If you have entered the society and gained some work experience, you will find that in reality, some people are always respected, while others are just looked down upon. There are many people who muddle along in a job and are willing to be a "last-class citizen" who falls behind the team, rather than trying to be a "first-class citizen" according to their own strengths, which doomed such people to fail to achieve great things.
When a person is in his twenties, it is a transitional period from youth to maturity. At this time, we can know the reality as soon as possible and set up realistic life ideals, so we can avoid many detours. Today, rights and money are the guarantee of our survival, and also represent our confidence and dignity. Therefore, we can boldly tear off all disguises and make no secret of our desire for them.
As long as it is within the legal and moral bottom line, ambition should be a good thing. With ambition, you can have a good attitude and good habits of hard work and tireless work, you can force people to mobilize all their talents to solve problems, and you will not doubt your ability because of occasional setbacks.
Especially for a young man in his twenties, strong ambition can fully tap his potential and talents, and also enhance his enthusiasm in dealing with people.
Yale University is the most famous private university in the United States and even in the world. Yale University is very proud now. President Bush, President Bush and President Clinton all graduated from Yale University. Yale's philosophy of running a school is only one sentence: to train future world leaders. The biggest influence of Yale is undergraduate education. Their educational philosophy is to train every student to be a future leader. Therefore, when entering the school, the principal should interview the students one by one to see whether he is like a Yale student in essence and potential and whether he can become a leader. This screening is conducted every year. After the students came in, they were given many opportunities for independent development and all-round development. All professors have to give lectures to undergraduates, and the teaching period is completely discussion. There is a sentence in the recruitment conditions of a full professor at Yale: this person can compete with world leaders in this field.
Yale students are full of self-confidence, self-improvement, challenging spirit and social responsibility. They feel that they will become leaders through hard work.
The success of Yale reminds us that the pursuit of success, wealth and happiness is not only an inalienable right of human beings, but also an innate responsibility and obligation, which cannot be abandoned. Poverty is a disease and a bad habit, either because of laziness or ignorance. Poverty is not only a lack of money and material things, but also a lack of spirit-confidence, courage, enthusiasm, will and knowledge.
Young people in their twenties don't know that money is an important thing because they lack the discipline of life. Some people think that poverty is a kind of etiquette. In fact, the idea that poverty is the noblest is just a placebo for people who can't get rich under special conditions, and it has lost its value with the development of the times.
Generally speaking, social peace and happiness can only be achieved by creating wealth and economic prosperity. There is absolutely no peace and happiness in a poor society. Eliminating poverty and creating happiness are our unshirkable obligations in modern society. Personally, money is indispensable for a person to live, eat, wear clothes, receive education, travel or entertain.
In a civilized system, wealth may come from opportunity, innovation, change and diligence. Generally speaking, a person's wealth basically represents his talent and hard work. The more wealth he has, the greater his contribution to society. Having more wealth means that people can save a lot of time to make a living and live a relatively stable and comfortable life for themselves and their families. A person's wealth is closely related to his attitude towards money. To make money, we must first love money, that is, we are full of positive associations with money such as freedom, status, self-confidence and security. If you think that money is the root of all evil, it will affect the current harmonious relationship or bring unpredictable storms, then wealth will always pass him by.
And:
Bottom line: Money is a quantitative expression of the ability to control the material world.
Money may be the greatest invention of mankind. Because money can measure the value of most concrete things, it has also made great contributions to human civilization, making mankind progress from a barter business mode to an open trading platform for stocks, real estate, finance and so on in modern society, all of which are attributed to money. Although money plays a great role in human beings, it also brings about a series of problems.
In modern society, money can be said to be everywhere. It has already penetrated into all aspects of people's food, clothing, housing and transportation. If a person has no money, then he can't move in society; You can get material enjoyment if you have money. Because money has this function, it has a kind of crazy magic and is covered with a mysterious veil. Money is what many people yearn for. In some people's eyes, as long as they have money, they have everything. They think that money is everything, and there will be happiness with money.
But is money really everything? Can money really make people happy? Not necessarily.
Of course, with money, you can have a lot of things, you can build a materially richer family, and you can live a more comfortable material life. However, as long as we have high-grade goods, our life will never be perfect, because besides material enjoyment, spiritual pleasure is also essential and even more important for a happy life. During the revolutionary civil war in China, some revolutionary youths were willing to give up the affluent life in the city and go to Yan 'an to sleep on a heatable adobe sleeping platform and eat millet. In the early days of liberation, many scientists living abroad abandoned their houses and cars and went back to live in dormitories and ride bicycles. Their wages and material living standards have decreased, but they feel happier. It can be seen that even if a person is short of money, he lives for a noble ideal, then he is happy.
Even if a person has a lot of money, if his spiritual world is empty, or his life is not free, then there will never be happiness, and sometimes even pain. Jia Baoyu in A Dream of Red Mansions grew up in a prominent and extremely rich feudal bureaucratic family and lived a luxurious life. He is supposed to be happy, but it is not. He was imprisoned by feudal ethics and had no freedom, so he was unhappy. Nero, the ancient Roman emperor, is arguably the richest man in the world, but is he happy? His wealth and dignity only made him a beast, killing his mother, killing his teacher, and even ridiculous enough to burn down Rome. Finally, he abandoned his relatives and committed suicide. This shows that money and happiness cannot be equated.
Through the magic of money, we unveil its mystery, and we will find that money is just a commodity. If we lose the ability to exchange goods, then paper money is just some waste paper, and metal coins are just a pile of scrap iron. People who have a correct attitude and a thorough understanding of money will not be moved by money.
We should have a correct understanding of money. We can neither dismiss it as "blocking" Rainbow Yifu in the Jin Dynasty, nor want to touch it, nor be obsessed with it by hook or by crook. In a word, our attitude towards money should be "take it wisely and use it properly".
Money can be exchanged for a certain degree of material or spiritual life!
Money is a resource that can be consumed, used and exchanged!
Many people think that money can't bring real happiness.
However, we often see human disasters caused by lack of money. Husband and wife turn against each other, and father and son become enemies.
For a long time, most people in China are ordinary people, and the disparity between the rich and the poor is not great, which makes people almost ignore the real position of money in life. People also have no ability to talk about and control it. People who don't talk about money are noble people.
In recent years, many people have dug up gold first and become nouveau riche;
Later, white-collar workers, petty bourgeoisie, middle class, Confucian businessmen and capitalists appeared.
Money began its real role-playing in China.
Who says money is not important and who says money can't bring happiness?
We think money is very important;
Money can give people happiness;
Money, especially for thoughtful people, can bring real happiness!
People who can make money, control money and are indifferent to money are truly noble people.
Many people say that money corrupts people,
In fact, money is the catalyst.
Let the depraved be more depraved and the noble be more noble.
We need quality education as well as money education.
Only by letting noble people master the right of money can money play a role.
Among Zola's (1840- 1902) masterpiece The Lugong-Markard Family, Money is the nineteenth novel, published in 1892. With its great theme and the success of artistic description, it occupies an important position in Zola's whole creation. Currency is a world famous book. Its significance lies in that it vividly and richly describes a series of important social phenomena in the early stage of modern capitalism: new problems in financial markets, the role of capital, social speculative psychology and human tragedies and comedies surrounding them.
People get money by meeting various needs of society, and get various needs provided by society through money.
Finally, there are three sentences: 1 Not enough; 2. Too much trouble; 3 just right, the most enjoyable.
(CEO said) money, for you, I work hard and never give up; Now that I have you, I am still unhappy. What happened?
In fact, I don't belong to anyone, from one master's pocket to another. I don't understand either: you already have a lot, why are you holding on to me? I feel breathless in your grip. To tell the truth, I prefer to stay in the hands of the poor, because they will give me more breathing space. If you are smart, just let go! This may be a good thing and a relief for you and me.
(fame and fortune) I'm tired, too. From the first day I stepped into Vanity Fair, I never relaxed, just like the wheels on the track could not stop; Sometimes, I want to, like you, but the reality doesn't allow me to stop turning, so I can only go crazy and endlessly.
A few years ago, I had the same feelings and experiences as you. Once, after recovering from a serious illness, I suddenly found that health is precious and the meaning of life can't be exchanged for any fame and fortune. Another time, I gave my lover a rose in my hand, and she said unhappily, others sent a bunch of roses, but you sent one. At this time, I realized that if I sent a bunch, she would want 990 flowers; You send 990 flowers, she wants gold and silver jewelry; If you send jewelry, she will want a luxurious car house ... in short, she will never be satisfied. So, I finally chose the wife who sent her roses to make her happy and smile; So I finally understand a truth: indifferent life is the most real. If you are smart, you can be as relaxed as me. The problem is that you have no room for a small and incompetent person like me.
I have always been afraid of loneliness and loneliness, but I am as poor as a church mouse, with no friends, no parties and no wine. In order to pursue a high-quality life, I started an almost crazy struggle, and finally gained something and achieved great success. But somehow, it's more empty-in the fragrance of wine, at noisy parties and surrounded by friends, my heart is always empty. I still don't understand why I can't live like you.
I have never experienced this feeling, thanks to a childhood friend of mine, whose name is "sincerity". For decades, he has been with me, whether rich or poor, whether prosperous or frustrated. He taught me invisibly: don't pray for others to treat you. First, you must learn to give a sincere heart before others will repay you. With this kind of communication and interaction, I have never experienced what you call loneliness and loneliness. I can introduce this "partner" to you if you like. Maybe he can make you full and happy.
(CEO Wu Yu) If the days with gold are bright, then the happy days are golden. Thus, happiness is more important than money!
Reputation is more important than money
A man named J·P· Morgan dominates the financial empire of Wall Street in the United States today. And his grandfather, Mr. Morgan Sr., the founder of American billionaire Morgan family, was a man with nothing at that time.
During the period of 1835, Mr. Morgan was an ordinary company employee. He doesn't want to make big money. As long as he can get a little extra money in addition to his steady income, he will be satisfied.
By chance, he signed a contract to become a shareholder of a small insurance company called Ittner Fire, just because the company didn't have to take out cash at that time, just signed his name on the shareholder list, which was in line with the situation that Mr. Morgan didn't have cash at that time but wanted to make a profit, so Mr. Morgan became a shareholder of this small insurance company.
However, it didn't take long for a customer insured by Ittner Fire Insurance Company to have a fire. According to the regulations, the insurance company should pay in full. But in that case, the insurance company will declare bankruptcy. At this time, other shareholders panicked and demanded to withdraw their shares.
After careful consideration, Mr. Morgan thinks that his reputation is definitely more important than money. Then he began to borrow money everywhere. In desperation, he sold his property and bought all the shares that required to be withdrawn at a low price. He returned the full amount of compensation to the insured customer. At that time, Ittner Fire Insurance Company became famous.
Mr Morgan, who has almost no money, has become the sole owner of the insurance company, but the company is on the verge of bankruptcy. He simply advertised: "All customers who need to be insured by Ittner Fire Insurance Company will charge twice the insurance premium."
To his surprise, this time customers flocked to him. It turns out that Ittner has become the most reputable insurance company in many people's minds after this incident, and it is more popular than those famous big insurance companies. Ittner Fire Insurance Company suddenly went up again.
What makes the Morgan family successful is not the fire, but the reputation that is more important than money.
