poor mentality
As we all know, the gap between the rich and the poor in my country is gradually widening. The root cause is the uneven distribution of social resources, especially in finance, education, medical care, and urban and rural construction. Although the state has introduced a series of macro-control measures, this bad trend will only intensify at this stage . Most social resources and wealth are in the hands of a few people, and the majority of people can only fight hard before the remaining small pieces of cake.
I'm one of those who are gearing up for that little piece of cake.
I'm poor, I admit. I want to be rich, very much.
My family is just an ordinary working class. My parents were not spared in the tide of bankruptcy and closure of state-owned enterprises, and they were laid off. The reality is right in front of them. In the future, their sons will buy a house, a car, and a wife. The meager savings in their hands are simply a drop in the bucket.
My father said this to me: "I didn't think about going into the factory at first. I wanted to open a hardware store. Look at how much money the hardware store is making now."
I asked him, "Then why didn't you do it?"
"Don't you need money to open a hardware store to buy goods? Where do I get the money? Even if you take a loan, what if you lose money if you don't do it well? You have to establish a deposit and sales channel in the early stage. I have no experience at all. I can do it alone. If it fails "...it seemed that I was still at ease in the factory at the time." The father shook his head and sighed.
Two sets of keywords, in case , if ; comfort , ease .
This is a poor man's mindset, doing nothing in the first place because of the potential for negative consequences. The poor mentality is essentially a state of scarcity . Because you are poor, you have to spend a lot of time and energy in daily trivial matters, your cognition will be overloaded, and you have no way to make long-term planning and rational trade - offs; "In this way, the competition is sure to be no more than a person who has overcome difficulties outside the greenhouse, experienced ups and downs, and worked hard.
I want to make money, and I don't want to reach out to my parents for money for rent and daily expenses. The idea in my mind is how to make the money in my hand live and form a virtuous circle. For me, the barriers to entry for stocks and bonds are too high, and the risks are too great for someone like me who is not deep in the world. It is similar to gambling. So, after thinking about it again and again, I started to consciously look for a better way online.
For example, recently, I deposited my money into Alipay’s Yu’ebao with interest every day; I still insist on doing a 10% online earning project on Jinqian.com. Although it takes some time, the reward is quite high. I have always believed that efforts and rewards are in direct proportion to each other.
If you want to make money, to stand out, to climb to the top of the social pyramid, you must abandon the poor mentality. Let go of meaningless, future fears and anxieties, and a series of negative, short-sighted negative emotions.
Start with a simple thing or a habit and implement it consistently. Over time, it will give you a proportional return.
