Zeng Guofan said that in order to achieve great things, people seek to live in half, and Providence lives in half.
In order to achieve a great cause, human planning accounts for a part, and providence arrangements must also take part. The former is fate, while the latter is luck, which together are what we call "destiny".
In fact, something like fate, on the surface, is a vague existence, but from the overall situation of life, it is like an invisible hand, pushing us forward.
When it comes to the invisible hand, I believe that we first think of the "capital market". Why is the fate of the market also determined by the invisible hand?
In fact, the invisible hand in the capital market is the law of market operation. This law arises as soon as the market appears and there is trading behavior.
In the same way, our fate is also affected by the invisible hand. The law of fate is already predestined the moment the invisible hand appears.
You know, where to go, you really need to look at your personal ability and the rules of luck you encounter.
Generally speaking, the lives of ordinary people only look at these 3 points.
02
The first point: human life depends on the "current situation."
We often say that "the times make heroes".
Timing and momentum can create many heroes and celebrities and successful people. However, not everyone has a great time and a good result.
Take the matter of Zhuge Liang's "burning the upper valley" in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", obviously Zhuge Liang has burned Sima Yi to a different state, but why did there still be "heavy rain from heaven", so that Zhuge Liang was busy until the last empty?
From the perspective of geographical science, the gourd terrain of the upper valley, if it heats up, it will cause the terrain to rain.
From the perspective of fate, Sima Yi's fate should not be extinguished, the timing is just right, and the fate is long. And Zhuge Liang, although he had the opportunity, but could not develop the momentum, in the end could not save the end of the decline of the Han Dynasty.
Terrain is something that can also be analyzed from a scientific point of view. And the fate of this kind of thing, it is difficult to see. You know, when you should prosper, you can prosper even if you are average. When it is time for you to decay, even if you are talented, you can only die.
At this point, we can see by looking at the Qin Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, and it is the mandate of heaven to be strong and to decline.

The second point: human life depends on "network resources".
The ancients had a saying: "Those who have gained the Tao have more help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help." ”
A person, if he has a strong morality, then he will get help from the people around him. On the other hand, if this person has no morality, then he will only live more and more lonely, and finally be eliminated by the times.
It is a good thing to have the help of others and the support of noble people. But what exactly is true "morality"? I think it should be the position he is in and the trend he is in that determines his "morality".
Take the online economy and the offline economy, more than a decade ago, there were very few people engaged in e-commerce. However, when e-commerce slowly develops, there are more people participating in the e-commerce market. This is the "morality" under the development of the times.
In the midst of the general trend of history, that is the real "Tao." And against the development of history, the man will be abandoned.
Just think, everyone is a creature that seeks profit, originally born for self-interest, and who will go against the momentum of historical development?
Therefore, if you want to be popular, you have to find a good direction to develop.

The third point: human life depends on the "brain".
"The Godfather": "People who see the essence in one second and who spend half their lives and can't see the essence of a thing will naturally not be a fate." ”
Some people have to see through the essence of this world at a glance, and those who are confused all day long cannot be a fate.
Take the boss and the employee, the boss considers how to pull the relationship, how to engage in resources, how to find the backstage, how to control the subordinates, and look at human nature from a high-level perspective. Employees, on the other hand, generally only think about how to work and make money, and waste their time in creating the boss's career. This is the gap.
You ask them a question: "So-and-so project is good, do you want to try it?" ”
Employees will directly say: "How much money can the project make, if the benefits are high, then it doesn't matter if you try it." ”
And the boss knows that there is no free lunch in the world, all high returns, there are to pay and risk, so he will set out your information, and find someone to find out your bottom line, so that you have nothing to hide, before considering whether to try.
This is the difference.
Taking one step at a time, looking at ten steps with one step, this is not a realm. It can be said that the direction of fate lies in this.
