Why does a person become poor? This question troubles many people. In fact, poverty is not scary. What is scary is sticking to the old rules, not thinking about making progress, and stagnating.

A person who is not willing to accept mediocrity will not stick to the present.

There is a famous saying in the Book of Changes: "If you are poor, you will change; if you are poor, you will be general; if you are general, you will be long-lasting."

The implication is that when you are exhausted, you must seek change. If you change, you will be able to Understanding will last only if you understand it.

People's thinking determines their actions. When people are in trouble, they must learn to adapt, look to the future, and even "predict the unknown", that is, broaden their horizons and treat the world with an open mind. , one day, your life will become smoother. That is, rich.

Many of the most talented and strategic historical figures in history knew how to adapt.

In the early Warring States period, seven heroes competed for hegemony. The Qin State in the West, which was despised as a barbarian by the six eastern countries, was the weakest. When Qin Xiaogong worked hard to govern and implement reforms, he recruited talents and introduced Shang Yang to implement reforms.

Although the reform offended the interests of the nobles, they met with crazy resistance and were eventually torn apart by a car and died.

But during the ten years that Shang Yang was in power, Qin's national power always surpassed the six countries. It laid a solid foundation for Qin to unify the six countries.

In order to implement reforms and win the trust of the people, Shang Yang placed a piece of wood in the downtown area and ordered: "Whoever can move the wood to the north gate will be rewarded ten golds." No one believed Shang Yang's order. , thinking he was just a farce and no one moved the wood. Shang Yang increased the reward to fifty gold. One man carried the wood to the west gate with the attitude of giving it a try, and Shang Yang cashed in the reward in full. Only then did people believe Shang Yang.

With the support of Qin Xiaogong, Shang Yang developed agriculture, established a system of prefectures and counties, and strengthened centralization of power. Later, he abandoned well fields and opened roads.

Large-scale reforms will inevitably offend the interests of the nobles and ministers, and will be fiercely opposed by them. But all this has greatly enhanced the country's strength. Restored its status as overlord.

It can be said that without the changes of Shang Yang and Qin Xiaogong, there would be no subsequent unification of Qin.

History does not tolerate such reforms, such as Wang Anshi's reform and Wu Qi's Chu State reform. Although there were successes and failures here, the environment at that time made these people realize that if there is no change, there will be no way out, if there is no change, there will be no way out, and if there is no change, the country will perish.

The truth is actually the same whether it is a country or an individual.

Rich people are all transformed through ideological transformation

In the early days of reform and opening up, everyone was very poor. Take our place as an example, everyone is poor. Not to mention, the thinking was also very rigid. At that time, everyone was reluctant to throw away their iron rice bowl. For a few years, the forestry bureau’s timber sales were not good and wages could not be paid, but many people were still reluctant to throw away their already incomplete iron rice bowl. But Zhang Xin left resolutely. He was thirty years old that year. He said: "A man can bend and stretch, and he should do something while he is alive. Instead of suffering poverty here, it is better to go to the developed areas in the south to make a career. Maybe there will be a way out." ."

Before he left, several close friends saw him off, and some people advised him not to go out and take risks.

He came back last year and met some of his friends who saw him off. Now, the Forestry Bureau is "getting better". The country has implemented the policy of returning farmland to forests, and the workers have been raised. At least the harvest is guaranteed despite droughts and floods. The salary is three to four thousand yuan.

But Zhang Xin came back in a luxury car. It's worth more than one million, which is a bit showy for him, but if he relies on his salary, he definitely can't afford such a car.

He has two houses in Shanghai. It is said that one house is worth six to seven million. Someone suggested that he sell them and return here to become a rich man.

Zhang Xin said that this is not impossible to consider.

As the saying goes, if a person moves a living tree, he will move a dead tree. If you can't survive in one place, it's a good idea to change it. Maybe, he really made a fortune!

Today’s young people are much more open-minded.

Many people never come back after passing the exam. The climate here is cold and the economy is underdeveloped. This is also the main reason for the population loss in the north.

The country has also seen these clues. In recent years, it has increased investment in the Northeast and northern Inner Mongolia, and there are more and more opportunities here.

In fact, from the bottom of my heart, I hope that young people will stay. They are educated and understand business. Only if they stay can our hometown prosper. Different from the period when commodities were scarce in the past, now we are in a state of surplus, and production and management can no longer focus on the production process. This also provides many opportunities for the north. For example, the environment here is very good, with beautiful mountains and clear waters in summer and clean and pure scenery in winter. These are all unique conditions and it is a good place for tourism.

People can definitely show their talents in this area. It’s just a change of mind.
