When a family is in decline, there are often four signs, one of which is bad.
Home is like a field, you will get melons if you sow melons, and you will get beans if you sow beans.
A family with good family traditions will prosper day by day; if the family tradition is bad, the family will decline sooner or later.
As the saying goes: “A family with four things is a busy life.” There are often four signs of declining family fortunes. Don’t ignore them and make corrections in time.
Lazy
That is to say, they are too lazy to eat and do not want to make progress.
Diligence leads to prosperity, laziness leads to failure.
As an ordinary person, without wealth to squander at will, laziness is a deadly poison.
My cousin is a small leader at a construction site. He shared such an incident with me.
There was a young couple. The man worked on the construction site, and the woman took her daughter and lived with the man at the construction site.
Her original intention is to take care of the man’s food and daily life, and at the same time supervise the man to work well and earn money.
Even in winter, the woman is still pregnant with her second child.
But men spend three days fishing and two days drying nets. They usually work for three days and have one day off.
His wife saw that he was lazy and quarreled with him every day because of his huge belly. Not only has the man not changed at all, but he has become even more unwilling to make progress.
Finally, after a quarrel, the woman packed her things and left the city.
Later I heard that they were divorced.
The man destroyed his family with his own hands just because he was lazy.
You know, a man is the backbone of a family, and whether the family can prosper in the future depends largely on the man.
As the head of a family, if you are too lazy to eat and work every day, the family will not prosper.
comfortable
That is to be content with the status quo and wait for work.
There is an old saying: “Sorrow and hard work can rejuvenate a country, but leisure can destroy one’s life.”
Comfort is the biggest enemy in life.
This era is so beautiful. We can live in our world and enjoy ourselves in the moment.
There is no need to worry about three meals a day, and there is no need to travel thousands of miles to read thousands of books. You can also dream about galloping horses and singing songs while drinking.
But the times are developing too fast. When everyone is making progress, if you are the only one who stops moving forward, you are going backward.
If you are still immersed in comfort, what will you do to fight against impermanence when danger comes?
“Heaven moves vigorously, and a gentleman strives to strive for self-improvement constantly.”
Everyone wants their family to prosper, and wise people know how to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
luxury
That is, extravagance and waste.
“If you let your descendants live in peace, they will end up drinking and having sex and ruining the family.”
If you indulge and tolerate your children and grandchildren without making progress, your children and grandchildren will definitely indulge in drinking and sex and ruin the family fortune.
The word “Easy” is used when a person fails, and the word “luxury” is used when a family fails.
There is a saying that goes well: “Building a family is like picking through dirt with a needle, and losing a family is like wading through the sand.”
Fully agree.
The prosperity of a family is like moving soil with a needle, which can be accumulated bit by bit, while waste is like a big wave rushing through loose sand, which collapses all at once.
We have been taught from childhood to adulthood that every meal on the plate is hard work.
Indeed, no matter as small as a person or a family, or as large as a country, it is inseparable from diligence and thrift.
A life of frugality and virtue is a practice.
If a family wants to be prosperous, it must have porridge and rice, and it must be remembered that it is not easy to get there; half a thread, half a thread, it must be kept in mind that material resources are difficult.
stingy
That is to say, every penny will be compared, and nothing will be plucked out.
It is a good thing for a family to be thrifty and frugal, but it is not good to be too thrifty and become stingy.
Being stingy is actually greed.
Stinginess is the external manifestation of a person’s self-isolation and indifference to others.
In “Eugenie Grandet”, Grandet is obviously very wealthy, but he is stingy. He is as addicted to money as his life, and he disowns all his relatives for the sake of money, and he doesn’t care about his feelings at all.
When he learned that his daughter had given her savings to others, he put her under house arrest and gave her only cold water and bread.
When his wife became seriously ill and couldn’t afford it, his first thought was not about his wife’s health, but the expense of seeing a doctor.
Even until his death, his last sight would be that gilded cross.
There is an old saying: “When wealth gathers, people disperse; when wealth disperses, people gather together.”
In life, being too stingy and selfish can easily cause dissatisfaction among those around you.
Only when a family is willing to give up money can it gather people’s hearts, its network of people will become wider and wider, and its future path will become wider and wider.
No matter what era, family tradition is the foundation for the rise and fall of a family.
With a good family tradition, no matter how poor you are, you can make a fortune; if you have a bad family tradition, no matter how rich you are, you can lose everything.
A family is like a big tree. If you want it to have deep roots and flourish, you must pay attention to every detail.
