The Road to Wealth and Freedom: Courage, the Right Path, and the "Crooked Path"

#我来唠家常#

Opening Song:

The dream of wealth and freedom comes to sleep every night;

Courage is almost there, and opportunities always slip away.

Others are afraid of evaluation, and conscience is blamed;

I dare not take the right path, and I hesitate to take the wrong path.

Life is not improving, when will you be able to get ahead?

1. Courage is a stepping stone to wealth

Wealth and freedom are what many people dream of, but why is there always a little bit of courage? Courage is not innate, but needs to be cultivated. Just as planting flowers requires watering and fertilizing, courage also requires us to keep trying and exercising.

When it comes to courage, one celebrity who has to be mentioned is Steve Jobs. He dared to experiment with different fonts, designs, and finally created a unique Apple product. If he had given up because he was afraid of failure and worried about the evaluation of others, then we may not see the apple logo that we took a bite of today.

Famous quote: Steve Jobs once said, "Stay hungry, stay foolish." (Keep hungry, stay stupid.) This is actually a manifestation of courage, daring to pursue, daring to try, not afraid of failure, not afraid of ridicule.

2. Is it really that important what others say?

Many people are afraid of other people's evaluations and fear of being accused of having no conscience. But if you think about it, is it really that important what others say? We can't give up our dreams and pursuits just because of a few words from others.

In ancient times, Tao Yuanming "did not bend his waist for five buckets of rice", and he was unwilling to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, so he resigned angrily and returned to the countryside. If he had changed his original intention because of the evaluation and accusations of others, then we may not see those popular idylls today.

Famous sayings: Tao Yuanming wrote in "Words of Return": "When will you be in the middle of the world?" This is a manifestation of not being afraid of others' evaluation and insisting on self-pursuit.

3. The Right Way and the "Crooked Way"

Some people are afraid to take the road that does not seem to be the right path, and think that giving gifts and engaging in relationships are crooked ways. But as everyone knows, sometimes these so-called "crooked ways" are the shortcut to success. Of course, this is not to encourage everyone to take the wrong path, but to learn to be flexible and be good at seizing opportunities.

For example, Jack Ma. At the beginning of his establishment of Alibaba, in order to promote his website, he did not hesitate to be called a "liar" and "crazy". He traveled around, gave gifts, and made connections, and eventually succeeded in taking Alibaba to the world. If he had given up these "crooked ways" because he was afraid of accusations and misunderstandings from others, then Alibaba today may be a different scene.

Famous quote: Jack Ma once said: "Today is cruel, tomorrow is even more cruel, the day after tomorrow is beautiful, but the vast majority of people will die tomorrow night." "This tells us that success requires courage, flexibility, and perseverance.

4. Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared

A lot of people always complain about the lack of chance, the lack of luck. But as everyone knows, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. It's only when you're working hard hard and good enough that opportunities come to you naturally.

Warren Buffett, a man known as the "stock god". The reason why he has been able to stand tall in the investment world is not only due to luck and talent, but also his hard work and accumulation over the years. He is good at seizing opportunities and taking risks, but more importantly he has a wealth of knowledge and experience to back it up.

Quote: Warren Buffett's quote: "Risk comes from not knowing what you're doing." "This tells us that only when you know enough and are prepared enough can you seize opportunities and avoid risks.

5. Life needs a little "crooked"

Life is always full of unknowns and uncertainties, and sometimes following the so-called right path step by step may not be able to get the results you want. At this time, maybe you need a little "crooked ways" to break the routine and break through the predicament.

Picasso, an artist who dared to challenge the traditional notion of painting. His paintings are full of innovation and imagination that make people shine. He never sticks to traditional painting techniques when creating his works, but dares to try new methods and styles. This innovative spirit of "crooked ways" has made his paintings classics in the history of art.

Famous quote: Picasso once said, "I spent my whole life learning to draw like a child." This tells us that sometimes "crooked ways" are not a bad thing, but they can make us look at problems from different angles and discover new possibilities.

6. Conscience and wealth are not in conflict

Many people fear that the pursuit of wealth will be accused of having no conscience. But in fact, conscience is not in conflict with wealth. As long as you create wealth through your own efforts and wisdom, then there is nothing to feel guilty about.

For example, Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook. He started Facebook with the ambition of "making the world more open." While pursuing wealth, he always sticks to his conscience and principles, and is committed to making more contributions to society. Today, he is not only one of the world's youngest billionaires, but also a highly respected social entrepreneur.

Quote: Zuckerberg once said, "Our greatest responsibility is to serve our users well, and if we can do that, then everything else will fall into place." This tells us not to forget our original intentions and principles in the pursuit of wealth.

7. Courage is the patron saint of wealth

When you have wealth, you need courage to protect it. Many people lose their wealth and opportunities because of a lack of courage. Only when you have enough courage to face challenges and difficulties can you truly protect your wealth.

Li Ka-shing, for example, made a decisive move to acquire a series of undervalued assets during the Asian financial crisis, and finally succeeded in pushing his business to new heights. If he had given up these opportunities because he was afraid of failure or worried about what others would say, he might not be able to achieve so much today.

Famous saying: Li Ka-shing once said: "Breaking an egg from the outside is food, and breaking it from the inside is life." This tells us that in the process of protecting wealth, we need to have the courage and determination to break through ourselves and overcome difficulties.

8. "Saving the country with a curve" on the road to wealth

Who says the road to wealth has to be a straight line? Sometimes, those winding paths can lead you to unexpected destinations. It's like a "curve to save the country" in life, take a turn, maybe you will find a new world.

Rockefeller, an American oil tycoon, his path to success was not all smooth sailing. In the early days, he tried many different areas of business, but all of them failed. However, he did not give up because of this, and chose a path that seemed to have nothing to do with oil. Eventually, the path led him to the oil industry and his empire of wealth.

Rockefeller once said, "If you strip me penniless and leave me in the middle of the desert, I can rebuild the whole dynasty with a caravan passing by." This tells us that even in the face of adversity and failure, as long as we maintain courage and wisdom and choose the right path, we can still move towards success.

9. "Off-the-beaten-path" techniques to seize opportunities

Opportunities are often hidden in those inconspicuous corners, waiting to be discovered. Sometimes, some seemingly inconspicuous "off-the-beaten-path" skills can become the key to seizing opportunities.

For example, Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi Technology. He is well versed in Internet marketing, and through social media, fan interaction and other "sideways" skills, he has successfully built Xiaomi into a high-profile brand. These skills may not be worth mentioning in the eyes of traditional marketing, but in the hands of Lei Jun, they have become a weapon to seize opportunities.

Famous saying: Lei Jun once said: "Standing on the tuyere, pigs can fly." "This tells us that with the right skills and methods, we can find great value in even the seemingly humble opportunities.

10. Stick to your principles, and wealth will come naturally

In the pursuit of wealth, many people tend to lose themselves and give up their principles. However, true financial freedom is not unprincipled indulgence, but the realization of self-worth on the basis of sticking to principles.

Warren Buffett is once again a role model for us. He has always adhered to his investment principles and never changed his investment strategy due to short-term fluctuations in the market. It is this spirit of principled spirit that has allowed him to achieve remarkable achievements in the field of investment.

Warren Buffett once said, "The first rule of investing is not to lose money, and the second rule is to never forget the first one." This tells us that in the pursuit of wealth, we must stick to our principles and values.

11. Innovative thinking to break the shackles of wealth

After walking on the road of wealth for a long time, we are easily bound by some preconceived notions and thinking. At this time, we need to use innovative thinking to break these shackles and open up new horizons.

For example, Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla, has led the development of electric vehicles and space exploration with innovative thinking. He is not satisfied with the status quo and has the courage to challenge conventional ideas, and it is this innovative spirit that has made him a leader in the new era.

Famous quote: Musk once said: "I think it is possible for ordinary people to choose to be extraordinary." "This encourages us to use innovative thinking to challenge ourselves and aim higher.

12. Balance the inside and outside, and the wealth life is more fulfilling

In the process of pursuing wealth, we should not only pay attention to external achievements and gains, but also pay attention to inner balance and satisfaction. Only by cultivating both internally and externally can we have a truly fulfilling life of wealth.

For example, Oprah Winfrey is not only a famous American talk show host and billionaire, but also a philanthropist who is enthusiastic about public welfare and pays attention to vulnerable groups. She pursues external success while never forgetting the kindness and sense of responsibility on her heart, and it is this balance that makes her life more fulfilling and fulfilling.

Famous quote: Oprah once said, "Your greatest adventure is to live the life of your dreams." "This encourages us to pay attention to our inner needs and dreams while pursuing wealth, so as to achieve a fulfilling life both internally and externally.

Closing Song:

The road to wealth and freedom is long, and courage is indispensable;

"Crooked ways" are also needed in order for life to improve.
