1. Most of those who show off their wealth in the circle of friends,
actually, will not achieve great success.
Just like Lu Yao said:
Physics tells us that
things exposed to the sun will dry out,
and only refrigeration can keep them fresh.
So, stop exposing them,
and your sense of happiness will drop quickly if you expose them too much!
2. People who can really succeed:
They will not show off their intelligence everywhere, their talents will not be publicized everywhere, and their skills will not be taught casually.
Just like what Wang Zhiwen said:
People should learn to hide two things,
one is their thoughts, and the other is their skills.
Things should be hidden well,
Once they are told,
they will become gossip for others.
If your heart is too straightforward,
it will hurt you sooner or later.
You should also hide your skills a little,
because being too sharp can easily hurt others.
People are jealous,
and would rather see strangers succeed,
than those around them succeed.
If you don't know how to hide,
then trouble will come.
3. You can make a little money with your cleverness,
but the real wise man makes a fortune quietly.
Have you noticed that,
those powerful people,
are doing great things quietly.
Those great people around,
usually,
suddenly announced their marriage, suddenly got promoted,
suddenly bought a new house, suddenly became rich,
and then surprised everyone with their mouths wide open!
That's because: things succeed by keeping secrets, and they fail if they are leaked.
So, before you succeed, don't tell anyone about what you decide to do,
don't even tell God,
do it quietly, and then tell it after you succeed.
This is not superstition,
but the law of how things develop.
4. Only small streams can roar,
big rivers are quiet, but they can flow farther.
So, smart people know to keep a low profile,
just like the saying goes:
Corn always keeps its head down, and wise men are always gentle.
In this world, keeping a low profile is right.
Many times,
the more proud you are, the easier it is to fall.
And only by lowering your head and bending down at the right time,
can you survive the wind and rain, and the road ahead will be broader.
Smart people know how to hide themselves and keep a low profile, so that they can avoid the attacks of villains and do everything with peace of mind.
Remember:
Before failure, people will be proud;
Before honor, you must be humble.
