Facts have verified that the "class inheritance" of the family directly shapes the fate of offspring
When pursuing a degree, you need to pay attention to your personal background;When entering the workforce to find a job, relationships are key;When it comes to marriage and choosing a spouse, the right pair of people is a considerationAnd when you are looking for a promotion and salary increase in the workplace, you need to rely on a strong back-office ......
These seemingly unrelated things actually all have one thing in common: social class. The class of an individual determines the resources, social status, mate choices, relationships, social circles, future prospects, and destiny that individuals are able to have.
What is class?The above explanation is a hierarchical structure formed by the differences in status, power, wealth, etc., between different groups in society.
In other words, a person's class is determined by his wealth, social status, and the amount of resources he has. Otherwise, we wouldn't have heard of the concept of the "rule of twenty-eight".
The so-called 28 rule is that 20% of the people own 80% of the resources, and 80% can only compete with the remaining 20% of the resources. The former belong to the elite, while the latter are ordinary people.
However, there is a question at hand: can the class be changed?
Yes, classes are variable, because classes are fluid. That is, today you may be in the lower class, and tomorrow you may be in the middle class. Of course, it is very difficult to become a high class.
Even the middle class, upper middle class, or upper class may seem rich at one moment, but the next moment, due to failed investments, wrong choices, or blind decisions, they may be mired in debt and fall into the lower class overnight.
Some people may say that since the class is mobile, why is it easy to fall from the high class to the low class, but it is so difficult to move from the low class to the middle class and the high class?
This question is actually quite understandable. If you have a fortune of 100 million, you are considered a high-class class, but if you fail in investment and entrepreneurship, go bankrupt overnight, and are eliminated by the market, then your 100 million wealth may disappear without a trace in an instant.
On the contrary, if you start from the lower class and make a fortune of 100 million, it will be very difficult, and most people may not be able to achieve their goal of becoming billionaires.
It is relatively easy to lose 100 million fortunes, but it is difficult to earn 100 million. In other words, it is relatively easy to fall from the middle class and high yield to low yield, while it is an arduous task to be promoted from low yield to middle class and high yield, which requires a comprehensive condition of "timing, location, and people".
Because it is relatively easy to move from the upper class to the lower class, and because it is difficult to move from the lower class to the higher class, the "class" is often passed down from parents to children.
We often hear two words, the first generation and the second generation of wealth. The first generation passes on the family business to the children, so that they become the rich second generation, which is essentially passing on the class to the next generation.
Of course, whether the rich second generation can keep these wealth is another matter. The so-called "it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to keep a business" is this truth.
The first generation of entrepreneurs usually gradually climbs from the lower class to the higher class, while the second generation of those who keep their jobs are the lucky ones who inherit the former. If they don't have their parents' family business as a foundation, they may not even be qualified to become a rich second generation.
Let's take a simple example. Xiao A was born in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and his parents are local aborigines and are in the middle class, so Xiao A has the identity of the middle class as soon as he was born. On the contrary, if Little C was born in a poor rural area, then he is destined to be a low-class class.
Some people may say that the gap between the middle class in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen and the low class in poor rural areas is too great. And this disparity is reflected in the fact that a house owned by the former may be worth millions or even tens of millions, while the latter is difficult to reach this level.
Some people are born in Rome, while others never make it to Rome in their lifetime. A person's reincarnation skills are very important and basically determine the upper and lower limits of his life.
There is an old saying: "Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the children of mice make holes." ”
If you are a dragon, your offspring is a dragon, and his fate depends on his talent. Importantly, he inherited the identity of the dragon son from birth.
If you are a phoenix, your child will be a phoenix, and her future will depend on her talents. The key is that she was given the identity of a phoenix girl as soon as she was born.
Some people may feel that if my child eventually surpasses his child, doesn't that mean that my child has been promoted to the social class?Indeed it is. However, how to win against the competition is a big question.
Taking the Chu and Han hegemony as an example, Xiang Yu is a descendant of the prominent nobles of the Chu State, while Liu Bang is a low-level gangster. At first, Xiang Yu stood in the high position of the nobles and looked down on Liu Bang in every way.
With Liu Bang's victory over Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu killed himself, and Liu Bang founded the Han Dynasty. Xiang Yu's class disappeared, and Liu Bang was promoted to become the new darling of society.
Children from ordinary families may be at a disadvantage at first than children from wealthy families. However, whether they can surpass their opponents later depends on their respective intelligences, and they need to show their talents.
At present, a phenomenon is becoming more and more obvious, the children of ordinary families are still ordinary, and the children of wealthy families are still rich. How so?Because the latter has become smarter.
In the past, most of the wealthy people were nouveau riche, lacking culture and knowledge, so they often acted irrationally, resulting in the reality of "no more than three generations of wealth".
Today's wealthy have received a high level of education, know how to follow the rules, and become smarter. They are no longer blindly showing off and tossing in a high-profile manner, so they can keep their social status and not fall for the time being.
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, everything is uncertain. Even those who are born into the ordinary class need not be discouraged, because there is always hope.
