No one will be your safe haven

When people reach middle age, they have seen too many joys and sorrows and human feelings, and will understand that the biggest rely on life, only oneself.

Only rich support yourself, let yourself unparalleled, is the best way to live.

Here are 3 ways to become truly rich.

The real self-discipline is to compete with oneself

I wonder if there are any such people around you:

My friends refused to attend karaoke dinners every once in a while on the grounds that they would go to bed early and wake up early.

Office colleagues start milk tea, every time they say they only drink water.

You might think such a person is unsociable and difficult to get along with.

In fact, they are very disciplined, they can do things in strict accordance with their own principles and standards, no matter when and where they are, quietly planting seeds and waiting for the harvest.

Police writer Tianhu Xiaozhou told such a thing.

Once his cousin got married, he called Uncle Wu and picked him up to go to the hotel.

But Uncle Five refused, saying he would walk.

It's 10 miles from home to the hotel. Who wouldn't hitch a ride? Besides, Uncle Five is an octogenarian.

As a result, the fifth uncle on foot arrived before the driver, to everyone's amazement.

Uncle Wu, 82, is not blind, not deaf, and in good health that would put many young people to shame.

In the hotel lobby, everyone gathered around Uncle Five, asking him for advice on how to keep fit.

The fifth uncle spoke eloquently: "People, don't enjoy too much, you drive, I walk; You pigged out, I ate grain; You guys have fun. I'll take the pain. If you want to be healthy, that's the way to go. Live regularly and go back to nature."

This behavior, which might seem out of step with most people, is actually extreme self-discipline.

In Self-discipline, there's a quote:

"The hardest thing in the world is not winning five million dollars in the lottery, but sticking to good habits day after day that are slow to take effect and painfully hard to implement."

What is success?

Success is, others retreat, but you are silently adhere to.

It is true that sloth and pleasure are human nature.

Competing with nature often makes people miserable, and know how to raise their own people, it is through this "competing with nature" self-discipline, win a broader life.

When you start self-discipline, it is to give your life savings, small savings and total withdrawal, over time, it will become a huge amount.

Ignore other people's mouth, just go your own way

There is a classic scene in the movie The Pursuit of Happyness.

When the family was down and out, the son raised the idea of becoming a professional basketball player.

Dad said, "You're good at many things, but not at basketball."

This sentence, let the son who had been interested in the moment dejected.

In fact, in many cases, not you can't, but others say you can't.

However, Dad added a paragraph:

"Never let anyone tell you that you can't make it, not even me. You got a dream, you gotta protect it! If you want something, go get it."

The greatest responsibility of a man is to be the master of his own destiny, and no one can take his place.

The real strong never listen, you say I can't, I partial line to show you.

Boyle, English chemist, was born into power, but he didn't want to be one. His father tried to persuade him, so he sent him to school.

But none of the teachers liked him during his study, mainly because he was always disobedient.

He had to verify all the answers the teacher gave in class. He burned off his eyebrows and almost destroyed his eyes because of the experiment. He had done this a thousand times, but he had never given up.

Once, he wanted to see what happens when hydrochloric acid is dropped on a violet leaf.

Without thinking, the teacher said to him, "This experiment is meaningless, because I already know from the textbook that hydrochloric acid has no effect on violet petals."

But stubborn, he still insisted on doing the experiment.

It was found that the acid-base solution could change the color of violets.

In this way, he invented the litmus paper, an indicator for identifying acids and bases, which brought great convenience to scientific research.

Jia Pingwa said, "The biggest 'willfulness' of people is to do what they like regardless of everything. Only in this way can people say that my life is worth it."

We spend our whole life, not to satisfy others, but to find their own poetry and distance.

Instead of letting others disrupt your pace, focus on what you are, what you do, and impress them with your strengths.

Can not come to life, no respect for others, go their own way, is the biggest responsibility for life.

Not easily satisfied, life never stop

Writer CAI Yingqing said: "I like to feel the feeling of progress, that is, yesterday is slightly different from today, I also agree that the treasure is not old, only day by day grind."

No matter what stage of life, not easy to meet is always the wheel up.

Not satisfied, is not insatiable, ask for unlimited, but assiduous pursuit, line so far.

When Mr. Tan Dun, a famous musician, first came to the United States to study music, he became a "street musician" in front of the bank because of financial constraints.

So he made friends with a foreign student in the same situation.

Two people take care of each other, play the piano together every day to make money.

As they perform, there is sparse applause from the crowd who stop to watch, while coins are thrown into the money box.

Not only can show one's strengths, but also can obtain a good income, my friend is very satisfied with the present life, every time when the performance showed the intoxicated expression.

Tan Dun is not satisfied, has been running on the road to study.

Ten years later, Tan ran into his friend playing the piano in front of the bank.

Seeing his sudden appearance, the friend greeted him warmly: "Hi, long time no see, where are you playing the piano now?"

"Carnegie Hall," Mr. Tan replied.

The friend opened his mouth in amazement, for it was the most famous concert hall in America.

Little did he know that his partners, who once played the piano together in the street, would become world-famous musical giants.

You see, satisfied and not satisfied, 10 years later, the difference is the whole life.

Nietzsche said: "Life attempts to erect its own ladder, it longs to look to distant places, longing for the beauty of ecstasy, because it requires upward."

God gave you a pair of feet, not to hold you back, but to let you go further.

When in poverty, rise up against; A great deal of time, in peace; When you fall, you fight back.

No matter what situation you are in, don't be satisfied with what you have, you will have something better. Don't settle for the better, you will have the best.

Some people always think that rich support themselves, is to enjoy a rich material life.

In fact, to maintain a long-term state of self-discipline, have an independent and free life, adhere to the upward beauty obsession, is the best way to enrich their own.

There is a good saying: "eat what others can't eat, endure what others can't endure, do what others can't do, you can enjoy what others can't enjoy."

Bear others can not bear, naturally can get others want and can not get.

If you love yourself, the world will love you. May we all know how to nourish ourselves and live out our most beautiful appearance in the years.
