As the saying goes: "Thought determines wealth, thought creates wealth, and thought is wealth." Wrong ideas, lifelong suffering, and even affect generations. If the concept is wrong, the efforts will be in vain. To put it another way: thought is cause, life is fruit, what kind of thoughts you have and what kind of life you live, everything in life is determined by your values.
A correct view of money is the source of a happy life. Today, with the help of some famous sayings, we will talk about the correct concepts that we should uphold in the process of pursuing wealth.
Lu Qin said: "Don't leave wealth to children, turn children into wealth."
The ancients repeatedly stressed that virtue is the only way to carry things. If we want to leave our wealth to future generations, to make our family rich for a long time, and to break the curse of not being rich for three generations, we must educate our future generations and make them moral people, so as to keep our wealth.
Lin Zexu said: "Children and grandchildren, like me, have money to do, virtuous people have more money, and they have no ambition. My children and grandchildren are not as good as me. What do you do with money? Foolish wealth will benefit you. "
The meaning of this sentence can never be simply understood as not leaving money for the child, but emphasizing that the child's own ability is his greatest wealth.
Teacher Zheng, the king of fairy tales, said that "children manage their finances, adults manage their finances, manage their finances first, and then manage their finances", which is also the truth.
Goethe said: "if you lose money, you lose very little;" If you lose a friend, you lose a lot; If you lose courage, you lose everything. "
Some people say that "friends" have been replaced by "health". But in any case, this sentence emphasizes that material wealth is not the most important thing, and making money should be a by-product of being a man. Wealth is not an eternal friend, but a friend is an eternal wealth. A person's greatest wealth is courage and hope, and his greatest bankruptcy is cowardice and despair.
Xi Murong said, "Money is a useful thing, but it will bring you happiness only when you feel satisfied. Otherwise, it will have no positive significance except to cause you trouble and jealousy. "
Money finally brings us a sense of security. The reason why many people are insatiable is that they always feel that they don't have enough money, earn enough and save enough. The wisdom of insurance lies in using the present to prepare for the future, and using the leverage effect of small tricks to turn our worries about uncertain future results into certain economic compensation, so as to gain a sense of security.
Rousseau said: "the money in our hands is a tool to keep freedom;" The money we pursue is a tool to make ourselves slaves. "
Making money is the means, and happiness is the purpose. However, in the pursuit of wealth, many people put the cart before the horse and start for a long time, forgetting the purpose of starting. Making money and saving money has become the goal of life, making yourself a slave to money. Many people dare not enjoy the present and always pin their hopes on the distant future, but they don't know that you are waiting for the future, and the future will not wait for you. Insurance is a good coordination between the present and the future. What you do now is to make sure that everything in the future is under control.
San Mao said: "comedies in the world can be filmed without money, and most tragedies in the world cannot be separated from money."
As we said, being a man should be "inexplicably excited and hopelessly optimistic". In other words, when you learn a positive thinking mode and have a positive attitude, you can have a happy mood at any time. In fact, when we are poor, we only have one worry, that is, we have no money. If we have more money, we have another worry: where to put it, what to buy and who to leave it to, all of which have become problems. Taiwan Province compatriots said: "On the day of asset distribution, when children are unfilial." Hong Kong compatriots said: "The rich have only heirs and no relatives." These are the pains brought by wealth. Therefore, financial management is very important.
Nobel Prize in Literature winner Lessing said: "The most useless thing in life is property, and the most useful thing is intelligence." With intelligence, you can create property.
Zhuangzi said: "Useless use is great use."
Laozi said, "It's no use taking advantage."
A teacher at Fudan University said, "Friends are useless."
The spirit of Fudan University is called "a free and useless soul". Useless is useless, but there must be an inexhaustible source. Recently, Tangshan cancelled the toll station. Many toll collectors complain that they have given their youth to the toll booth and do nothing without charging. In fact, the core of the problem is that these people ignore the growth and progress of their talents and turn themselves into tools to make money.
American President Roosevelt said: "No country, no matter how rich, can afford to waste human resources."
Wealth is created by people, but we often don't pay much attention to people. This is true for the country, enterprises, individuals and families, but we can find that it is normal to take money seriously and not people seriously. When we say normal, it doesn't mean right. Whether to buy insurance or not is decided by which important issue is people or property. Anyone who thinks life is more important than money will buy insurance, and those who don't think money is more important than life.
So Lao Tzu once asked, "Who is the opposite of name and body? Which is more important, health or goods? What disease? "
Thoreau said, "All good things are cheap, and all bad things are expensive."
Laozi said: "Five colors are blind; Five tones are not deaf; Five flavors are refreshing; Riding wild hunting makes people crazy; Rare goods are an obstacle. This is a saint's stomach, so I want this. "
All dissolute material comforts are a waste of money, which eventually leads people to lose themselves and find the truth. Drinks are more expensive than boiled water, but they are very harmful to your health. The reason is simple, but it is not easy to do it.
Voltaire said, "All the splendor in the world is not worth a good friend."
85% of a person's happiness comes from good interpersonal relationships, and 15% comes from status, money and wealth. Rich people are not necessarily happy, and rich people with bodyguards everywhere must be unhappy.
Ibsen said: "Money can be the shell of many things, but it is not the fruit inside." It brings food, but it doesn't bring appetite; With medicine, without health; Bring acquaintance, but not friendship; Bring servants, but not their loyalty; It brings enjoyment, not happiness and tranquility. "
We often say, "Money is not everything, but you can't do anything without money." Although money is very important, it is never the first, being the first and making money the second; It is difficult to be a man without money; If you have the money not to be a man, you will be finished sooner or later. Therefore, the order is very important. Learn to be a man first, and then work hard to make money. This is irreversible. Stay away from upside-down dreams and you will get positive results.
