Xiaowu since graduating from university, in order to have a better development, he decided to leave his hometown and go to the big city alone. However, the big city looks bright and beautiful, but Xiao Wu feels that life is very stressful. After all, the pace of life in the whole city is very fast, and he can't slack off for a moment, otherwise even his basic survival will be a problem.
In order to make more money, Xiao Wu can only work hard, not only doing the main business, but also developing several side businesses at the same time. Although Xiao Wu has suffered a lot and hit a lot of walls, but fortunately, Huang Tian has paid off. After several years of struggle, Xiao Wu has a monthly salary of 3,000 yuan when he first started out of society, and now is 10,000 yuan a month. , Not only is wealth better than peers, the most important thing is to accumulate a wealth of social and work experience, these things cannot be learned in school.
During New Year's holidays and gatherings of relatives and friends, Xiao Wu’s father would never take the initiative to disclose his son’s salary to relatives and friends. Xiao Wu felt that once he had a low salary, only three or four thousand a month, which is really unspeakable. But now I have the abilities and promises. Although it is not particularly good to say that a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan is not particularly good, but compared to my peers in the same village, I am definitely able to "puff up". If my father doesn't say it, then I am a son. Show off in front of your relatives and give your parents a long face.
One Chinese New Year, several relatives of Xiao Wu had a "dining out" party together. Everyone was talking and laughing at the wine table, and the atmosphere was very lively and warm. After drinks three rounds of , relatives have started to talk about their parents.
After Xiao Wu's uncle and Xiao Wu's father had a drink, the uncle asked whether he knew it was intentional or unintentional: "I heard that Xiao Wu has been successful in the big city recently. How much salary does he get in a month?", When the uncle asked, the other relatives on the wine table calmed down and looked towards Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu saw this and was about to say that he had a monthly salary of over ten thousand yuan, so he would give his family a good look. However, his father said, "Hey, where there is any chance, it is only four thousand yuan a month." The relatives at the wine table at
heard it, or they felt boring and ate food. Either he talked with the people around him in a mocking tone. Xiao Wu was very uncomfortable when he heard relatives mocking his family, but Xiao Wu knew very well that his father must have some reason. After all, he grew up. Great, my father would never do things for no reason.
Later, after the gathering of relatives, when Xiao Wu's family was walking home, his father told Xiao Wu about his experience when he was young. Xiao Wu said with great emotion: "Jiang is really old and spicy!" Xiao Wu Sum up the following truths:
1. One set in person, one set behind.
Everyone is selfish and wants to live better than others, even relatives who are related by blood. Some relatives of
, I heard that you had a good life, on the surface they seemed to say a lot of compliments to you, saying that you are promising and capable, but they are very jealous in their hearts. In the future, I will be behind you and talk about your family's gossip. I believe many people have experienced this. Such relatives are really disgusting.
Xiao Wu's father has been in the society for decades and has already understood this phenomenon, so he said that Xiao Wu's salary was lower.
Second, make a fortune in silence.
If a person doesn't know how to keep a low profile after getting rich, then he will definitely cause a lot of unnecessary troubles and let himself be troubled. When you get rich, if you show off in front of your relatives and friends, you will definitely be sought after by your relatives. But you will also be entangled in various requests from relatives, such as borrowing money, introducing a job, pulling yourself into a company, etc.
If you refuse at this time, your relatives will definitely call you "white-eyed wolf". If you become rich, you will not put them in the eyes of your relatives. Your reputation will be stigmatized by your relatives.
Three, smooth life.
Although Xiao Wu’s father told his relatives that Xiao Wu’s salary was deliberately low, it caused the relativesDisdain and ridicule, but in the long run, it is obviously beneficial. After all, no one will take a person who has no "prosperity" at heart, so Xiao Wu will naturally live a prosperous and stable life in the future.
Summary
said that relatives have blood connections with us, but you should also keep in mind that "harmfulness is not possible, and defensiveness is indispensable", so that you can "make a fortune in silence" and last forever.
