Why are some people destined to succeed, while others are destined to work hard for money all their lives?
The neighbor Dafei opened a small supermarket, and every day he drove a second-hand van into the goods, and the lover was responsible for the cashier. Every month there is a fixed income, although it is not rich and expensive, but life is busy and fulfilling, relaxed and comfortable.
However, at a class reunion, it was found that Song Yi, a classmate whose original academic performance was not as good as his and whose economic conditions were similar to his, had not been seen for several years, and actually had tens of millions of assets, drove a luxury car, and lived in a villa. This made Da Fei feel extremely disappointed and frustrated.
In fact, this kind of heartfelt truth around us really compares:
After working for a year, the salary still does not rise;
The money saved toiled could not beat inflation;
After 5 years, the dream of achieving financial freedom seems far away...
Why is all this? Isn't it good to be content with the status quo? Is it bad to pursue a stable life?
American author Harvey Ike said in his best-selling book, Rich People Don't Think Differently:
There's nothing wrong with having a stable salary, unless it prevents you from using your abilities to earn the money you deserve — the problem is that the concept of a "stable salary" often prevents you from making more money.

Harvey Ike is both a writer and a businessman. He started a business at the age of 13, accumulated a lot of wealth and was beaten back to his original form, full of debt. After thinking about it, he made a change, achieved financial freedom, and became a super-rich man.
After success, Harvey polished his stories and ideas into lessons and wrote them into books, influencing many people to change their lives by adjusting their wealth thinking, so that more people harvested the wealth and happiness they wanted.
In the book, Harvey Ike talks about the need for ordinary people to revise their own blueprints for wealth, and the seventeen ways of thinking and behaving differently between rich people and poor people, and the language is easy to understand, which stimulates people to think and reflect, and prompts people to make changes.
01 Psychological change: Draw yourself a blueprint for your wealth that "really wants to get rich"
At that time, Wanda founder Wang Jianlin's bold words of "earning it a hundred million" shocked many people's jaws.
Many people will think that a hundred million is an astronomical number that we cannot achieve in our lifetime. This is where rich people think differently, and "Rich People Don't Think Differently" says:
Your income can only grow to the extent that you can grow, and the extent to which you can grow is defined by yourself.
In short: how much wealth you can have is determined by whether you dare to think and dare to do it.
The same is a hundred million, Wang Jianlin said that it is a small goal, ordinary people feel that it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.
People with goals are running, and people without goals are wandering. Because the thinking of rich people is: I will try to do it, I will try my best to achieve this goal.
The concept of the blueprint of wealth in the book tells us that in order to create and retain wealth, we must change from the bottom of the cognition.
To use the author Harvey's implementation program, it is:
Thoughts produce feelings, feelings produce actions, and actions produce results.
Now that we know that the end result is produced by the idea, we need to know where the idea comes from. Why is it different from others? How do we change our minds and get the results we want?
What ordinary people have to do is to upgrade the blueprint of wealth in the brain, and from the idea, do not regard wealth as an unattainable thing.

What are the ways to change this?
First, modify the language pattern of money, and don't think of money as the "source of all evil."
When you carefully recall your childhood, do you often hear the words "rich people are very angry, rich people can make ghosts push and grind, and people are poor and short-minded"?
These languages all give money a negative label, possibly from parents or friends and family. They subtly make us hostile to money, thus weakening our desire for money and the motivation to pursue wealth.
Then, from now on, we must psychologically cut off these old ideas, draw a clear line, and close the distance with money.
When you realize the myth of the language of money you take the right first step.
Second, be a long-termist and insist on reading and learning
To get rich, read first.
Ordinary people often choose to lie down easily, but rich people choose to read and study to constantly upgrade their cognition and thinking.
For example, read more classic works on wealth, take notes, and don't know how to ask and communicate with experienced friends at any time.
When you have a wealth knowledge system, you have a new understanding. With new cognition, a new concept of wealth is formed.
02 Change of thinking: Stop complaining, pay attention to opportunities, and take the initiative to control your own wealth and destiny
Rich people believe that "I create my life"; poor people believe that "life happens to me".
There is a theory in psychology called "self-evident prophecy", which means that people will unconsciously act according to known prophecies and eventually make predictions happen.
For example, when he sees a particularly beautiful and luxurious villa, the poor man's idea is "this villa is too expensive, I can't afford it", then he will never be able to afford it.
The rich man thinks, "What can I do to buy this villa," and he will create all kinds of conditions for him to eventually buy it.
This is the difference between the thinking of the rich and the thinking of the poor, which causes the event to develop in different directions.
Rich people always believe that only they can create their own success, and only they can cause their own mediocrity. Whatever the reason, our state of life is self-inflicted and has nothing to do with others.
What ordinary people have to do is: don't complain, don't blame others, and don't make rational excuses for their actions.
Because every time you blame someone, make excuses, or complain, you're ruining your chances of getting rich.
The author Harvey clearly points out that there is no such thing as a "rich victim" under the heavens.
When we are no longer a victim and can take 100% responsibility for ourselves, the courage of "my life is in my absence" will allow you to inspire unlimited creative potential, and you are not far from wealth.

#弘丹写作成长学院创始人弘丹老师, in high school, the most troublesome homework was language, and writing was her weakness. She never imagined that she would one day go to writing and even support herself with words.
In 2015, she fell into the confusion of the workplace, began to try to write, using words to write the confusion in her heart, she never paid attention to whether her writing was beautiful, just "write down what she thinks".
In 2016, after continuing to create hundreds of thousands of words, she became a contracted author of Jianshu. In the next three years, 2 more best-selling books were published.
Teacher Hongdan often said:
Be convinced that you have unlimited writing potential. Because only when you truly believe that you have unlimited potential, will you think, will find a way to achieve your goals, will you act, and work hard to confirm this statement.
It is this kind of creative rich thinking that allows Hongdan teacher to write millions of words in 7 years, publish 3 books, and create a 10,000-person paid writing community "Hongdan Writing Growth Academy".
She relied on writing to achieve wealth freedom and truly counterattack life.
As written in "The Fantastic Journey of the Shepherd Boy": When you want something, the whole world will work together to help you achieve it.
03 Behavior Change: See an opportunity and act now
We often say, "If you understand a lot of truths, you still can't live this life well."
Knowing and doing are two different things, just as "the desire to succeed" and "actually succeed" are two worlds.
Most people aspire to be rich, but have we put into action to achieve this goal?
Not really.
Another important point in the book's description of the thinking of rich people is that if you have a feeling, you see an opportunity, you must act immediately.
In the TV series "Big Rivers and Great Rivers", the individual entrepreneur Yang Tour lives in a village of general poverty, and it is difficult to usher in reform and opening up, many people are eager to try to get rid of poverty, but few people really take action.

Although Yang Tour was born poor, he dared to act. See an opportunity, go on it right away.
He exchanged the family's surplus steamed buns for eggs, and then sold the eggs to make the difference. Every day, he crossed several mountainous areas to do the business of exchanging steamed bread for eggs, and harvested the first bucket of gold in his life.
In other villagers' homes, there are actually excess agricultural products that can be exchanged for valuable things, but they feel that the market is far away, and they are worried about what to do if things cannot be sold.
As a result, these people turn the immediate risk into an obstacle to getting rich.
On closer reflection, each of us may have had an opportunity to get rich, but why do most people miss it?
Because opportunity is not as easy as pie in the sky, and opportunity is often accompanied by risk.
Faced with a risky but also rewarding thing, ordinary people only see "risk" and "failure".
And the rich people see the opportunity, is "as long as there is a chance to succeed, I am willing to try", and then do while making corrections.
For Yang Tour, he and the villagers face the same risk, but he sees the positive side, first acting, overcoming suffering and actively seeking the market, and then discovering business opportunities and accumulating wealth little by little.
In this world, there is never 100% adequate preparation, and completion is more important than perfection.
As this book tells us:
The more active you are, the easier it is for you to get the favor of fate, and the braver you are, the more likely you are to be one step closer to wealth.
Write at the end
Being rich is a state, being rich is a goal.
Let's hint to ourselves from now on: I have a rich man's head.
Boldly step out of your comfort zone, paint a blueprint for your own wealth, and look at money with a more positive and loving eye.
Put away your inferiority, stop complaining, and take the initiative!
May we all upgrade the wealth blueprint in our minds through continuous learning and growth, and use positive and effective actions to eventually transform into golden fruits.
