Li Ka-shing tells fortune.

If you have extraordinary merits, you should be kind to extraordinary people. Success does not come from accident, but has its inevitability. "Make a good wish, make a medium fortune and enjoy the next blessing; Li Ka-shing's life creed says it all.

-Press the National Pavilion.

Li Ka-shing's office is located on the top floor of Changjiang Group Center Building, overlooking the whole Victoria Harbour.

This is one of the most mysterious offices in the world. There must be a specific security guard to swipe the password card before the elevator can arrive.

Li Ka-shing is here, in 52 countries around the world, commanding nearly one trillion dollars of wealth.

Li Ka-shing's office is neat and simple, and the most striking thing on the wall is a calligraphy, a poem written by Zuo in Wuxi Meiyuan:

"Make a good wish, make a medium fortune and enjoy the next blessing; Choose a high place to stand, find a flat place to live, and go to a wide place. "

These 24 words contain profound philosophy of life, which Li Ka-shing regards as his own life creed.

The so-called aim high, aim high, is to be ambitious. Without ambition, there is no place to stand, as Li Ka-shing said in his 20 10 speech:

"As we all know, it doesn't make much sense to be ambitious. Desiring success in a chaotic way will make you physically and mentally exhausted. Life must be determined, and we must pursue our dreams with eager efforts. "

Throughout the ages, people who have made great achievements are always ambitious.

Li Si, who just finished the class from Xunzi, told the teacher that "shame is greater than meanness, and sorrow is greater than poverty". He didn't want to be a diaosi for a long time, complaining all day and pretending to be forced. So he resolutely went to Qin to seek great development. In the end, he helped the king of Qin destroy the six countries, unify the whole country, and became prime minister.

When Premier People's Republic of China (PRC) was young, the teacher once asked in class, "Why do students study?" The students answered enthusiastically, and some said, "study for understanding." Some said, "Be an official by studying." Only the Prime Minister firmly replied: "Learn for the rise of China!"

Therefore, Zeng Guofan said: "Talents compete with each other and look at interest. Humble people are content with vulgar and vulgar rules and become more and more dirty. The highest person yearns for the road of wealth, and the sun is dying. "

When Li Ka-shing was young, his father died of illness. Before 15 years old, he suffered from lung disease, and his life and death were almost uncertain.

According to Li Ka-shing's memory, "this is the most difficult moment in my life. I told myself that I can't die, for my mother and sister-in-law, for my future. In those years, in addition to working, I was looking for books in the pile of waste books used by others to make a fire. "

Up to now, Li Ka-shing insists on reading books and learning new knowledge before going to bed every night.

It can be said that if there was no strong one in those days, there would be no Superman Li today.

Li Ka-shing's understanding of "getting married and finding a flat place to live" is: "It is not easy to associate with people of the same class and social status."

When a person is developed, it is easy to forget his friends who shared weal and woe in the past, and even more unwilling to associate with people whose social status is inferior to his own. Human feelings are cold and warm, and the world is cold, which is often the case.

As the saying goes, if you gain, you will overlap your shoulders, and if you lose, you will lose.

Chen Sheng, who shouted "Be rich and forget everything" at the beginning, was worried that his life before he got rich would be talked about after the uprising was successful, so he simply killed all his friends who plowed the land with him, leading to his centrifugal separation and death at the hands of his coachman.

Things change in temperature, people are high and low, but Li Ka-shing can get rid of the shackles of secular prejudice. Feng Lun was deeply impressed by the way he treated people.

Feng Lun recalled Li Ka-shing in the article "See how Li Ka-shing invites people to dinner":

I was lucky enough to book a table with my eldest brother (Li Ka-shing). At that time, I thought, my eldest brother and I are close, and we can talk for a while after dinner, so we didn't talk in such a hurry at first. Unexpectedly, after eating for more than ten minutes, my eldest brother stood up and said sorry and sat there.

At this time, we found four tables, each with a pair of chopsticks, and he sat at each table.

During the one-hour meal, he sat at four tables in turn, almost all of which were 15 minutes. By this time, everyone was moved by the thoughtful and meticulous arrangement of Big Brother.

After the end, he didn't go first, but shook hands with everyone. Everyone present had to hold hands. There was a waiter standing in the corner, and the eldest brother went over to shake hands with him.

People of different classes can only be strong and win more respect for themselves if they have moderate wealth and find flat accommodation.

All mortals have a tendency to "love leisure and hate labor", so "enjoy the lower class and be tolerant of it" is diligence.

Sima Guang, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, warned his son Sima Kang: "It is human nature to go from frugality to extravagance and from extravagance to frugality." It is difficult to maintain frugal living habits after being rich.

The word "thrift" is also the focus of Zeng Guofan's family training. He said: "The sages and heroes of the past dynasties, that is, the adulterers who want to stand in the world, are nothing more than a diligent word." "Luxury is frugal, and shun is natural. The way to live at home, but it can last for a long time. "

In the eyes of ordinary people, even if Li Ka-shing is worth tens of billions of dollars, it should be taken for granted. However, Li sticks to the habit of thrift.

As the richest man, Li Ka-shing lived a Puritan life, and Li Ka-shing's socks were invisible because they were mended many times.

The pair of black-rimmed glasses worn by Li Ka-shing has not been changed since 1972 Cheung Kong listed press conference. He prefers to show others the suits and shoes he has worn for decades rather than his successful career.

Enjoy the next kind of blessings and be lenient. Only in this way can we make up for shortcomings with diligence and cultivate ourselves with thrift.

If you have extraordinary merits, you should be kind to extraordinary people. "Make a good wish, make a medium fortune and enjoy the next blessing; Choose a high place to stand, find a flat place to live and walk wide. " This is how Li was tempered.
