Why are many poor people poor all their lives or even generations?
A Nobel Prize-winning professor at Harvard University found that:
Poor people never take the time to upgrade their skills,
Every day, from the moment you open your eyes to the moment you close your eyes, you struggle for three meals a day.
One year, two years, ten years, even a lifetime, no progress.
This is the nature of poverty.
The rich spend 60% of their time growing wiser and 40% enjoying their work
Time poverty is the "new law of poverty" for most people.
Who we are is how we use our time. Having too many things to do and too little time, or even being forced to do things you don't like, is called "time poverty."
Busy every day, increased stress, decreased happiness, did not improve learning, this is not normal; Being empty every day and lacking a sense of purpose can also affect happiness.
People, the best state is relaxed. Neither can we consume ourselves endlessly for the gains and losses of a day, nor will we drain ourselves because of sudden pressure.
Li Ka-shing is the richest man in Hong Kong, belongs to the brain and diligent people, others see him get up on time at 5:59 every day, amazing diligence, but he will listen to the news for more than half an hour a day, often play golf for an hour and a half, in addition, before going to sleep at night will read a wide range of books, both to enhance vision, increase wisdom, but also to enjoy life.
A HungariAn-American psychologist interviewed thousands of individuals around the world, including monks, mountain climbers, professional athletes, world-renowned musicians, college students, and other ordinary people, in their daily work and life to locate and pinpoint their most fulfilling moments. It turns out that when it comes to true happiness, they rarely talk about daily work, but rather about taking the time to improve themselves and enjoy higher levels of pleasure from it.
I've also found that families who take regular weekend family vacations tend to be happier and wealthier than the middle class. Even the most hardworking rich people find time to read, to exercise, to study a hobby, rather than being completely immersed in their daily work, and only 40% of their time is spent enjoying their work, rather than working hard.
On the contrary, most of the poor are busier and poorer, the poorer and busier they are, doing repetitive mechanical things every day, not knowing how to plan, not knowing how to think, deeply trapped in a vicious circle, and finally can only solve the problem of food and clothing.
Poor people spend 60% of their time making money and 40% of their time satisfying their desires
People who fall into poverty for a long time are often indifferent to time
Rich people are good at managing their time, planning for the long term, and investing in themselves. Opportunities will always find them.
The poor are desperate to make money, devoting more than 60% of their time to the pursuit of wealth, and the rest of the time to the satisfaction of desires to relax themselves.
Time is the most fair thing in the world, most of the poor, in addition to hard work, feed their families, the rest of the time used to satisfy their desires, complaining about the environment.
The biggest illusion of life is that the days ahead are long, and a lot of time is wasted, but you do not know how to plan tomorrow and improve yourself. In real life, what do many poor people do outside of work? To eat, drink and play, to watch video games, to ineffective social.
If the poor want to break through, they need to understand at least a few things:
1- Have a long-term life plan
It is difficult for us to have the luck to become rich overnight, but we can cultivate the ability to become rich slowly. The longer we plan, the more abundant our achievements.
2- Keep investing in yourself
The most valuable thing adults can do is invest in themselves.
People can not earn wealth outside of cognition, and only by improving 1% every day can they grow and sharpen.
3- Be contrarian
The poor become rich, if there is no reverse thinking, flexible thinking, it is difficult to break through the original class.
