If you are not afraid of the long way, you are afraid of short-sightedness.
Writer Liu Run said: Behind the money, there is the pattern.
Many times, a person does not make money, not because he does not work hard, but because the pattern is too small.
Enlarge the pattern, improve your vision, cognition, and mind.
At this time, making money is just a natural result.
01
Breadth of vision
We often say that luck is part of strength.
Many times, if a person has limited vision, even if luck comes to the side, he can't catch it.
The wider the horizon, the stronger the ability to seize opportunities.
The ancient book saint Wang Xizhi once exchanged the calligraphy "Yellow Court Sutra" for a white goose.
For thousands of years, it has been a good story.
Qi Baishi had a whim one day and wanted to emulate Wang Xizhi.
I heard a vendor outside the door shouting to sell cabbage, so I drew a cabbage on paper and went outside to find the vendor.
When the vendor saw Qi Baishi, he hurriedly greeted him.
Qi Baishi said: "How about I take this painted cabbage and exchange it for a cart of cabbage for you?" ”
When the vendor heard this, he thought that he had heard something wrong, and then reacted: "Take a fake cabbage with a picture, and exchange it for a cart of real cabbage for me, think beautiful!" If it weren't for your age, I would have beaten you. ”
Qi Baishi had to walk away in ashes.
Later, the vendor learned that this old man was Qi Baishi, and this painting could probably buy tens of thousands of cars of cabbage.
His intestines were repentant, but there was no such opportunity.
A person's vision determines his luck.
God cares for everyone the same.
What is different is that some people recognize it, seize the opportunity, and soar into the sky.
Some people let the opportunity slip away in vain, and sighed in vain.
Broaden your horizons, read more, travel more, think more.
Only by being well-informed can we accurately seize opportunities and seize the gift of destiny.
02
The depth of thinking
Life is like playing chess.
Some people, step by step, look at each step, such people have shallow eyes, most of them are smelly chess baskets.
Some people, taking one step to see three steps, have an accurate grasp and judgment of the future situation, such talents are masters.
Zhang Yong, a famous minister of the Song Dynasty, served in Chongyang as a county.
Chongyang has many mountainous areas and is a well-known tea country, and the locals grow tea as a business.
In ancient times, tea was not only a rigid product, but also a profiteering industry.
At that time, the imperial court was short of money and food, and Zhang Yong judged that the imperial court officials must have the idea of making tea.
At that time, the tea business in the county will definitely be affected.
So he ordered that all the people in the county should plant mulberry trees.
The locals did not know why, and scolded Zhang Yong for doing wrongdoing.
Two years later, the imperial court began to implement a tea monopoly, and the people of other counties cut off their livelihoods.
The mulberry trees in Chongyang County have grown, and the people raise silkworms and weave silk, producing millions of horses a year, and their lives are becoming more and more prosperous.
Yuan Yiming said: The depth of thinking determines the thickness of making money.
Making money tests one's vision and also tests one's mind.
Deep understanding and judgment of things can make people get a head start in the competition.
People who spend a second seeing through the essence of things are destined to be different from people who spend their whole lives not seeing the essence of things.
Only by improving the depth of thinking can we open the door to wealth.
03
The thickness of character
The ancients said, "He who is virtuous and rich takes advantage of the power of wealth and goods; Those who are virtuous and rich take advantage of the power of wealth and cripple. ”
Virtuous people have wealth that is beneficial to all things in heaven and earth, and people without virtue who have wealth can only harm themselves.
Virtue is the foundation of wealth.
Only when a person's character passes the threshold can he match the corresponding wealth.
Yang Zhan, the father of Yang Bo, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, used to do business in Yangzhou.
At that time, there was a salt merchant in Guan, who deposited 1,000 gold in Yang Zhan's house and asked him to keep it for him.
Who would have thought that after the salt merchant left, he never came back.
Yang Zhan guessed that he might have encountered an accident on the road, so he sent someone to Guanzhong to look for it.
Later, when he found the salt merchant, he found that the salt merchant had died, so he invited the merchant's son to his home.
Return this thousand gold to the son of the salt merchant in person.
Since then, the merchant's son has regarded the Yang family as his most trusted business partner.
With the cooperation between the two companies, the Yang family's business territory has also been greatly expanded.
A person looks rich on the outside, but in fact he has virtue on the inside.
Wealth is a wounding blade, and virtue is a talisman.
All wealth needs to be carried by a high enough character.
Only by constantly practicing oneself and improving one's virtues can one earn wealth and control wealth.
04
The breadth of the heart
Chinese often said: Harmony breeds wealth.
In the face of entanglement of interests and wealth distribution, it is easy for conflicts to arise between people.
At this time, being able to tolerate people, forgive people, and be harmonious can a person be favored by financial luck.
During the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, a wealthy merchant opened an inn in the capital.
Because the inn is opened in a prime location, customers come to the door every day, and they make money every day.
The treasurer of this inn saw that the business was so prosperous, and he treated the guests more and more.
One day, a child smashed a vase in the store, and the treasurer was so furious that he had to pay the child ten taels of silver.
People around you say forget it, don't worry about the child, he didn't mean it.
The dispenser is still unforgiving.
In the end, the child's parents took the money and took the child back.
Since then, the rat belly chicken intestines of this treasurer have spread in the capital.
Since then, everyone has been reluctant to come to the door, and the business in the store has slowly turned yellow.
In "Vegetable Root Tan", it is said: Those who have qi and warm hearts are also blessed and long.
Treat others with kindness and generosity, and the blessings that such people will receive will be abundant.
If you can spare people, you will spare people.
Mistakes are forgiving, difficulties are tolerant, and a person can make a lot of money and receive blessings.
05
The height of the target
In the Analects, it is said: Take from above, get from it; Take from it, get from below; If you take it from below, you will not gain anything.
A person who sets a high goal may end up with a moderate result.
If a medium goal is set, only a low level can be reached in the end.
If you set a very low goal, you will end up with nothing.
The mountain is high and there is a climbing head, and the road is far away.
The goal is set higher and the ambition is bigger, so that a person can achieve something and gain something.
In the winter of 1862, heavy snow in Shanxi.
Jin merchant Qiao Zhiyong wore a thick robe and went to Pingyao to exchange silver.
At that time, there were many bandits and chaotic troops, and merchants carried silver on the trade road, which was very unsafe.
The efficiency of silver turnover is also low, and many merchants are miserable.
At that time, there was a ticket number called Risheng Chang, which specialized in the business of turning silver into silver tickets.
It solves the embarrassment of everyone carrying silver to do business.
But the owner of Sunrise has little ambition, only a few branches in the country, and only a few powerful big businesses do business.
Such services are not enjoyed by ordinary merchants.
Qiao Zhiyong was determined on the road to establish a ticket number and one day "connect the world", so that all business in the world is no longer difficult to do.
He successively established two ticket numbers, Dade Tong and Dade Fung.
After the blockade of the imperial court and the run of peers, it took nearly fifty years to open the ticket number business all over the country.
With one bill of exchange, all merchants can be accessed off-site.
Later generations have verified that in the history of the ticket number of the Qiao family, there has not been a single case of misexchange.
Qiao Zhiyong not only promoted the circulation of money and economic prosperity in the late Qing Dynasty, but he himself became a giant.
Wang Yangming, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, once said: If the will is not standing, like a ship without a rudder, a horse without a title, drifting and running, what is the end of it?
A person without ambition is doomed to nothing.
Only by aiming high and having a goal in mind can we find the motivation to rise up and the beacon to move forward.
If you are not afraid of the long way, you are afraid of short-sightedness.
Make a big wish, set an ambition, and no matter how far away, you will eventually arrive.

Someone once asked the famous investor Wu Jun:
"You have come into contact with so many business giants, can you find some secrets of success from them for us ordinary people to learn?"
Wu Jun answered very matter-of-factly:
"There is certainly no such thing as a special one. If there really is, everyone will do it, and it is not called a secret.
But I think back that those people did have one thing in common, which is that the pattern is unusually large. ”
In this life, accidental achievements look at luck, and inevitable achievements look at patterns.
Every penny you earn is your pattern monetization.
