Why do you say congratulations on getting rich during the Spring Festival?
When did the blessing "Congratulations on Getting Rich" begin? William, an Englishman who calls himself "China hand"? Hande, who wrote a book "Foreigners in Guangzhou" on 1842, said that China people always bow and scrape with their hands and say "Congratulations on making a fortune" when they meet in New Year. He believes that "China people may have invented this information because they are eager to get rich". It is said that this is the earliest record of "congratulations on getting rich" (see "Treasure House of Greater China Cultural Knowledge"). In fact, everyone has the heart to make a fortune, and they have already had it. In the pre-Qin period, there was almost a saying of "Congratulations on getting rich". For example, the Analects of Confucius explains: "Ceremony is close to ceremony; Happy, or blessing. " Another example is "making money wisely" in the Book of Rites University, and "having money is good" when everything is wrong.

Xunzi has a saying: "It's warmer to say nice things to people than cloth;" Hurtful words are deeper than spears and halberds. " He also said: "It is more important to give people words than stones and pearls. "'Congratulations on getting rich' is also a very good wish of people." Congratulations on getting rich "is to hope that the other party will get rich and move towards happiness, but whether or not to get rich does not depend on a blessing, but is the result of a combination of many factors."

Getting rich is what people want, and they always hope to have a magical secret recipe, that is, the secret of getting rich in one sentence. There can be no frustrating words like "if" and "but" in this sentence. In recent years, many people write books and try to provide "secrets". There are hundreds of books such as road to riches, The Road to Success and The Secret of the Rich. I have read many books of this kind, all of which say that there is no magic secret to getting rich, and there are many factors to get rich, including luck, timing, knowing people, dedication, courage and determination, hard work and so on. Ray kroc, the king of Hamburg, said frankly: "When I saw the opportunity, I immediately risked bankruptcy, which included both opportunity and diligence. Without diligence, how dare you take risks! " This is the performance of "getting rich through hard work".

As the ancients said, a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. What are the ways to make money in 2006? What is the "financial situation" of business opportunities and financial resources in 2006? According to the investigation report of Scientific Investment, this paper analyzes the investment and wealth management opportunities in 26 aspects in 2006, including 14 industries and 12 opportunities of major capital markets and financial wealth management products with the highest concentration of domestic small and medium-sized investors and entrepreneurs. I believe that these analyses can help small and medium-sized investors and entrepreneurs get rich in the new year, and I hope they can make big money on the basis of "having good methods" in the new year.

The most fundamental way to get money is to rely on your own diligence. /kloc-At the end of 0/9, Horatio Alger, the most popular American writer, wrote a book entitled "Success depends on yourself", which is still widely circulated today. The basic idea of this book is that getting rich mainly depends on diligence and harder work. However, there are indeed many people in the world who have worked hard all their lives and are as tired as ghosts but still can't make a fortune. Alger himself died of poverty; And there are also many people who have made a fortune without much effort. But the key role of "getting rich through hard work" cannot be denied. /kloc-in the 9th century, the German historian Richthofen left a famous saying: "There are two recognized smartest nations in the world, and they are also the most business-minded nations, one is Jewish, and the other is China." He also said that these two peoples are "loyal and hardworking". There are some criticisms after Congratulations on Getting Rich, which is debatable.

"Getting rich depends on opportunities!" That's only half right. Opportunity is really important, if you don't grasp it, you will have nothing! This "catch" is to rely on diligence! As the saying goes, "Heaven rewards diligence". The so-called "diligence" here not only refers to diligence in housekeeping, but also includes diligence in academic research, diligence in cultivation, diligence in work and diligence in career. Confucius taught students to be "sensitive to things" and to work diligently in the world. This is "sensitivity to things". According to Zhu's Last Words, when Zhu was ill, guests still came to see him. Zhu turned a deaf ear to his illness and worked tirelessly. Zhu asked to reduce the time for receiving guests. Zhu snapped, "You are lazy, and so are you when you teach me." This kind of "diligence" and "sensitivity" embodies the faith of the Chinese nation. Thomson, a British industrialist who once owned The Times, said: "Success is a mixture of luck, the ability to seize opportunities, hard work and strong will." It can be seen that opportunities are to be captured by diligence.

Diligence is human nature and the crystallization of civilization. Chinese and foreign wise men hate laziness and admire diligence. Franklin of the United States said in Maxim Yearbook: "It is difficult to be lazy, but it is easy to be diligent." Romain rolland once said, "Laziness is a hotbed of temptation, a cradle of disease, wasting time and eating away happiness." Laziness is a chronic poison, as Italikas said: "Inertia is a chronic poison, which will slowly conquer courage and make it dull." For example, Taylor in the United States said, "Laziness is equivalent to burying a person alive." This is the tomb of the living. Poverty is not terrible, but laziness.

"If you get rich, you will lose!" Yes, like the stock market, there are gains and losses, but it can't be regarded as a shield for laziness and slack. Newton said, "No matter what you do, as long as you are willing to work hard, you will not fail." Make up your mind, and you may succeed. Montesquieu once said, "Since nature has created different strengths and weaknesses in the world, it is often used to cross the rubicon, making the weak no less than the strong." This sentence is full of philosophy and reflects reality. You can't be willing to stand on the side of "loss" because you have losses and losses.

Nowadays, there is a view that the era of making big money is gone forever. Some people say that the environment that produced the super-rich families such as Rockefeller, Ford and Getty has completely disappeared. In fact, as the environment changes, opportunities are constantly emerging. When the inventor of the wheel made a fortune, not everyone lamented that the days of making a fortune were gone forever. But later the reality is not the case. William Davis, a famous British journalist, has personally contacted and interviewed almost all the world's richest people. He has seen all kinds of rich people in the world and all kinds of ways and means to get rich. Although there are various ways to get rich, they all reveal the same message: perseverance, courage, diligence, hard work and being good at grasping opportunities are the secrets. In the book "The World's Super Rich", the statement that "the days of getting rich are over" is analyzed, and it is considered that "there are countless entrepreneurs who can prove that the pessimists' views are untenable. If you list them one by one, you have to write several thick books". Bao Yugang, a billionaire, is another example. He said that he cares about whether he can get rich or not, and he just works hard. Davis especially appreciated Bao Yugang's famous saying of getting rich: "You'd better forget how much money you have before you can continue to work hard. "

"It's too difficult to get rich!" Yes! You can't make a fortune if you are afraid of hardship and fatigue. Our ancestors once said a famous saying: "There is no royal road to science, and only those who do not dread the fatiguing climb along steep mountain roads can hope to reach its glorious summit." Russian Chernyshevski said: "All truly beautiful things are obtained through struggle and sacrifice, and a bright future should be obtained in the same way." Madame Curie said: "On the road to fame, it is not sweat, but blood. Their names are not written with pens, but with life. "

"The origin of the hero Mo Wen", and the so-called "origin" of the rich is obvious, relying on their own knowledge and diligence. After investigating the growth path of 88 richest people in the world, some people say that although they have taken 88 different success paths and followed 88 different success methods, the secret of success is diligence. Most rich people say: besides diligence, they are still diligent. This also shows the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation: "Heaven is healthy, and gentlemen are constantly striving for self-improvement." ("Zhouyi Gan") Yan Zhitui in the Northern and Southern Dynasties said: "One tenth of the things in the world are difficult to give up, and nine tenths are lazy." Look at everything carefully, only lazy words are the most harmful. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu also said, "It's better to be lazy and selfish than what's going on in the world." Lv Kun in Ming Dynasty said, "Laziness is a thief. A thousand virtues and a thousand undertakings, a day of waste and nothing, a thousand sins and evil, and a day of arrogance and no control are these two words. " Hate laziness, both Chinese and western. The Bible says: A diligent person is always with the king. Czech educator Comenius despises laziness. He thinks that when a person is full and has nothing to do, he will daydream and then do immoral things. Therefore, the task of a wise man is not to let anyone be lazy. Confucius said: it's hard to eat all day, but I have no intention. Confucius, like Comenius, thinks that a person who has had enough to eat and does nothing all day will inevitably lead to moral decline, and the wise men have roughly the same view.

"Now advocate easy work and happy study!" Some people become lazy after living a "well-off" life. In fact, this is very dangerous! Life is better than in the past, but we can't be satisfied with ourselves. We should constantly strive to improve our quality of life. Good is better, which requires continuous progress. You can't be content with the status quo, you should make continuous progress, and only in this way can you make a fortune. /kloc-In the 8th century, the Rothschild family was the most famous banking family in Europe, which had a 200-year influence on European economic history and indirectly on European political history. Rothschild once said to a friend, "Someone asked me how I got rich, and I said, I'm not satisfied with making small money ... I often sell my new company and regret it and buy it back." In this way, I finally made a fortune. " It is clear here that the secret of his wealth is that he can't be satisfied with making small money. Health care should pay attention to "relaxation" and "pleasure", but in the cruel market competition, we can't step by step, relax and be lazy. According to a 35-year follow-up survey of 300 25-year-old young people by international wealth experts, the following results are found: 10 people have a successful career, made a fortune and have considerable assets; A rich man with more than 40 people is a huge sum; 50 people are still exhausted and can't make a fortune; 105 people have passed away; 95 people are penniless. The report points out in particular that 95 people from poor families were not poor when they were young, but they had no ambition and lacked life planning, and had been living a "relaxed and lazy life". From this perspective, getting rich is not so easy, and we must have the spirit of continuous progress.

Nowadays, because of the mobility brought by the opening up, people are no longer limited to "dividing cakes" at one time, but can move towards "making cakes" and "making a fortune". When you can't make a fortune, someone said indignantly, "The rich have taken their property!" " This is a kind of hatred for the rich! Nowadays, some people envy and others hate the list of China's richest people published by the influential Forbes. However, people have to admit that "wealth" has begun to walk in front of China people. At the same time, the gap between the rich and the poor is close to the warning line. In this case, it is inevitable to have a hatred of the rich. Why are you jealous of some rich people around you? On the one hand, it is the accumulation of history, including the historical inertia of the mentality of "equal wealth"; On the other hand, there is indeed a phenomenon of getting rich overnight through abnormal means.

Although this phenomenon of psychological imbalance "hating the rich" is a minority, its negative impact should not be underestimated. To alleviate or eliminate the social influence of "hating the rich", the important way is that the rich should engage in charity more consciously and extensively and repay the society in a charitable way. Rickie lambert, a famous American economic commentator, commented in the British Times: "In the United States, you can accumulate wealth at will, and you can own a lot of property. But there is only one requirement: you must return something, and someone must notice you doing so. You must do this, or you will never be a real big shot. " In America, people don't worship the rich, but worship the rich who give back to society. Therefore, Businessweek's annual philanthropist list is more striking than Forbes' annual rich list.

After getting rich, we should repay the society, so that the society can get rich and everyone can get rich! I wish you all the best with "Congratulations on getting rich"!
