosing B is 1,000*50%=5,000 yuan, which is far greater than the 100 yuan of choosing A.
03. The choice of probability weight for rich people's thinking
However, there is an obvious bug in this example, because this prize guessing activity has no cost, that is, there is no risk in choosing AB. Then choosing AB is a successful choice, and it is impossible to distinguish between poor people's thinking and rich people's thinking.
If the entrance fee is set to 10 yuan, guessing the prize once, then choosing A may be different. The input-output ratio of A is 100/10=10, and the input-output ratio of B is 5000/10=500. Of course, this is only probability, and there is still a component of speculation and gambling.
But B then sells this lottery right to C for 100 yuan. I first received the confirmed 100 yuan, and promised that if C wins 10,000 yuan, he will give B5,000 yuan. If C is willing to bear the risk of this 100 yuan, he can sell the lottery right to D for 200 yuan, and so on, E F G H I... until no one is willing to risk this loss, the game will end.
Obviously B is a person with a rich mind here. He chooses the right to probability and strives to maximize benefits while ensuring controllable risks.
04. The poor people's thinking pursues low probability events
The best example is to buy lottery tickets. Everyone thinks that a lottery ticket worth 2 yuan per ticket has the chance to win a million yuan prize. Even if you don’t win the prize, you can just treat it as a charitable donation and it will have no impact on your life.
Little do you know that buying lottery tickets is a typical game where the poor subsidize the rich. The lottery ticket of
2 yuan looks inconspicuous, but it is not guaranteed to be issued in large quantities. China has a population of 1.4 billion. According to statistics, the daily lottery revenue is at least 200 million, which means 100 million people buy lottery tickets, and only a few people win the lottery. This probability is very low, very low. Mathematics is easy to calculate, but most lottery players will ignore this probability for their entire lives and enjoy it.
05. The rich people's thinking pursues high probability events
The best example is venture capital. Everyone is keen on the myths of wealth creation. The traders behind it are these venture capitalists . Of course, in order to increase their chances of winning, they often invest in multiple projects and industries at the same time, not only to balance risks, but they understand that companies that continue to create value can bring them astronomical figures, far away from the returns of investment in real estate and bank wealth management.
06. The poor people's thinking always lacks encouragement
In real society, the poor people's thinking often lacks encouragement. For example, when you get into college and choose a major, most people tend to choose medicine, finance, and high-tech industries that seem to be easy to find a job in the future. Even if they don’t like it or are not good at it, they are often not popular about philosophy, history, and literature because they often don’t see prospects in the short term and they are not able to bear such risks.
If you have a senior expert at this time, with certain social experience and rich experience, and give you a hug and encouragement, you may tend to choose the industry you really like, and choose basic majors such as liberal arts, mathematics, literature, philosophy, etc. Because they know that these disciplines can accompany you throughout your life.
07. The role model power of the rich thinking
There is a typical example, that is, scholarly families are prone to gathering famous people.
For example, the founder of Chinese two bombs and one satellite Mr. Qian Zhongshu , wife Jiang Ying , Chinese female vocal educator, father-in-law Jiang Baili , former principal of Baoding Army Officer School , cousin Jin Yong , a martial arts master, one of the four talents in Hong Kong, cousin Xu Zhimo , essayist, Crescent School represents poet, a true talent. The uncle and niece Qiong Yao set a precedent for Chinese romance novels.
08. Rich people generally have rich thinking
Speaking of rich thinking, of course, it is inseparable from its relationship with rich people. A rich man who does have a rich mind has often remained popular for many generations. The most famous ones are Rockefeller family , Morgan family , which is the demonstration effect of the Wealth Family.
does not mean that with such a strong foundation as the wealth empire of his ancestors, his descendants will have more opportunities and less risks, which is of course very important. However, the most important thing is that they pass on the philosophy of doing business and the spirit of struggle from generation to generation. Such teaching by example is the greatest wealth resource for their future success.
Write to the end
Poor thinking and rich thinking are indeed strongly related to poor and rich people. If the poor want to break out of the shadow of poor people's thinking, they can only jump out of their instinct, choose the right to probability, and choose the only correct option B.
