Zeng Guofan's life can be described as a legend. Just before, an official below him asked him what to do if he is forty years old and has not made achievements. Can you still be prosperous in your life? So Zeng Guofan told him: Everything is rich, and humility is expensive. This sentence is full of philosophy. That is to say, if a person wants to get rich, he must do everything comprehensively when doing things. After a long period of time, he will be sure to succeed. However, if a person is rich, he will inevitably lose his extravagance. If he starts to be arrogant after he is rich, he will cause disaster sooner or later, so he has to tolerate others.

Zeng Guofan himself was born in an ordinary peasant family, but by his own efforts, he won the imperial examination and went to the officialdom. Not only was he able to climb to such a high position, but his good fortune in life was the most enviable. He also left a lot of advice to the world, which was his accumulated experience in his life and his wisdom in dealing with people. Nowadays, in this era of fast-paced life, many people are still mediocre at the age of forty. At this time, we can listen to the wisdom of our ancestors, and we will certainly be a late bloomer in the future. What we are going to say today is that if people reach forty, if they find these two hints, they are all signs of being a late bloomer.

first, it's rich to have a return. Everyone wants to be rich, which doesn't mean that everyone is greedy. Pursuing material is human nature, but you have to pursue it through your own efforts, reverse your destiny, and then let the family live a good life. This is what everyone thinks. So how can we get rich? Master nan huaijin once said: A person's behavior determines his habits, while his personality determines his life, and his choice determines his result, so his life is actually his own choice. On the road to prosperity, everyone's goals are almost the same, but the final outcome is different.

If you want to get rich, you must not only dream, but also take action, and you must not rely on others. You must know how to rely on yourself, and you must not just think about doing big things, ignoring small things. Most people who can start from scratch can only accumulate by themselves and grow up slowly. Therefore, some people on the Internet have said that if you feel that your talents are not worthy of your ambitions, you should study, and if you feel that your ability cannot achieve your goals.

second: humility and tolerance are your beauty. Mr. Zeng Guofan has a saying that he will read it every day. This sentence is: always humble and less proud; Talk less and do more. It is used to alert yourself and not to be proud after making achievements in officialdom. This is the experience of Zeng Guofan, and it can be deeply loved by the people. It is absolutely inseparable from his words.

Moreover, some people told Zeng Guofan that if you are in a high position, you should act like an official, so that others will be obedient. However, Zeng Guofan didn't care about this at all. He felt that he must serve others with good deeds, so he would be more loved. In fact, whether a person is expensive or not has nothing to do with his status and wealth, but depends on a person's pattern, so don't think that being low-key and modest will be laughed at. If they put up with what others can't stand, they will naturally get good popularity, which is also a sign before a person makes a fortune.

So, if you are forty years old and can do these two things, be flexible and tolerant, good luck will come sooner or later.
