I always think of a famous saying by New Oriental teacher Chen Qi: When you don’t have money, don’t talk too much. You should know your own abilities in your heart, and you should still work hard and make progress. Only in this way can you succeed. If you are qualified to be a philanthropist, you can help others live a better life. Otherwise, it will be like a disabled person sitting in a wheelchair without legs and saying that I will not hit you because I am kind-hearted! one. Sample. of. Virtual. Fake! When you have no money, admit that you have no money, do what you should do in a down-to-earth manner, look upward, have distant dreams in your heart, stand up unyielding, no matter what they say to you, you must trust yourself and just do it! Until you truly become an upper class person!

Yesterday I asked a friend to go out to watch a movie, but he was rejected.
I feel very strange because she is almost the most active person in the circle of friends and usually does not miss activities invited by her friends.
She told her that she was currently struggling to make money and could not afford to waste time.
It turned out that some time ago, her mother fell ill. For the first time, she realized that her parents were getting older and began to suffer from minor illnesses.
In the hospital, she mingled in the crowd with a sad look on her face and queued up to pay.
Looking at the amount on the account, thinking of my moonlight life and the only two thousand yuan in my bank card, I suddenly realized the benefits of money.
When life brings illness, disaster, and embarrassment, we will realize: it is really miserable to have no money.
I suddenly remembered that when I was the poorest, I didn’t even dare to get sick because medical treatment was too expensive.
When you suffer from gastroenteritis, you can only squat in front of the toilet and vomit, and then force yourself to drink a large glass of hot water.
That’s when I discovered that having money is really good.
At least it will make our lives more dignified and have more choices.
I once watched a movie, the name of which I can’t remember clearly, but there is a line in it that I still remember to this day:
I don’t love money, but I know it Money can bring independence and freedom, and what I like is an independent and free life.

In the online drama "Beijing Women's Illustrated Book", when Chen Ke first arrived in Beijing, she defected to her high school classmate.
Although she knew there were differences between men and women, she still had to live in a small apartment of her classmates because she had no money.
Later, I was almost assaulted by a classmate. Before I decided to leave, I carefully asked him:
Can I still do the job you introduced me to before?
To be so humble, in the final analysis, is because of two words: no money.
Regarding "Why people must work hard to make money", there is an answer on the Internet that I agree with very much:
Making money hard is not because you love money. But in this life, I don’t want to be disrespectful to anyone because of money, nor do I want to embarrass anyone because of money.
I just hope that when my parents are old, I can be able to share the burden; when my children need it, I will not be short of money.
If we are given a reason to work hard, it must be because of fear of poverty.

When I watched "The First Half of My Life" before, I felt that Luo Zijun was very pretentious.
She graduated from a prestigious university and has a good face. Because her husband said "I will make money to support you", she chose to become a full-time wife.
Someone cooks the food, takes care of the children, and a pair of shoes costs 80,000 yuan.
Her husband is famous in the workplace, but she can only go shopping and have random thoughts, without any financial ability.
That’s why when the marriage crisis comes, it will be so weak and weak.
In the "gamble" of marriage, Luo Zijun lost everything because she had no chips from the beginning, and even the "capital" was given by her husband.
Fortunately, Luo Zijun woke up quickly enough. After the divorce, he immediately found a job and turned over step by step.
In stark contrast to Luo Zijun, is her best friend Tang Jing.
Tang Jing is a typical career woman. She owns a house and money. She is successful in the workplace and never relies on anyone.
In the novel, after Zijun got divorced, one day he couldn't control his emotions and ran to Tang Jing's office to escape from reality. There is this psychological description:
I didn't have it before. I've been to Tang Jing's office. I felt warm and safe today. I didn't want to leave when I sat down.
This is the world that belongs to her. She fought for it with her bare hands and gritted her teeth. It is unbreakable. Her efforts over the years have been rewarded.
It was work and money that gave Tang Jing enough confidence.
Money can give us more choices, and choices can breed our sense of security.

I remember once watching the Round Table Party and talking about money-related topics.
Program guest Ding Xueliang said that his best friend when he was studying in the United States was a Jew.
This Jewish friend said:
You Asians always think that we Jews love money. I used to feel very ashamed of this.
But then my father said something to me, and from then on I knew why our family has loved money for generations.
Because once you encounter persecution, no matter what the reason is, the only thing that can buy the life of a family is money.
Jews do not love money, they love "money can buy the life of a family".
To a certain extent, money is equated with dignity and freedom, making us feel warmth and security.
And seeking a sense of security is our subconscious instinct.
There is a funny joke on Weibo:
After my best friend fell out of love, she booked a flight and flew to the Maldives for vacation. She came back a week later and looked like she was fine.
I asked her how she quickly got out of the shadow of lovelorn? Is the love not deep enough?
She said: Probably because she is rich!
People who have no money can only buy a bottle of beer and sit on the curb to cry when they are heartbroken.
But if you have money, you can go to romantic Turkey, Tokyo and Paris, and cry as much as you want.
It’s not that we have to respect money, but life is really not that easy without money.
Only when you spend time improving yourself and making money down-to-earth, will you stay away from all impetuousness and pretentiousness.
Because those who are busy and rich will never spend time on useless emotions.

There was a Weibo topic before: When the epidemic is over, who do you want to see most?
The most liked reply is: I don’t want to see anyone, I just want to go out and make money quickly.
There is another hot search topic: What has the epidemic taught you?
A highly praised answer is: It’s not that work needs me, but that I need work.
Someone replied below: It’s not that you need a job, it’s that you need money.
Correct answer.
On weekdays, many people live a life of moonlight or even debt.
Due to the impact of the epidemic, income was suddenly cut off, and a survival crisis immediately emerged. Living expenses, rent, water and electricity, Huabei, credit cards... all were lost.
Thinking about it makes me anxious.
Therefore, this epidemic has made many people understand: Life is unpredictable, it is really important to work hard, earn more money, and save as much money as possible.
Living with dignity is not just about dressing well, but also maintaining a positive attitude even after experiencing all the suffering in the world.
This is what we often call "human taste".
There is a saying in the Japanese comic "Everyday Life":
"The so-called daily life we ??spend every day may actually be a continuous miracle."
I have been beaten and targeted, I have tasted the sweetness of life, and I have also been pushed to the bottom by life. I have learned to endure hardships with ease.
Along the way, everyone is their own hero.
Whether living in the market or traveling in the city, everyone has a different way of living, but there is only one purpose:
Live a good life.
So, when you see the takeaway guy running hard on the roadside
The stranger in the circle of friends shouting at the seller
Take a taxi late at night and take the order immediately The Didi master who took you home...
Please respect them.
They are a group of people who are working hard to live.
"Don't laugh at me, I am living a serious life."
I hope you are too.
