I’ve been observing for a long time...
Finally, a conclusion was reached:
For ordinary people, basically they cannot complete initial accumulation, and their whole life is destined to last until old age, working until they die!
An ordinary person, no matter whether you have a few hundred yuan, a few thousand yuan, tens of thousands, or even a few hundred thousand, will still “have something happen,” prompting you to spend it willingly! Especially ordinary men living on the bottom rung—they find it even harder to complete initial accumulation. Smoking, drinking, playing cards upstairs... Many people work for over ten years, year after year only...
An ordinary young person cannot truly know that they can change their fate. Once they know, they will have already reached middle age! Of course, most people when they grow old still don’t know—they never will in their entire lives!
A small group who come to middle age and know how to change their fate—this small group is divided into two types:
Most of that small group no longer have that kind of passion and execution. They know it’s one thing, but it doesn’t affect anyone. Until the very end, they accomplish nothing and leave this wonderful world in regret! The second type can be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. For example, Jiang Ziya, who went down the mountain at age 72—he belongs to this kind of person!
△△△For a typical young person, the way to change your fate is actually very simple:
When you turn 20 and come out of school into society, the first main line of your life is to strengthen your body and keep your body and brain in their best, healthiest state at all times! (Thinking you’re healthy when you’re actually always up late is for idiots; staying up all night to gamble and play cards is for idiots; big fish and big meat with alcohol in the middle of the night is for idiots; being so consumed by romance and love that you’re ready to die is even more of an idiot; and taking out loans to overspend on all kinds of so-called rituals and ceremonies is a fighting champion among idiots...) On that premise, you should complete your original accumulation. In the first half of your life, you should live like a wandering ascetic—don’t just randomly waste money (...don’t waste it—look for it in the pinyin of the name), save every hard-earned cent you make, accumulate it, and invest in an upward-moving target. Once it generates interest and then compound interest, it will just be enough to match the income of an ordinary person working a job—at that point, your body becomes free! You don’t have to work anymore, and you don’t have to do that exhausting little side business that’s even more grueling than working for a living!
At this point, your wealth will keep growing, and little by little it will surpass the income you’d get from an ordinary person working a job...
Continue,
Persist,
The older you get, the more valuable you become!
At this stage, you have both poetry and the faraway places. Wherever you go, the people you meet are also all people you love!!
Let me emphasize this particularly: “Ordinary people are destined to live on and work till the day they die.” This is not an absolute curse.
△What truly traps most people is wasting all that money piece by piece—wearing their bodies down to the point of exhaustion. From age 20 onward,守住 your health and every single penny, and invest it into a compounding instrument. When the interest covers your work income, you will have personally broken that “destined” fate.
The older you get, the more valuable you become—but only for the few who manage to go through the original accumulation. The scenery they ultimately see is something the vast majority of ordinary people can never complete in their lifetime!
