Why are you poor?

Many people think they are poor, but they never think about how they became poor. What are the causes of poverty? If a person wants to correct his own shortcomings, but he doesn't know what his own shortcomings are, he can't change them. Let's analyze the reasons why people are poor.

I don't know why I am poor.

Many people think they are poor, but they have never seriously analyzed why they are poor. How do the rich get rich? They don't know why they are poor.

Just like a person going to the hospital to see a doctor, when the doctor asks: Do you have a headache? ? He replied:? I don't know? Ask again:? Abdominal pain? I don't know. Leg pain? Don't you know? Doctors treat headache and leg pain. He doesn't even know what's wrong with him, and the doctor can't help it.

If a person doesn't know the reason of his poverty, it's hard for him to change!

Second, lack of confidence.

Many people never thought that they could be rich, and they never believed that they could be rich. What you don't want won't be done, and what you don't do will naturally have no result. Bacon said: If a person loses money, he loses his life1/4; If he loses his friend, he loses his life1/2; If he loses confidence, he loses everything!

The important thing is that if a person has no self-confidence, even if the opportunity comes, he will miss the opportunity because of his lack of self-confidence, but a person's success is often contained in the opportunity.

Maybe they once had a dream, but they were crushed by failure in the process of pursuing their dreams. They lost their edges and corners, their fighting spirit and their spirit. However, they all have a grandiose excuse, blaming their own failure on their bad lives and thinking that others' success is predestined.

Third, complain about fate.

Such people are everywhere around us. They think everything in life is natural, so don't be forced if you don't bump into them.

In fact, fate is composed of two words. People are born: Where were you born? Who is growing up? What kind of primary school do you go to? What kind of middle school or university do you go to? Even get a job? This may not be your own decision, this is called fate. Fate comes by itself. In which direction, how and what kind of life should we live? What kind of person do you want to be? This can be achieved by our own efforts the day after tomorrow, and the combination of the two is called fate!

Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the first Japanese man, met a fortune teller while playing with children when he was young. The fate of other children is very good. When it was Toyotomi Hideyoshi's turn, the fortune teller looked at his left hand and said to him, I can tell by your left hand that you will accomplish nothing in the future! ? Toyotomi Hideyoshi was very angry when he heard this. He took a knife out of his pocket and pointed it at his left hand. Swish swish swish is just a few knives. Then he said to the fortune teller, Look at this hand again! ? If you don't bow to fate, fate will bow to you! In this world, the brave will win, and it will always be a narrow road!

Fourth, there is no goal worth fighting for.

These people are not in a hurry to succeed, but they can't find a direction worthy of their own efforts. These people are still at the stage where they want to succeed but don't know how to succeed. In fact, they have never carefully planned their own lives, and they have never carefully designed their own lives.

Harvard University in the United States conducted a follow-up survey on the students who graduated from this school. After more than 20 years, it was found that 3% of them became top successful people, including members of parliament, governors and presidents, bosses and chairmen of large consortia; 17% became senior white-collar workers; 70% became senior doctors, lawyers and general managers; and 10% survived.

The survey results show that 3% people are not necessarily the best learners, while 10% people are the best learners in the school. What is the reason? Later, it was found that these 3% people had a very clear goal, wrote it down, and then worked hard towards it. 17% people have goals and are working towards them, but they haven't written them down, but laziness is human instinct. When they can't see the goal, people will covet enjoyment instead of pursuing it. They still have something to pursue anyway. And 70% of people only know how to work hard and have no goal to pursue. 10% people didn't even try.

This shows how important goals are to a person's success! Targets are like archery targets. You can't hit the target with a goal, and you can't hit the target without a goal!

We can go back and do an experiment and ask our friends: Do you have any goals this year? This question is too professional. You can ask in another way: Do you have any plans for this year? ) Do you know what the result is? There must be 80% people who answer: what goal? What's the plan? No goals, no plans. Ha ha! Do you know why they are poor?

Fifth, there is no long-term vision

Too many people want to make cash and get quick success, but they never work hard for the future. In fact, we should learn from the eagle: fly high, see far and choose a wide range. Never look at the food in front of you like a chicken. A reporter from Forbes magazine interviewed Bill Gates. Why are you the richest man in the world and not others? ? Bill Gates replied:? As entrepreneurs and bosses, we must first have knowledge, connections and marketing ability.

Many bosses have knowledge, connections and marketing skills. Unlike them, I have a better eye. ? Bill Gates saw the future development trend as early as 30 years ago. At that time, the computer was as big as a room, but he believed that there would be a small computer on the desk in the future, and people would constantly update their software after buying the computer. He dropped out of Harvard University and founded today's Microsoft. He saw today's achievements 30 years ago, and he has been working hard in this direction. Now people have Microsoft software in their computers. Do you think he can become the richest man in the world?

If you want to learn to play table tennis, you'd better learn from Deng Yaping. If you want to be rich, you must learn from the richest people.

Sixth, laziness

Laziness is the biggest natural enemy of success! Many people are unsuccessful because success is against human nature, and human nature is lazy. You can't be lazy if you want to succeed. Human nature is selfish, and success will benefit people; It is human nature to consider one's feelings. To succeed, they must care more about others, understand others and think less about themselves. Humanity needs to be respected. If you want to succeed, you must learn to respect others. It can be said that people who are lazy, selfish and always think about themselves and don't care about others will certainly embrace poverty! There is a saying: poor people must have something hateful! Because I did a lot of hateful things in the early stage, there will be retribution in the later stage. What seeds are planted will have results, and every cause will have results!

All human behaviors follow two principles: 1 and the pursuit of happiness. 2. avoid pain.

Therefore, if you want to succeed, you have to do things that go against people's instinct, delay enjoyment and suffer losses. When God created man, he was given two instincts: desire and laziness. When laziness is greater than desire, he will not act. Where can there be results without action? When desire is greater than inertia, we will pursue and act. When we act to a certain extent, success will naturally come.

God has prepared a cup of bitter wine and countless wines for people's lives, but if you want to drink the wine, you must finish it first. Some people feel bitter when they drink bitter wine. They are escaping from pain, but they have to spend their whole lives slowly tasting this bitter wine, so suffering will accompany them all their lives! Only a few people understand this truth. They finish this cup of bitter wine in a short time, and then they have time to fully enjoy the wine!

Seven, miss the opportunity

Wise people create opportunities, brave people seize opportunities, weak people wait for opportunities, and fools give up opportunities. People often say that man proposes and God disposes. In other words, success needs the right time, place and people. This day is actually an opportunity given by heaven, and success is inseparable from opportunity.

There is a devout Christian who prays every day after getting up, eating and going to bed. One day, there was a flood in his hometown and he was washed into the flood. He believes that God will come to save him. A man floated up with wood in his arms and said to him, Come on, hold the wood with me and float to the other side, so that we will be safe. ? He said:? Don't worry. God will save me. ? The man with the wood escaped by himself. After a while, a boat rowed over, and many people on board said to him, Grab the boat, and we will pull you up, and you will be safe. ?

He added:? Don't worry. God will save me. ? These people have to paddle, and the water is getting bigger and bigger. He was about to be swept away by the flood when a helicopter saw him in the sky. The pilot lowered the cable and let him reach for it. He said: Don't worry. God will save me. ?

The helicopter had no choice but to save others. A big wave came and knocked him over. He drowned. He is very dissatisfied with God. He found God and asked, I am so pious to you, why didn't you help me at my critical moment? ? God said: I saved you. The first time I asked someone to help you with wood, you didn't have to. The second time I asked someone to row a boat to save you, you didn't have to. The third time I sent a helicopter to save you, you could be saved just by reaching out, but you didn't even reach out! ?

See how many opportunities we missed? Stall in the 1980s, stock trading in the early 1990s, and going into the sea? But there are not many opportunities in everyone's life. Why can't we catch them? That's because we don't know what an opportunity is and what an opportunity is. The opportunity is that when something comes, 80%-90% of it is against it, and the future development trend of this thing must be upward! Why don't we understand opportunities? That is, our ideas are at work, and we always look at things from the past. Why are Wenzhou people so powerful? They have a slogan: As soon as the concept is updated, gold is everywhere! ?

Eight, there is no good interpersonal relationship

Many people like to close themselves up, and their wives and children are eager to pursue family happiness. This is understandable, but in the long run, it will make them develop the habit of coveting ease, eventually lose their fighting spirit and lead a dull life. On the other hand, those who have good interpersonal relationships are exquisite in all aspects, like a duck to water, and their lives are very tasty.

China success master Chen Anzhi once said: Success equals knowledge and contacts! Knowledge accounts for 30% of success, contacts account for 70% of success, and contacts are the pulse of money! 2 1 century is the era of emotional intelligence (EQ) winning. Emotional intelligence is the ability to communicate with people and control emotions. The era of winning by IQ alone has passed, and we have seen too many talented poor people. People with high IQ often ignore the importance of interpersonal relationships. They conquer the world by themselves, but the rich people in this world are all rich by others! Success begins with yourself, and success depends on everyone's help.

Therefore, people who are eager for success should consciously establish interpersonal relationships from now on, instead of passively knowing people!

Nine, the direction is not correct

We have all heard the saying that hard work makes you rich. But the Chinese nation is a hardworking nation. Why are so many hardworking people not rich? Why do some people earn 10 times, 100 times and 1000 times more than us when we work eight hours? Are they so many times smarter than us? Don't! That's because they don't do what we do, and they know a lot of secrets that we don't know! Therefore, efforts alone are not enough. Before you work hard, you should add the right direction. If the direction is wrong, effort is a trap, because once you get used to it, it is difficult to change. But hard work is a necessary condition for success, it is a must! Let's look at the terrible power of habit:

This is the story told by Rockefeller, the first oil billionaire in the United States, to his son: A long time ago, there was a village where residents lived in peace, but a war made them flee their homes and parted ways, and the pigs in the village were scattered everywhere. A few years later, many people returned to the village, but all the pigs became wild boars. These wild boars destroyed crops and occupied farmhouses, and the villagers were disturbed by these wild boars for a day.

Later, after discussion, everyone decided to organize a hunting party to destroy these hateful wild boars. But these wild boars are so cunning that they run away without waiting for anyone to come near. Just when people were at a loss, an elder in the village surrounded these wild boars. People don't understand: we can't hit them. How can you take them alive? ? The old man smiled. It's actually quite simple. I put some food where they pass every day. At first, they were afraid of eating, but they couldn't stand the temptation of food. As time went on, they found that there was no danger. One of the more courageous pigs went to eat, and the other pigs rushed in as soon as they saw nothing.

The next day, they passed by and saw the food again, but the difference was that a wrench was set up next to the food. These pigs are afraid of any mechanism, so they dare not eat. Slowly, they found that there was no movement, and one of the bold pigs went to eat. When others saw nothing, they swarmed, so one wrench became two, three and five. . . . . Finally, a circle and a channel are formed. When all the pigs go in, I'll close the door.

See what we're surrounded by? Habit! If you want to find the right direction, you must break old habits, especially thinking habits! Because our thinking is not necessarily correct, if it is correct, then our life should also be correct.

Ten, there are no rich people around.

German writer Bodo Schaefer published a book entitled "Becoming a Millionaire in Seven Years", in which he said: The average income of the five nearest people around you is your income. Birds of a feather flock together. This is an eternal truth: forklift people must be with forklift people; Wage earners must be with wage earners; The boss must be with the boss. Different people think differently, different thinking leads to different behaviors, and different behaviors naturally produce different results.

Who will make money? Rich people certainly make money. If there are no rich people around, it's like crossing the river by feeling the stones, and even the stones can't be found.

But whether there are rich people around us is often not something we can decide. Fortunately, after these rich people succeed, no matter for what reason, perhaps for fame, perhaps because they really want to help the world, or for other reasons, they always like to write down their successful experiences for future generations to learn. They know that the money in this world is not what they can earn, and it has no influence on them, but there will be another return. This provides us with an opportunity to enter the rich circle and put their thought books! Use it to equip yourself, so that you can take fewer detours and shorten the time of success.

Onassis, the Greek ship king, was interviewed by reporters for the last time three years before his death. When the reporter asked: If you are poor again, can you get rich? ? He replied:? No problem, I will become rich again, because I will make friends with the rich. ?

The rich are full of ideas. Similarly, poor people have poor ideas! So, if you want to be rich, you should either make friends with the rich or graft their thinking into yours.

Eleven, give up easily

Many people have not tried and tried, but they were overwhelmed by the so-called difficulties and gave up. Napoleon, the originator of success? Hill wrote in his book think and grow rich. A person's life, before the arrival of success, will inevitably experience short-term setbacks, and perhaps there will be failures. When a person is knocked down by failure, the simplest and most logical thing he can do is to give up, as most people do! ? Who are most people? Poor thing!

God is interesting. When a person embarks on the road to success, he will arrange the setbacks, hardships and challenges of his life on this road, making people feel that giving up is the only choice. Once they give up, God will arrange all the difficulties in their lives. In fact, the perseverance of poor people far exceeds that of successful people, because they have to face poverty with lifelong perseverance, and they are extremely tenacious in the face of poverty and never look back.

On the other hand, those who are successful will also encounter setbacks, difficulties and challenges on their way to success. The difference is that successful people understand that persistence is victory, and they believe that things will get better one day. Once they succeed, they solve most of the problems in life and get a happy life. The difference between a winner and a loser is that the loser walked ninety-nine times and the winner walked again.

After the end of World War II, the University of Cambridge in England asked Prime Minister Churchill to give a speech to the graduates. This is the most wonderful and short speech in Churchill's life. He walked slowly onto the stage, took off his hat, coat and scarf, silently watched more than 10,000 spectators, and said forcefully: Never give up! ? There was silence in the audience. He glanced at the audience and added:? Never give up! ? Then put on your scarf, coat and hat and leave slowly. A minute later, all the teachers and students understood his words and cheered together. Never give up! Never give up! Never give up! ?

If you have a correct direction in life, if you are on the road to success, then remember this sentence: never give up! ?

Twelve, accustomed to poverty

A man wanted to know whether he would be poor in ten years, so he went to a fortune teller. The fortune teller read his palm and said to him, it's a pity that you are still poor after ten years. ? After listening to this, he felt very uncomfortable, and found a fortune teller to show him whether he would be poor in twenty years. The fortune teller looked at his birthday and said? Sorry, you are still poor after twenty years. ? Still unconvinced, I found a better fortune teller and said to him, Do you think I will be poor after 30 years? ? The fortune teller took out the divination board and said to him, You won't be poor in thirty years. ?

He was very happy and asked. Tell me, why am I not poor? ? The fortune teller said: In fact, you are still poor, but you are used to being poor and don't feel poor! ?

Look at how many people around us want to get rich, but they are content with the status quo. They are always at 2 o'clock and 1 point and never change their trajectory, but they hope to have different results. Over time, they become numb to life and do not make progress. Even though they are poor, they are used to it. Many talents are in their thirties, but they have no spirit of struggle!

There is such a tombstone in America, which reads:? The man died at the age of twenty and was buried at the age of eighty. ? That is to say, at the age of 20, this person has no enterprising spirit and only lives to be 80 years old.

Thirteen, spend money first, don't save money

These people don't want to suffer, and everyone knows that they don't suffer in the early stage of life, but they have to suffer all their lives in the later stage. Life is like a farmer farming, he has to do different things at different times. If they don't do it, it will be difficult to make up for it later. A person's success is inseparable from opportunities, but opportunities are often linked to money. How to start a business without funds?

No matter what people do, as long as they do it repeatedly, 2 1 day will form a habit, and 90 days will strengthen a habit. It is also a habit to spend money first without saving money. Once a habit is formed, it is not easy to get rid of it, and it will be very painful.

Spend money first, don't save money, and the result is that you have to borrow money if you have no money. If you often borrow money, you will lose your credit. When you lose your credit, you lose your foothold in society!

From this perspective, people are poor because they are unwilling to suffer.

Fourteen lack courage

Many people are poor because they often lack a little courage and never dare to try. Everything is difficult at the beginning? What they really need is courage and breakthrough spirit.

American biologists have done this experiment: they put a group of fleas in a glass jar and covered it with a glass cover. Fleas keep jumping up, but they will touch the lid when jumping. After a long time, fleas may know that they are going to meet, so they will stop jumping hard and fall down at a certain distance from the lid.

The scientist then moved the lid down, only to see the fleas touching the lid again. After a while, they lowered the jumping height. When scientists removed the lid, no fleas jumped out, so scientists kept lowering the height of the lid until it was near the bottom of the glass jar. When the scientist lifted the lid, he saw all the fleas crawling at the bottom and stopped jumping. Aren't they going to jump? The scientist took an alcohol lamp, put it at the bottom of the glass jar and lit it. All the fleas jumped out of the glass jar. They don't jump out because they think they can't.

Many people are not incompetent, but have no courage. They don't know that they have unlimited potential! They are imprisoned by their own ideas. Just like a fly that just wants to fly out of the room, it keeps hitting the window, but the door a few meters away from them is open. They just need to change direction and escape from the room where they are imprisoned.

Fifteen, it is a simple consumer, not an operator.

Consumers are people who take money from their own pockets, and sellers are people who put other people's money into their own pockets. It is difficult for simple consumers in this world to have money. Jews have a saying, whoever owns consumers in 2 1 century will own wealth! Bill Gates said: There are only two kinds of business in 2 1 century, 1, Internet. 2, there is no business to do. ?

All businessmen are eager to have huge consumer groups, and such consumer groups are assets, and assets are things that keep putting money into their pockets. The idea of Robert Toru Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad and Poor Dad, is this: If you want to be better than others in the future, you should devote your time, energy and wisdom to building your own assets!
