"If you can't find a way to make money while sleeping, you will work until you die" - Warren Buffett
Many people have a dream of becoming rich, but most of them don't know how to become rich. However, how do those rich people achieve from poor to rich? I think Buffett has the most say!
Warren Buffett is one of the richest people in the world and the only one who has become the richest person in the world by investing in stocks. In less than 50 years, Warren Buffett has achieved a leap from $100 to $72 billion.
Buffett once revealed the secret of his wealth: those who are really smart do not do these three things, and as time passes, the fortune will come naturally.
1、 Don't take work as a means to live
Buffett said, "I tap dance to work every day!" It shows how much he loves this job.
However, many people now look sad and gloomy on the way to work, thinking that they are just a part-time worker and are hard to turn over in their whole life.
Buffett's first piece of advice is not to take work as a means of living.
Kazuo Inamori, the leader of Japanese business, came to a company that was going to go bankrupt when he graduated, and he could not even get a salary, but he still worked with passion.
When Ren Zhengfei founded Huawei, he meant "China has a bright future", not only to start a business, but also to shoulder the great task of ideals and national progress.
Probably, people with great achievements did not regard work as a means of survival, but gave more profound meaning to their work, which is the secret of their success.
2、 Not always thinking about the long-term future
Buffett often tells his children: "Start with small things, children, don't always put your eyes on the sky."
People with a monthly salary of 3000 always dream of luxury cars and houses; People with a monthly salary of 30000 always think about how to do a good job tomorrow; People with a monthly salary of 300000 only want to do things perfectly today.
The wealthier the people are, the vision will not be too long-term. On the contrary, those who have no ability to predict this and that all day long. Today's things are not done well. What's the long-term perspective?
In fact, walking on the cement road is the same as walking on the road of life. Instead of looking up at the sky, you should look down at the ground. If you don't look down, how can you know where is flat and where is rugged?
3、 Not "instant gratification"
Buffett said, "Thrift plays an indispensable role in catching up with Bill Gates."
Unlike other billionaires, Buffett seems to be over thrifty. Some people describe Buffett like this: his clothes are always wrinkled, his tie is too short, his shoes are badly worn, and he is not like a millionaire at all
As a friend of Buffett, Bill Gates often mocks himself: "If you lose your income from now on, you will soon be surpassed by Buffett because you can't save him."
On the other hand, many young people now regard "instant gratification" and "ahead of schedule consumption" as their attitude towards life. As soon as their wages are issued, they will buy Apple phones or other luxuries, leaving frugality behind.
How can such people achieve wealth freedom? How to achieve the goal of wealth?
Therefore, each of us should distinguish between "want" and "need". The reason why the poor people can turn over must be that they must have experienced hardships. During that time, they only met "needs" and left "wants" in the future.
