As the saying goes: poor is not more than three generations, rich is not more than three generations. Since a person cannot change his origin, he can also change his destiny through the efforts of the day after tomorrow. In the future, a person's changes may be earth-shaking, and some people can become late and rely on their own ability to obtain hundreds of millions of wealth, such as Ma Yun, Zong Qinghou, Tao Huabi and so on.
There is also Ren Zhengfei, who has seven brothers and sisters in the family. They all live off their parents' meager wages. He could only eat a limited amount of food at each meal, never had enough to eat, and slept with only a layer of broken sheets on straw. But it was in such a difficult environment that Ren Zhengfei was admitted to college, and he also founded the current technology giant Huawei, becoming a great entrepreneur admired by everyone.
As many people say, "poor people" is not terrible, terrible is "poor heart", if you have not put in the effort, you first "admit your fate" from the heart, the probability of success is even more slim. In fact, there are 3 investments where the cost is very low. Ordinary people insist on becoming rich sooner or later for a long time, and Ma Yun has already made it clear.
Needless to say, the importance of health is increasing, especially after the global health event. Ma Yun also predicted this. He has said that people's biggest concerns in the next decade are health and happiness issues, and the next person to surpass him will also come from the health industry.
Ba Shusong, chief economist of the Banking Association, believes that China's next richest man will be born in the big medical and health industry. It is also true that from the recently released Hurun Global Rich List, although the wealth of Zhong Jingshan in Yangshengtang has dropped by nearly 100 billion yuan, it is still the richest man in China with a wealth of 455 billion yuan, ranking 15th in the world.
In addition, Ren Zhengfei has suffered from cancer twice. In the "darkest hour" of his life, he realized that people's most precious wealth is not money, but the body. With the support of the people around him, the optimistic Ren Zhengfei overcame the disease and stood firmly in people's vision. Later, Huawei and the "Huawei Chief Health and Safety Consultant" set up a special health department to be responsible for the health supervision of employees.
Therefore, only by investing in health can we have a strong body, so as to create more wealth. But if you have health problems, you not only have to spend a lot of money on treatment, but you also have to endure pain. In case of an accident, even if you make more money, it will not help. Therefore, if you have money, you still have to invest more in health and live a regular life.
The 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics laureates Abigit Banaji and Esther Defer found that the root cause of poverty is that it limits the access of ordinary people to information, leaving us poorer and poorer. Getting out of poverty is not easy, but if you believe that "anything is possible", coupled with an effective message or a little timely help, the situation will be greatly improved.
So where does this information and help come from? Just from your connections, when Ma Yun was still a teacher, he used to go to night school part-time to subsidize his family. Among his students, there is no shortage of business owners who do foreign trade business. Later, when he founded the Yellow Pages in China, the country did not know much about the Internet, so many people were suspicious, and it was the business owners he knew who made his first few businesses.
After all, a person's power is limited, but when you have a high-quality network, the situation is completely different. Your field of vision will be broader and you will get more information. If you want to do something, your friends can also give you advice and help. When you're surrounded by successful people, are you still far from success? Therefore, the poorer people are, the more they should invest in their networks.
Why do the big guys emphasize learning? Ma has predicted that 50% of jobs now may disappear within the next 20 years. McKinsey has also predicted that by 2030, AI will replace 800 million jobs worldwide, especially "low-skilled workers" in manufacturing and retail who engage in repetitive manual labor.
However, when these professions are replaced, new professions are also born. Therefore, we must continue to learn and adapt to the needs of society in order not to be eliminated. It is through reading industry magazines that Li Ka-shing grasped the development trend, opened a plastic factory, and earned the first pot of gold, and since then he has never stopped learning, and still maintains the habit of reading for half an hour before going to bed.
Many people hear about learning, the first reaction is that it is too late to earn money to support their families, where is there spare money and time to talk about what to learn? In fact, there is no shortage of learning opportunities in life, you can use your time to brush videos and visit Taobao to search for materials and courses on the Internet and learn some professional knowledge and skills.
On a web full of tons of free learning resources, it doesn't cost much, what really needs to be invested is time. Isn't it more meaningful to use your spare time to achieve a better self than to waste time and stagnate?
It can be seen that learning, health and networking can be said to be three investments that are quite suitable for the poor, and they are willing to make "money" for this, which is conducive to accumulating wealth, and sooner or later it will become better and better. Do you have any different views on this?
