Who suffers before happiness — The greatest tragedy of the poor is not lack of money, but short-sightedness in thinking. They do not see the future, settle with the present, do not even consider their own future. This is not just a matter of vision, but also a matter of perception. 1. In the eyes of the poor, the so-called real effort is “working against the clock.” The reason the poor are getting poorer is not because they don’t work hard, but because they don’t have compound interest. He focuses only on the present moment. The more money he lacks, the more he will care about money and the more important things he will ignore. The income of many poor people will not be greatly improved despite his rich experience, know-how, technology, service, diligence, hard work and seniority of work. They work long hours every day and even overtime. Many people only know how to work hard to “make money”, work overtime but lack a long-term career plan and self-improvement efficiency, overtime time is not enough, where to find time to manage expenses and efficient asset investment. Gradually, the self-doubt is getting bigger and bigger because working forever not getting rich leads to despair and actually becomes poorer. 2. The poor family’s educational method makes the poverty passed on to the next generation. This can be divided into two aspects, one is the thinking and the other is the way of education of the poor family. First, most poor families have a compensatory mentality, the worse the family situation, the more they feel they can’t let their children be deprived. Many families with poor economic conditions, limited in their own vision, are prone to making mistakes in educating the next generation: They just need their children to get good grades. This type of family only cares about their children’s academic performance. For these kids, parents won’t let them do the laundry, don’t clean, don’t teach them things like saying hello to strangers, practicality, frustration resistance. and other things unrelated to their achievements. This directly leads to the child’s sense of responsibility and poor social abilities. Later, when they go to work, they will become sons and daughters in the company, who do not use their brains to work but force others to serve them. 3. If you want to change the current poverty situation, the following suggestions may help you. First, the poor must learn to put off desires that are beyond their reach and reduce spending. Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” says that people who say money is meant to be used and not saved are “dumb and stupid spenders.” Rich people first earn money to become rich and then they spend money to enjoy, while poor people do the opposite. Before he became rich, he began to spend money to enjoy himself, in the end he was not rich, only saw a bunch of debt due to his act of debauchery. There is a story called “The Mouse Trap”: the mouse runs on the wheel. The faster it runs, the faster the wheel spins and eventually the mouse has to stop because it’s too exhausted. The reason the poor can never achieve wealth is partly because they get caught up in the “rat trap” race. The rich did not enjoy luxury at first, but in the end they did enjoy the pleasure of having a lot of money in their hands. The poor like to enjoy from the beginning, so the initial capital accumulation rate of the poor is greatly reduced or even absent. —————– Source: st
