Chapter II

From ancient times to the present, the vast majority of rich people generally leave all their wealth to their descendants. However, among the rich people in the United States, there is a new fashion in recent years, that is, don't leave too much property to future generations, lest they be unhappy and become helpless. The practitioner of this fashion is the famous Microsoft founder Bill? Gates, investor Warren? Buffett.

The reason why modern rich people have such an idea may come from Ross? The lesson Chad left behind. Ross? Chad is a rich man of Babbitt's older generation. He left all his property to his son Raphael. But Raphael was found dead on a sidewalk in new york two years after he inherited his inheritance. The cause of death was heroin overdose, and he was only 23 years old.

The Carnegie Foundation of the United States once conducted a survey, and among the children who inherited more than 15, dollars, 2% gave up their jobs and indulged in eating, drinking and having fun all day until they lost everything. Others are lonely all their lives, have mental problems, or do things that violate the law and discipline.

indeed, life is between heaven and earth, and self-reliance is the most important topic in life. Mr. Tao Xingzhi, a great educator of a generation, wrote a poem well: "You are not a hero if you drop your own blood and sweat, do your own thing and rely on Laozi." What is the most reliable thing in life? It is knowledge, wisdom and sweat. People often say that "it depends on people to plant land and grass, and it depends on people to fill a bowl of soup." Parents can't rely on their whole lives, let alone others? Therefore, the most reliable person in this world is not others, but yourself.

Zuo Zongtang, a great official of frontier defense in the late Qing Dynasty, retired from his old age and went on a big construction project in Changsha, intending to leave a luxurious mansion for future generations. He was always afraid that craftsmen would cut corners, so he personally went to the construction site to supervise the work with crutches, touching here and knocking there. An old craftsman saw that he was so uneasy and said, "Don't worry, my Lord. I have lived for such a long time and built countless palaces in Changsha. The mansion built in my hands has never collapsed, but it is common for the owners to change hands. " After hearing this, Zuo Zongtang felt ashamed and sighed.

As a famous minister, Lin Zexu is much more open-minded in dealing with his children and grandchildren. He once said, "If my descendants are me, what do they need money for? If you are virtuous and have more money, you will lose your ambition; What do children and grandchildren need money for if they don't like me? Foolish and rich, beneficial to increase it. " It is better to leave more knowledge than to leave wealth for children. Future generations may not be able to keep wealth, but they must use knowledge to create wealth.

Thus, wealth is precious, but what is more precious than wealth is knowledge.

So you should understand that it is better to leave knowledge than wealth, so that future generations can learn to stand on their own feet. Don't think you can't live without someone! Only those who stand on their own feet can have a way to save themselves.

There is a story in ancient Greek mythology:

When Hercules, the son of Zeus, was a child, he met two goddesses, one called the Goddess of Virtue and the other called the Goddess of Evil. The evil goddess said to him, "come with me, son!" I'm sure you have endless wealth! What do you want, I will definitely satisfy you! "

The goddess of virtue said to him, "Come with me, son! I will teach you how to go forward bravely! And you will certainly become strong in the process of overcoming difficulties and dangers! "

Hercules thought about it and resolutely followed the goddess of virtue. After that, he really risked his life, became extremely strong in the process of defeating countless poisonous snakes and beasts, and repeatedly made outstanding achievements for mankind, becoming the greatest hero in Greek mythology! Moreover, it is precisely because of this that he married the goddess of youth-became her husband!

I really admire the profound and profound ancient Greeks. It turns out that "you can have whatever you want" is not a happiness, but a kind of evil! On the contrary, only consciously challenging hardships is the most rational choice in life!

a comfortable life with whatever you want can make people feel comfortable, but it won't make you gain anything in terms of vitality such as ability, talent and morality.

"Heaven is strong, and a gentleman strives for self-improvement." The objective world is constantly moving forward, and the society is constantly moving forward. Therefore, people with aspirations must constantly strive for self-improvement and constantly renew themselves.

As Wen Tianxiang said, "It's impossible for a gentleman to advance, but it's only a matter of heaven."

When tsiolkovsky (1857 ~ 1935), the father of rockets in the former Soviet Union, was 1 years old, he contracted scarlet fever and had a high fever for several days, which caused serious complications. He almost completely lost his hearing and became semi-deaf. He silently endured the children's ridicule and the pain of not being able to continue to go to school. His father is a forester and runs around all day. So the burden of teaching him to read and write falls on his mother. Through his mother's patient and meticulous explanation and persuasive counseling, he made rapid progress. However, when he was learning by himself with confidence, his mother fell ill and died. This sudden blow caused him to fall into great pain. He doesn't understand why the road of life is so difficult. Why did so many misfortunes fall on his head? What should he do in the future?

Father stroked his head and said, "Son! Be ambitious and go on by your own efforts. "

yes! Schools don't accept it, others mock it, and in the future it's up to you! Young tsiolkovsky began the real road of self-study. He went from primary school textbooks and middle school textbooks to college textbooks, and taught himself physics, chemistry, calculus, analytic geometry and other courses. In this way, a deaf person, a person who has never been under the guidance of any professor, and a person who has never been to a middle school or an institution of higher learning, has finally made himself a knowledgeable scientist because of his consistent diligent self-study and hard study, laying a theoretical foundation for rocket technology and interstellar travel. ?

Inspirational experience: It is unrealistic to rely on others to get happiness, which will only make your future bleak; No matter how far the road is, no matter how hard it takes, as long as you go by yourself and bravely cut through the thorns, you will definitely get to your destination.

"the most beautiful beggar": I want to earn money with my own hands

At the age of one, he was disabled because of polio with a high fever. At the age of nine, he went out to beg and suffered the hardships of the world. Although he lived a hard life, he was not indifferent and numb: he used begging money to treat his father, and he also gave gifts to his bad brother when he got married. He actively donated money in the Wenchuan earthquake. At the end of last year, he begged in the street and found someone jumping off the building. She shouted over and over again, "Big Brother, if you want to open up a little"; Seeing that it didn't work, with the help of others, he personally went to the top of the 14th floor, trying to persuade him face to face. The touching act of persuading people to give up suicide made him famous overnight. He was called "the most beautiful beggar" by major media. He also said: "I don't want to reach out and beg again. When I have a culture, I will earn money with my own hands." A principal was moved by it and accepted him this year.
