In a city, no matter how high the nominal salary is, it is all fake.
Whether it is London, New York, Beijing, Shanghai, or Hong Kong, the price level will automatically adjust to a level where the bottom workers will be left with nothing every month after paying for rent, food, transportation, and other basic living costs. Whether you earn $8,000 a month in Shanghai or $3,000 in New York, the outcome is the same.
We must recognize the nature of social resource allocation.
The middle and lower classes of society earn their income by selling their labor.
The lower class works hard, while the middle class works with their brains.
It seems very simple for the lower class to become middle class. All they need to do is study (work) hard.
But in fact, the poor living environment of the lower class has led to short-sightedness and lack of will among some of them, causing some of them to remain at the lower class when they grow up.
The compulsive gamblers in ancient times and the people who are overly addicted to games today are essentially the same.
Thinking concepts are relatively easy to change, so the lower class and the middle class are fluid.
However, there is an insurmountable gap between the upper and lower classes, and that is a network of resources and relationships.
Therefore, the upper class is usually a large family with connections spread across all major fields of the country.
The middle class also has a small number of connections, but most of them are only able to protect themselves and cannot be said to have an impact on the direction of a field or a country.
Back to the topic.
Even if you graduate from a top university and become a senior white-collar worker, you are just middle class in society, which is what I said, a position that can be achieved through hard work.
But this is the limit for ordinary people.
To go further, you need connections, luck, and constant trial and error.
It requires not only brains, but also luck and a little talent.
The poor should not expect to get rich overnight. They should recognize the reality of their family, integrate family resources, make family progress their goal, and strive to ensure that every generation makes progress or at least does not regress. On this basis, through iteration, generation after generation can approach the top of a certain industry pyramid.
Rich families guard a field, work in an industry for several generations, and then go from 0 to 1 to 2 to 3 to 10 to 100. Rich families constantly pass on experience, prevent failure, gain more advanced experience and pass it on again. As long as they choose the right heir, the wealth will continue to be passed on.
A poor family, the first generation fried pancakes, the second generation studied and wanted to be an engineer, so the skill of frying pancakes was lost, the second generation was too busy to take care of the child, the child was not close to his father and hated the profession of engineer, so he drew pictures every day to call for family affection, so he became an illustrator, but illustrators did not make money and were tired, and there was no time to take care of the child, so the child did not like to draw and might become a tailor. . .
Over and over again, every generation of the poor family chooses freedom and follows their own inner choices. Every generation starts from 0 to 1 and has entry-level experience in many industries, but it can never be passed on. They force their children to learn when they are young but let them be free. As a result, the children have no inherited experience and the family has not grown.
The rich are the opposite. They give you freedom to do whatever you want in school and support you. When you grow up and have to work, you come back to help the family and prepare to inherit the family business. If you don't like it, you can learn slowly. Even if you don't like it, you cannot deprive your children of the right to like it in the future. You are just a member of the family responsible for inheritance. Whether you can carry it forward depends on the current situation rather than your personal effort.
This is the most realistic approach. The essential difference between the poor and the rich is the experience of success. The rich have the experience of success, while the poor do not.
According to my observation, all the big guys around me who started from scratch and are worth over 100 million are all cunning. They say things that make you feel warm, but do things that make you shudder.
I believe that, as a human being, no one is born to be an ordinary person who is inferior to others in every way. Everyone wants to be at the top of the pyramid, make a lot of money, and do great things.
When I have nothing to do, I particularly like to watch animal world, followed by war documentaries.
Because these are real combats with real swords and guns, there is no element of performance.
The strong can plunder the weak with impunity through force and intelligence.
The rule is: the strong prey on the weak and the fittest survive.
There is no emotion or morality involved.
Although the real world seems to be full of human touch, in my opinion, these are just appearances.
Because the rich have never stopped plundering the poor.
This is why “the strong will always be strong, and the weak will always be weak” is an unchanging truth since ancient times.
Humans living in the world are essentially the same as animals living in the jungle: the strong eat the weak, and the big eat the small. It's just that humans are good at packaging themselves, putting on a layer of civilized clothing, making human society look less naked.
We must remember one sentence: the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is everywhere on this earth. There are only two kinds of people in society: wolves and sheep. You can either be a wolf, eating people, or a sheep, waiting to be eaten.
The survival logic of wolves is how to eat sheep gracefully; while the only survival logic of sheep is to become wolves! There is a saying: evil cannot defeat good. This does not mean that evil can never defeat justice, but that once evil defeats justice, it becomes justice itself.
In human society, 99% of people are sheep. Their destiny is to be eaten, or to be eaten (harvested) in disguised form. Such people can also be called "leeks."
Why is the fate of 99% of people to be harvested?
Because 99% of the people in the world are "lost lambs", they all live in illusions and can never see the real world, because the truth is often complicated and cruel, and a person who does not have enough courage and wisdom would rather escape the truth than face it. So these people would rather indulge in fantasy and indulge in temporary pleasure, and never get tired of it.
This is the mob, also called giant baby.
Only 1% of people in the world can see the truth, because they have enough courage to face the reality of the world, enough courage to face the evil of human nature, and enough breadth of mind to accept the injustice of the world. The truth is always in the hands of these very few people, and these people are the masters of the world!
Therefore, this 1% of people can manipulate the 99% of people at will.
