In the process of helping many friends watch the market, I am often asked such a question: As an ordinary person at the bottom of society, how can I turn over?
This problem has plagued the Chinese for thousands of years, and it can be said that since the Qin and Han dynasties, especially since the imperial examination system, the ultimate, extreme, pursuit, and seeking at the social level have all been "promising." "This Is What You Also Want to Be Promising: Starting from Song Jiang" Let's first classify the hierarchy into a hierarchy: the elite class - the large bourgeois class - the middle class - the small bourgeois class - the proletariat and the semi-proletarian class.
Of course, the division of these five classes is more complicated, but generally follows two principles: one is the social wealth owned, and the other is the social (official) status owned. Although each class can be subdivided, these five classes are sufficient.
So what is the so-called turnover, or step-to-layer leap?I think it's at least the middle class or above!
The "people at the bottom" for thousands of years have found these ways out:1Rebellion-Revolution-Life 2Reading-Books-Subjects-Examinations 3Marriage-Marriage 4Pan-Dragon-Attached-Phoenix, Attached-Attached-Right-Noble 5From - business, accumulation - accumulation - wealth - wealth.
One of them is too extreme, and for history, it is always so many decades of earth-shaking and the next few hundred years of peace;There aren't many opportunities for you.
Although 2 and 5 are not the only way, they must be the path that most people can take, and 3 and 4 are actually the most direct way for many people.
These ways out are nothing more than two aspects: one is rich and expensive, and the second is expensive and rich. Either way, there must be "expensive". The nobility here refers not only to the nobility of power, but also to the nobility of social statusThat is, the knowledge middle class, the cultural and sports middle class, and the management middle class, such as scientists, professors, doctors, cultural and sports stars, and the management of enterprises, as well as the middle and lower levels of the system-system-internal and so on.
Here Lushan wants to talk about a more heart-wrenching reality, I hope you can accept it: for the vast majority of ordinary people, the upper limit of this life is actually "middle class".
After all, with the pyramid structure, it is impossible to stand so many people on the spire, and it is not allowed to stand so many people. How difficult is it for ordinary people to cross classes and achieve turnover?I would like to give you an example that I am very familiar with, which is neither the top-level honor-noble family, nor some family-family. It's an ordinary family that I've witnessed for at least four generations.
Let's take a look at how this ordinary peasant family has gradually risen from the lowest level of society to a family of talented people in the torrent of the times.
This family is my great-grandmother's maiden family, and the reason why I am so familiar is because my great-grandmother died at the age of 100, so even in her old age, the two families still have to move around during the New Year's holidays, and there will be weddings and funerals. Correcting the old Qin, the remnants of the sixth Fen Dynasty, completed the domination of the world;It takes at least three generations of hard work for an ordinary family to jump over that "dragon gate" and become a "prominent family" with many talents.
My great-grandmother's maiden name was Liu, and before her father, she was an honest farmer. Of course, if you go up for more than ten generations, there may be famous ancestors, but in this generation, there is no more shade to speak of, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is three generations of poor peasants.
According to my grandfather, his grandfather, Mrs. Liu, was tall and the turning point also appeared in this generation, and this article calls him Mrs. Liu. In that troubled era at the end of the Qing Dynasty, our region suffered from the all-round influence of the Twist Army, the Boxer Rebellion, and then the warlord melee, and the word "the people are not living" is very appropriate. In such troubled times, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive if they rely on farming. So Mrs. Liu started selling salt for a living, which was absolutely illegal in those days, and she was caught guilty of not being light.
1.The first step in the rise of the family: cognitive awakening, that is, breaking the cage and getting rid of the thinking of being obedient and being a good student. As for whether the sword goes sideways, or whether to study or practice martial arts, it depends on personal experiences and endowments. But there must be someone who understands and sees the bigger world, rather than an honest tenant mentality (or part-time job mentality). A person can be poor in food and clothing, but he must not be poor in vision, especially as a leader of a family. How dangerous is the road of selling salt?
Mrs. Liu sold salt and pushed a wheelbarrow, and once the officials or officials and soldiers found out, they came to chase them. Old lady Liu was burly and tall, and his strength was amazing, and he picked up the wheelbarrow (with three bags of salt on it) and waded through the river. But some of his brothers and accomplices were not so lucky, and drowned two.
made a fortune by selling salt and petty trade, and Mrs. Liu bought a lot of land after decades of operation. According to my grandfather, how much land did his grandfather have at that time?That is, "the ox pulls the plough from one end of the ground to the other, and there are several acres." "I've been to that village, and there is a land of several hundred acres, half of which is said to have belonged to their old Liu's family. 2.The means of production have always been the best-carrier of wealth, and in the past they were land, minerals;Now it's the house;Later it may be information and data.
Owning the means of production means having the ability to earn "rent-fee-tax";Of course, the landlord can earn "rents" and the yamen can earn "fees and taxes", the purpose of which is to ensure income during droughts and floods.
In financial language, it's called crossing bulls and bears. 3.Of course, the process of primitive accumulation is destined to be arduous, even desperate, and perhaps not so glorious, in fact, the history of many rich people is not very sunny.
What many people don't know is that the primitive accumulation of the Jews was twofold: the first was lending money in the West, and the second was smuggling opium in the EastPaul Duran, the founder of DuPont University in the United States, also made his fortune on smuggling, but this does not affect the donation of a university named after him.
4.To grasp all the resources that can be grasped and exert all the energy that can be exerted, first of all, what you can do is to "exploit yourself".
Do sports stars make less money?Do actors make less money?If you have good physical fitness, you can naturally develop sports, and if you have good looks, you can become an actor. At the moment, how many people are shouting hard in the live broadcast room. For those who are at the bottom, they should be "like a bad smell", and for beautiful things, they should be "like lust". Soros once said, "I was born poor, but I must not die poor and poor"!
If it is here, it is actually a nouveau riche story at most!Or even a less political-political-correct-positive inspirational story. My great-grandmother's family consisted of five sisters and brothers, three boys and two girls, who were born around 1900. With the three Liu brothers in the village, they became landlords, and one also became a "security chief", which is the largest "official" of the old Liu family for ten generations, of which the third also joined the army and became a pawn of the warlord (after losing contact, no queen).
In that era, having more brothers meant that the family was prosperous, the family was strong, and with the blessing of the "Bao Chang" and the "Military Leader", although it was not very "domineering", it was also an existence that no one dared to provoke easily.
In the era of relative scarcity of resources, in order to compete for limited resources, people have to fight hard and even desperately. Just like the current postgraduate entrance examination, although some people have the element of "not seeing the light", most people still need to be tough.
5.No matter how much wealth you have, if you want to go further or better to preserve your wealth, you must have official power-to-power endorsement.
6.Salt selling is a high-risk industry, which belongs to partial wealth, but partial wealth also needs to be guarded, otherwise eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, no matter how big the family business is, it will only be a passing moment, and falling into the "enjoyment trap" can only become a loser. 7.As an individual, if the original family can neither give you more material support nor help you open your horizons in a higher dimension after providing food and clothing, then you must go to another country to marry nobles, so that you can understand the real operating rules of this society and gain insight into the world.
If you want to go up, you first need a higher mode of thinking, tenant thinking and landlord thinking are two ways of thinking, and they are two states of existence. Even if you improve your cognition and understand the truth, you may not really have the way of thinking behind the cognition and reason. You also need to "grind on things" instead of relying on your own imagination.
I've heard some people say this, such as "good people can't do business or honest people can't be good officials", which is really stupid and sour, because he doesn't understand that different levels have different requirements for people, but they are just helpless to the pelican.
If you follow the logic of the antelope, there should be no cheetah in this world, because he does not eat grass, and he does not know how to pity us. As Lao Tzu said: Virtue is not virtue, it is virtue.
When the time comes to the next generation (the grandchildren of Old Lady Liu), the land that each family can get is actually not very much, which is very similar to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty's "Tui En Order". For the old Liu family, it is quite fair, and each descendant is divided into equal land. However, the old family has more children and less land, and the second family has fewer children and has more land. Of course, Mrs. Liu also left land for the third child, but the third child never returned, and this part of the land was also divided between the eldest and the second family, and it is said that the second child also took the initiative to give the eldest a part more.
There are a total of seven grandchildren (males) of Mrs. Liu, of which Mr. Liu's two wives have 5 sons, and Mr. Liu's second family has 2 sons.
Basically all seven of them have read books, thanks to the vision and wisdom of Boss Liu, who is the chief of security. Because he came into contact with higher-level figures from the township and county, it seemed that he also understood that only with culture can he move to a higher position, so he also attached more importance to children's education. According to the descendants of the old Liu family, the phrase that Boss Liu most often teaches his nephews is called "interests and harms".
The third child of Mr. Liu's family became a cadre of the grain management institute after liberation because he had participated in the militia and had a certain amount of knowledgeAmong his peers, one became a small boss in the county town, and the other was in charge of cargo management at the railway station in the townshipThe rest are all in the village, one of them is the leader of the production team, and only 3 are really pure farmers (white bodies).
In that turbulent era, because of the existence of such a few "capable people" in the family and the good popularity of the usual, they were not labeled as landlords. Of course, the family's land has also become "collective property", and it seems that decades of accumulation have "zeroed";But it also seems that the whole family has a different idea from other families and has been engraved into the DNA. Some of the children and nephews of the next generation joined the "militia" and served as soldiers.
The old Liu family is keen to be a soldier, although they are not serious military academy officers, but with this identity, it will make people have more respect. Of course, it may have something to do with the fact that Mrs. Liu was chased by the "official army" and "waded across the river" and lost his brother. Since then, he has a high sense of identity with the identity of "official and military".
8.The rise of a family is nothing more than a civil, military and businessman, for example, Zhang Juzheng's ancestor was a thousand households who were sealed because of the "first achievement".
In that era of ultra-high illiteracy, reading books became a "scarce commodity", and naturally enjoyed the dividends of "reading". So it's not that reading books is useful or useless, it's that it's useful to become a "scarce commodity".
9.Pay attention to education, pay more attention to family style;The material wealth of the family may not be passed on from generation to generation, but the spiritual wealth and verified social experience can be passed on, which will save future generations many detours. 10.The role of interpersonal relationships is irreplaceable, especially the interpersonal relationships of blood relations, which can bring you a lot of convenience and reduce a lot of unnecessary costs for you;Therefore, in order to learn to compile a "circle of friends" for yourself, there are friends and classmates who are not related by blood, and you must learn to trouble and be troubled.
In that special era, the old Liu family really ushered in a real "hundred flowers blooming". There are more than 20 descendants of these seven descendants of the Liu family (male and female), and the birth time is about from the forties and fifties to the sixties. Many friends don't understand that period, there is a saying that "**", that is, the father's work can be entered by the children **, there is no "public examination", but you also need to have a certain degree of education.
And the old Liu family because of the previous generation of ** cadres of the "grain management office" (later entered the county and is still in charge of agriculture, according to the current level, it belongs to the deputy department level), there have been "person in charge of the railway station", there have been "little bosses", these three "capable people". At the same time, thanks to the family's emphasis on education, among the more than 20 descendants of the new generation.
There are 4 college students (1 undergraduate, 1 junior college, 2 technical secondary schools), and the rest have entered the "grain management office" and "railway station" system through ** (have studied junior high school or above), and there are many who are doing business. The most of this generation. High. The rank is a deputy department-level cadre and a director of a city hospital.
However, there are also those who were once "in the system" and later lost their "iron rice bowls" after "coming out" for various reasons. One point that must be mentioned here is why I mentioned above the irreplaceable role of interpersonal relationships, especially those related by blood. In that day when I had to pay the public grain, the requirements for humidity and quality were also very high, but there were people who were easy to handle, and my family was also taken care of.
In the later wave of the development of township enterprises in the first ten years, another person started a township enterprise, doing hardware and plate processing factories, and the family brothers and nephews also joined them, the real "fight tiger brothers, father and son soldiers". The factory is still in operation and has become a local "rich" figure.
If wealth and entry into the system are used as the criteria for "making a profit", the success rate of this generation is very high, at least 40%. 11.For the development of a family, the atmosphere is very important;Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and children of mice will make holes.
When your family has many businessmen, children will inevitably yearn to engage in business, and if your family has entered the system, then the children's yearning for entering the system must be higher than that of ordinary families. And this sense of self-purpose is what drives a person forward.
12.The road is stepped on by people, and success may not be copied, but crossing the river by feeling the stones, and some people have goals after touching the stones. Why most people will be trapped at the bottom all the time, because for him there is no successful experience to learn from, let alone a "person who understands" who can see, touch, or even be around you, who can give you a few words or directions. So for ordinary people, either relying on nobles or themselves, the cost of trial and error is too high.
13.The most important thing in family education is to teach and encourage by word and deed, for ordinary people, please be sure not to suppress children's enthusiasm and self-motivation, many family education is to turn children into "ordinary people like themselves". Of course, in the generation born in the 70s and 80s and 90s (I belong to the third generation of cousins), the two families also have many new relatives. In this generation, there are a lot of them, roughly estimated at forty or fifty people. The older ones were born in the 70s, and the later ones were born in the 90s, and there is a huge age disparity.
Since this generation, there are many people who have been admitted to universities academically, including the National University of Defense Technology and ordinary colleges. In terms of work, whether it is within the system, civil servants, teachers, doctors, or opening factories and enterprises, and doing business have become the norm. Some moved their families to bigger cities, some went abroad, and some still lived in the villages where Mrs. Liu had struggled, and at the same time, there were also "losers".
14.Anytime you want to mix up, there must be three conditions: the first is that you can do it, the second is that someone says you can do it, and the third is that the person who says you can do itBut only if you can. 15.The development of the times is destined to eliminate some people, but also to coerce some people, and some are the trendsetters of the times.
The premise of grasping the dividends of the times is that you are "prepared" yourself, not improvised. Most of them belong to the latter, so they often lament that "bad luck" is "bad luck", while the former is more of "time is running out". 16.Of course, whether it is a leapfrog or the so-called promising, it must be built under the background of the times, and when the great luck of the times and the fortune of the individual collide, they are destined not to be mortals;Of course, if you are hit by the dust of the times, the price is also huge.
17.Opportunity, what is it?It is unattainable, and it cannot be earned;Is it still an opportunity that everyone can see?
For example, the township enterprises in the 90s, and now many of the many large listed companies in China are township enterprises of the year, such as Wahaha, Midea, Anta and so onAnother example is real estate after 00. 18.The road is for people to come out of you, and what path you choose will have what kind of results, and the "enjoyment trap" or comfort zone is something that everyone will face. It's just that many people don't understand that some hardships need to be eaten first, and some hardships are destined to be eaten.
You can't want everything and get everything right away. Of course, in the more than 100 years of development of this family, there have been no groundbreaking big people, no nobles, and no national-level rich people. But in my opinion, this is the historical epic of ordinary people, ordinary families who cross classes step by step.
There are department-level cadres, the president of the city hospital, senior technical personnel, private entrepreneurs, and farmers who are still at the bottom of the farming, and I believe that this family will have even greater talents in the future.
In so many years of life, I have come into contact with many self-made elites, witnessed many mediocre sons of the family, and also seen that the second generation is not just a gentleman as you think.
Of course, everyone's success is not an assembly line industrial product, but an irreproducible work of art. But I still see a few high-latitude "secrets" in it, I know that with your cleverness, you will realize it one day, but understanding it early will also help you "take a few years less wrongful road".
1- People at high latitudes seek security in certainty, and people at low latitudes look for excitement in uncertainty. The higher the rank, the more he is "overcoming the unknown through the known", that is, the unpredictable, so after obtaining the achievement, he can still be unfazed, because he knows that this is what he deserves.
On the contrary, the more people in the lower ranks want to "change the known through the unknown", especially fantasy and chance to get the pleasure of success.
Just like gambling, he didn't know how he won the game, so he boiled down this success to two things: one was that I was lucky, and the other was that I was really good.
The pleasure brought by this accidental success is indeed irresistible to a person, but it must be accompanied by the other side of the accident, that is, the inevitable "loss and chagrin", because luck is not exclusive to anyone.
And this way of thinking will continue to strengthen itself, once you become obsessed with this "thrill of accidental success", you will fall into it, as difficult as quitting gambling and gambling, which is the most terrible.
In the end, the wealth earned by luck is returned by strength. 2- If you always believe only in yourself, it is easy to have two extremes: one is blind confidence and the other is self-righteousness.
In the years when I was doing finance in Lushan, I remember a middle-aged man with a nine-figure fund and said he wanted to come and have fun. The reason introduced by an acquaintance and he talked about some investment logic, which may indeed be "professional and incorrect", and he said that you just tell me what to buy and go up.
Of course, in the end, although he also participated, he sent a message greeting every day when making money, of course, when the operation was adjusted for a few days, his mentality changed 180 degrees, and the greeting almost became a "greeting", and finally he quit, and he felt unreliable.
In his eyes, the money he made at the beginning was his own courage and believed in us;The later exit is also sober-minded, and these people are not very good.
In short, he is the most powerful in the world, which makes people cry and laugh.
A person can treat others and treat himself as a guest, and the world is an internal skill that needs to be cultivated for a lifetime. 3- The harmony of a family is more important than wealth, and a good marriage must be an increment of each other and not of each other. Consumption here includes money, including emotions, including love for life and the future.
One thing is very important: marriage must be the right person, and it must be able to have the same three views, so that they will not get tired of getting along. The almost identical family background and growth background are extremely powerful guarantees for the consistency of the three views. Otherwise, you will have to pay for the other person's various character flaws and short-sightedness, and in the midst of disappointments and struggles, you will consume the energy that you could have used to improve yourself.
It's a pity that many young people can't understand and don't understand, so to speak, many young people today have fallen into some kind of thinking or cognitive trap, and their marriage is destined to consume more than increase, so unhappy or even divorce is inevitable. 4- If your family of origin is extremely ordinary, it is not recommended to engage in medicine, finance, or even business. First of all, the medical profession is very "money-burning", and it needs the blessing of "social background" very muchAnd finance and business, you will face a lot of "drunken gold fans" and a lot of "sugar-coated shells", which is extremely high for personal self-requirements, if you lack "family education inheritance and material support" it is easy to "fall into the trap of desire" without paying attention.
Unless, of course, you aspire to be a saint.
5- Life has an end, but life does not. Life is one small goal after another, and you must learn to plan for yourself for one, three, and ten yearsThere is no one-size-fits-all solution, even if the family is superior, you must learn to continue to add bricks and tiles.
The stupidest education I have ever seen for children is "work hard, you can play casually when you are admitted to university" or "work hard to take the graduate school entrance examination, and everything will be fine when you go ashore";It's a typical duck catch, but the duck ends on the shelf today, and tomorrow it ends on the shelf, day after day, until one day it's on the shelf in the oven. But your life is not, learn to keep growing!
6- Don't take it in the straight, you need to ask for it in the song. When you first step into the society, you are often high-spirited and rampage, and use the most direct method to solve the problem;It's like chopping a bone with a kitchen knife, the bone is broken, but the blade is rolled and notched.
After being beaten by society, you start looking for all kinds of tricks and shortcuts, and you start to become slippery, lose your principles and even your conscience;Things may be well resolved, but the damage to people's hearts and minds cannot be repaired. Until one day, when I understood this society and became familiar with this rule, I finally became a part of this rule. If you understand both proportions and principles, you can not only solve the problem, but also protect yourself.
The greatest freedom an adult has in society is to be able to "move easily" between life, work, and personal and social purposes. 7- I am born to be useful, and most people can achieve something in their lives. Please remember that what Lushan said about achieving something is not how much money you make as a big official, but achieving your own value in the field you are good at and like.
The flow of wealth in this society is not equal, and the official rank is destined to be pyramid-shaped, which is destined to not everyone to be a big official and make a lot of money.
But since ancient times, there have been "tea saints", "book saints", "medicine saints", "medical saints", "kitchen gods" and so on, each person's endowment is different, the circumstances are different, the era is different, but three hundred and sixty lines, the line out of the champion, one thing to do the extreme, you are the "saint". So what makes you mediocre all your life, is it that you haven't found your shining point, can't find your favorite field, or haven't cultivated yourself into the top talent in the field you are good at?
The former is an objective cause, while the latter is more subjective. This sentence needs to be taken to heart.
8- A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step;Life is a process of precipitation. In my numerology career for so many years, I have found that no one will always be lucky, and no one will always be unlucky. Everyone's fortune is changing, and the fortune of Universiade is also changing, and it will not always be smooth, nor will it always be in adversity.
Life is a process of precipitation, but it is not only time that is precipitated, but also "kung fu" that is not bad mood;The kung fu here includes personal ability, transparency of human feelings, grasp of rules, and accumulation of assets. Our culture pays the most attention to "heat", if the heat is not enough, it is difficult to adjust the mouth, and after the heat is over, things are easy to burn. Life should be a natural process, and the title of the gold list in the 12-year cold window is accumulation;Three years of deep cultivation in the industry to be recognized, and advancement is accumulation;Ten years of hard work to buy a place for yourself is an accumulation.
9- Finally: If you are undecided, you can ask the gods.
But what you decide to do, what you have to do, is the guidance of God, and you don't need to ask again.
