The people you envy also envy you. But you don’t believe it, and you have the illusion again and again that your life is not good enough.
When I was young, I studied hard for work; when I was working, I worked hard for money, for a house and a car; when I got rich, I worked hard for stinginess, because what I wanted was deposits.
The days pass by like water, and you become more and more anxious. After all, there are too many things that we haven’t had time to do in our lifetime.
I always think that the moon in a foreign land is rounder and bigger. When I arrived in a foreign land, I discovered an ancient poem — the moon is the brightness of my hometown. Next, life is confused and at a loss.
“Some people hope to be respected by wealth, but it only exposes their emptiness and stupidity even more.”
It is difficult for a person to obtain wealth and status. But this does not trouble us. After all, there are always more solutions than difficulties.
When wealth and status are certain, it is the most terrifying thing to surpass yourself or others.
The rose is so beautiful that we forget that it has thorns all over its body; the location is very good so that we don’t feel “too cold at high places”.
What can destroy a person happens to be what you own. Those things you never have and cannot have are like air, nourishing you.
It’s a good thing to pursue something, but if it’s in the wrong direction, it becomes a bad thing.
Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.
We gain in one thing and suffer in another. However, many people are unable to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages because they pursue too many benefits that exceed their own needs.
The word “greed” does not only appear in dignitaries and ancient people but also in every ordinary person.
Once people have a “greedy” heart, a series of disasters will arise.
The social calculation is essentially a competition for interests that originally belonged to others.
Why do people around me always plot against me? Isn’t it because when everyone makes a profit together and then distributes the benefits, they become greedy and hope to get a little more for themselves?
It’s not that there are no people who share adversities, but there are very few people who enjoy happiness together. Because in times of trouble, no one has much money, so it is not worth calculating.
The emotional calculation is the greed for beauty.
“Falling at first sight is a matter of attraction; falling in love over time is a matter of weighing the pros and cons.”
The word color means a knife on the head. In this case, it’s catchy, but it just can’t be done. After all, human nature will curb character at some point.
It’s not weird to like one person, but it’s weird to like several people and think they are all true love. When feelings cannot be distributed, the evils of jealousy and ethical violations emerge.
The source of the antagonism between brothers and sisters is the extravagant pursuit of family wealth and the partiality of parents, which is another matter.
Don’t always stress that parents’ partiality will lead to family discord. You have to look at what you have done to see if it is not generous enough. If you were a billionaire, would you still stare at the two hundred yuan in your parents’ hands?
Coveting what is in the hands of parents, and then pointing the conflict at brothers and sisters, destroys the best life support.
One of the reasons for not being filial to your parents is that you care about your own money.
If you keep saying that your parents’ retirement issues have nothing to do with you. It seems to be an emotional problem, but in fact, it is because you are reluctant to spend money.
A very poor person who has only one bun in his hand and gives half of it to his parents will move the world with his filial piety. It’s just that you don’t want to make such a move.
People who expect to save a lot will inevitably lower their quality of life.
Being stingy will increase your savings, but you will live a miserable life. What’s even more frightening is that one cannot be rich for more than three generations. Your stinginess is just a joke.
There are many harms caused by greed, the most prominent manifestations of which are wealth, lust, and status.
If you are a greedy person, please learn to stop losses and the rest of your life will still be fine.
1. Don’t try your best to restrain your desires, but grasp the direction of your life.
Moderate desire will make you more motivated. Chasing money and getting a better position are not bad things. As long as you start by improving your skills and go step by step, you will find that desires within a controllable range are wishes and can bring happiness.
The state of having no desires or pursuits is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Blind restraint will lead to falling into the routine of “pressing the gourd and lifting the ladle”, which is not advisable.
2. don’t take chances, but learn to live rationally.
If you are wrong, you are wrong, don’t quibble; if you take the initiative to admit your mistake, you can stop the loss. If you can’t get it, you can’t get it. Don’t expect too much, just take a step back.
“Don’t reach out, otherwise you will be caught.” When you are greedy, give yourself a ladle of cold water, or calm down for three minutes, and you will know what to do.
3. don’t envy others, but “seek your blessings.”
Don’t look up to others whether they are good or not. Because you are not doing badly. Today, the vast majority of people do not lack food and clothing. As long as they work hard, they will have work.
Yu Minhong once said: “Looking for hope in despair, life will eventually be glorious.”
Greed makes people despair, but as long as you look back, there is hope.
“Aesop’s Fables” says: “Some people want to get more things because of greed, but they lose what they have now.”
No matter how great the difficulty is, we can get through it. But what should you do after you get through it? That is “contentment”.
Living is not difficult, and life is not difficult either. What is difficult is “living in the moment”.
When you have nothing to do, look for happiness in the present, cherish the hardships you have experienced, and look forward to the sweetness in the future.
