A person’s blessing is limited. There was more yesterday, but less today. If there is more today, there will be less in the future.

The so-called every dog will have his day.”. No one’s fortune is static. Some are good some are bad, some are strong and some are weak. This is the normal state of the world.

No one can guarantee that he will be blessed with good fortune throughout his life, and no one can guarantee that he will be prosperous throughout his life. To put it bluntly, ordinary people would be fine if they were not unlucky. How can they expect good fortune and prosperity?

Why are ordinary people so unlucky? Either he encountered a huge disaster, or his blessings were overdrawn in advance. Generally speaking, there is less of the former and more of the latter.

They can be stable for many years, but some people prefer not to enjoy one day as six days. Then can they still have 30 years of stability? It may be completely unlucky within a few years.

The root of a person’s misfortune is doing these stupid things and overdrafting his future blessings.

1. Spending future money first is the biggest short-sightedness.

A case comes to mind. A few years ago, a top student in a major Internet company died suddenly on the job.

Through the fermentation of the Internet, people learned that this person is not even thirty years old, has a mortgage of several million, and his wife is just pregnant. To make money, he had to work overtime day and night.

He believed that since he was young, his body would be able to bear it. What he didn’t expect was that his flesh and blood body still couldn’t bear the toil day and night, so he died.

Why is this man so unhappy? The root cause is that he spent future money first and overdrawn all his money for the next thirty years. This means that the pressure of the next thirty years will be concentrated on his shoulders.

People are always fragile, and they will not be able to bear the overdraft of the next thirty years. Then it is inevitable that he died suddenly, passed away early, and ended up disappointing.

People always have the illusion that they can handle anything. As the same saying goes, people need to be self-aware, do everything in moderation, and overdraw less, so that they can live longer.

2. It is foolish to overdraw the body’s energy.

As mentioned above, the young man died suddenly because he worked overtime day and night. Overdrawing the body’s energy will cause the body to deteriorate rapidly, and the probability of various accidents will be greater.

Some people would say that in today’s era of serious involution, don’t we all need to overdraw our bodies and work overtime to involution? If you don’t overdraw your body and work hard, won’t you just be eliminated?

Involution is one thing, but it is not an excuse to overdraw the body. Compared with life and death, what is involution or competition in the workplace?

If you feel that the involution in the workplace is too serious, then stop and take a good rest, or find another job. You would rather have a lower salary than overtax your body.

Overtime work can cost over a thousand dollars (most people only get a few hundred dollars). But a few hundred dollars is just a drop in the bucket compared to the medical expenses that can easily reach tens of thousands, isn’t it?

For the working class, the money earned from overtime work is not enough to pay for medical expenses. This is the naked reality of the world.

3. Not leaving room for yourself and others is short-sighted.

“Leave a thin line in life so that we can meet each other easily in the future.”

Today you are rich and he is poor. You did not bully him and chose to let him go. When he becomes rich in the future and you become poor, he will return the favor and choose to let you go.

In ancient times, it was not advisable to keep a thin line as a human being. You should eradicate the root of the enemy and kill the opponent. In modern society, we are all about civilization and laws. What we did in ancient times does not work today.

In this way, it is particularly important to “leave a line” for others. You can’t be strong for a lifetime, and he can’t be weak for a lifetime. The change of strength is inevitable. Leaving a line for others is equivalent to leaving a way out for yourself.

Don’t think about yourself, but also think about your children and future generations. If your generation bullies others, it is possible that when your generation gets older, others will take revenge and bully your children and future generations.

Whatever you do, try not to do anything wrong. Once you do it, you will never stop fighting with others. All the endless fighting will achieve no good except retribution.

4. If you use all your wisdom, future generations will suffer.

“If you are very smart, use 70%, and leave 30% for your children and grandchildren. If you use up all ten points, your children and grandchildren will be inferior to others.”

No matter how smart a generation is, just use seven percent of their smartness appropriately. There is still a third of wisdom, which might as well be left to future generations so that future generations can also be smarter and not be too mediocre.

People are not as good as a thousand days, and flowers are not as beautiful as a hundred days. After all, the strength of a family is limited. If it is not overdrawn, it can last a little longer. If it is overdrawn, it will die early.

People should have the foresight to “save only a small amount of land for future generations to cultivate. “ Our own generation must develop, and future generations must also develop. A brilliant generation is not happiness, but happiness for all generations is the truth in the world.
