Brothers, do you believe in luck?
From 0 to 1 million, it takes ruthlessness.
From 1 million to 10 million, it takes filth.
From 10 million to 50 million, it takes life.
From 50 million to 5 To make hundreds of millions, it depends on whether you're a genuinely good person. You must be pure.
So if you want to earn tens or even millions, you can do it by working hard.
But big money depends on luck.
A man who makes hundreds of millions proves he's been to hell.
But for a woman to make hundreds of millions, she must not only stir up hell but also bring a bunch of little devils to heaven.
The result is lovelessness, because no one can control it.
Without family affection, everyone around you wants you dead.
Without friendship, anyone who approaches you has ulterior motives.
Rich or poor, the same fate awaits. No matter how hard you fight, how high you reach the social pyramid, you'll still be alone after a lifetime of wandering.
The three human emotions are extinguished.
So, a rational view of great wealth and honor is that even without wealth, one can still have small joys. This is not blindness.
Without virtue to support it, wealth is a disaster.
To put it bluntly, wealth is virtue, and great wealth is great virtue!
The richer people are, the more they believe in fate, metaphysics, and feng shui. Take Li Ka-shing, Jet Li, celebrities, and other stars.
Sometimes, they don't even know how they made their money, a phenomenon known as survivorship bias.
But most technical professionals, office workers, and the middle class don't really believe in it.
Those who achieve wealth through hard work, wisdom, and effort generally believe that God rewards hard work.
Hard work, persistence, and diligence—my destiny is in my own hands.
They either scoff at or remain skeptical of so-called metaphysics.
In contrast, entrepreneurs or those in high positions with a certain amount of wealth generally have a strong reverence for metaphysics.
The true trajectory of each person's success is known only to them.
How much of it is truly due to their own ability and how much is due to luck—they all have a clear account in their minds.
Successful people know their own strengths and weaknesses.
Their success is largely accidental, and hard work is certainly a function of their own efforts.
But the world is full of people who work harder than they do, lacking only a little luck.
Rich people believe in fortune-telling (as evidenced by the recent Shi Yongxin incident) largely because their wealth is beyond their means.
Most of them are grateful for fate's favor.
Precisely because they understand the importance of their own abilities in this process,
they revere metaphysics and hope it will last.
