People are inferior to people.

Li Xiaolai confirmed a concept in The Road to Wealth and Freedom, "What are values? Values are knowing what is good, what is better and what is the best. " Personally, I think it is very useful, intuitive and grounded, and I have been adhering to this principle to adjust my values since then.

Today, I want to talk about "content" and "content with the status quo". The literal meaning is easy to understand, even as simple as "content = content with the status quo" or "dissatisfaction = dissatisfaction with the status quo".

But there is also a saying that people should know how to be content, but they can't be content with the status quo, which is contradictory but not contradictory. Sometimes I can't help falling into this contradiction: for the current state of life, having a house, a car, a stable income, and a hot wife and children, isn't this the winner in life? I should be satisfied. If I am not satisfied with this situation, what should I be? Aren't you mad at yourself for beating your chest and feet at all kinds of successful people all day? At this point, we have to talk about values.

There is a room, what room, and how big the room can be met, which varies from person to person;

If you have a car, Li Xia or BMW, how expensive can you satisfy? It varies from person to person.

The income is stable, so is 3000, and so is 10000+. How much is enough also varies from person to person;

As for your wife and children, do you dare to be uneasy about the status quo?

As the old saying goes, it is better to look back than to look forward. Anyway, it just doesn't tell us whether people should look forward or backward. We have to think for ourselves. The premise of this kind of thinking is the question of values. What do you think is good (important), what is better (important) and what is best (important) is not influenced by others.

Take me for example, the house 100 square meter. At present, a family of three is completely enough. Our 18th line town is far from the school district. Anyway, it doesn't matter where you live. I think it's already good. I must satisfy this situation.

For thousands of families, cars are economical. I'm not afraid of your jokes. I don't think anyone's car is as comfortable as mine and can meet my various needs. I am very satisfied with this situation. My current values on cars are "I won't buy a good car if I have money", which I think is a waste of resources. Maybe this is the condition now, and we'll see if we can control ourselves when we really have money.

Let's talk about the most important income first. This question is really difficult. How much is enough? The so-called freedom of wealth does not stipulate how much money is considered freedom of wealth. It just emphasizes that if you can meet the needs of life without selling your time and labor, it is wealth freedom, that is, you can work without money. Of course, I still have a long way to go from wealth and freedom, but this does not prevent me from feeling satisfied. My annual income is about 10W, so it is no problem to meet the basic expenses of my family. I still have some savings without affecting my quality of life, at least I don't have to make money every day.

I'm not advocating that people should be content with the status quo. I just want to say that one person lives and one person lives. Some people were born at your end. Whether I am good at fortune telling or content with the status quo depends entirely on my inner values. Never go with the flow, lest you lose your life and never return.

I can't leave, I'm weak. Looking back, people are not as good as you, and you are better than many people. Self-expansion, who do you love, look forward, you are not as good as people, and you are still far behind.
