There are rumors on the Internet, "Recently, Li Yapeng chatted with netizens in the live broadcast, looked lonely and began to shout poverty, saying that he had repaid his debts for more than ten years and had eaten takeaway for a week. He probably didn't intend to win the sympathy of netizens and get rewards for his situation, but just regarded live broadcast as a way of leisure and an outlet, just like watching TV and walking after dinner. But with his identity and fame, it is a little difficult for others to understand his sudden "gaffe". He regards eating takeout as the same pain as debt, and it also makes people feel that he is a little ignorant of the suffering of the world, it is natural to repay debts, but you don't necessarily have to order takeout when you are hungry, you can eat instant noodles, and you can go to the trash can.

It is not uncommon for an actor who was once famous and famous all over the country to be satirized for his gaffes on the Internet. According to The Psychology of Money, 40% of companies that were once successful and went public have lost all their value over time. On Forbes' list of the 400 richest people in the United States, about 20% of people disappear from the list every 10 years on average. The rich turn around and become beggars because the rich don't necessarily keep their money. "Getting rich and keeping rich are two completely different skills. It takes a sense of adventure, optimism, and the courage to give it a go. But what you need to do is the exact opposite of taking risks. Keeping rich requires humility and reverence, and you need to know how quickly wealth comes and how easy it goes. Staying rich requires frugality and acknowledging that part of the wealth you gain comes from luck, so don't expect to replicate past successes indefinitely. "The most important thing in business is to survive for a long time, not to be eliminated or forced to give up. "Survival should be the foundation of all your strategies, whether it's about investing, planning your career, or running a business. ”
Stills from "The Richest Man in Xihong City" Many stars filed for bankruptcy after losing their wealth, like Michael Jackson and Tyson, but Li Yapeng's experience is still very curious: How did he end up in such a field? Did he learn any lessons? Will he be able to make a comeback? Will fate give him another chance? In his book The Wisdom of Money, the French scholar Pascal Brücknet said: "In 1924, the pilots demobilized Melmoz from the army, and went through a tragic and dark period. When he threw the last su of his body into the sea and started from scratch again, his legend began......In the face of poverty, there are three attitudes:Disdain, superstition and risk-taking, i.e. starting over, beware of all randomness and back-to-back battles. Each time, you will choose an attitude towards luck: disdain or challenge. ”
Warren Buffett has "never allowed himself to go into debt" in his investment career. He didn't do anything to tarnish his business reputation. He doesn't rely on a single strategy, a single worldview, or a certain outdated fad. He doesn't rely on someone else's money (managing investments through a public company means investors can't withdraw their money). If Li Yapeng made a mistake in borrowing money to do business, it was right that he spent more than ten years slowly repaying his debts. In his essay, Bacon said, "If a man wants to make ends meet, he should spend only half of his income; If he wants to get rich, he should spend ...... one-third of his incomeIf everything is extravagant and wasteful, the decline of the family is inevitable. When it comes to paying off debts, rushing to make progress is just as harmful as long-term arrears, because hasty selling of property to repay debts is generally just as disadvantageous as borrowing money to pay off debts with interest. Not to mention that people who pay off their debts at once will repeat the mistakes of the pastBecause if you find yourself out of the situation, you will repeat the same old tricks. However, if he pays off his debts little by little, he will develop the habit of frugality, and his spirit and wealth will grow. ”
It's All Good" stills, we can compare the experience of American writer Mark Twain and Li Yapeng. The book "How You Can't Get Rich: The Financial Disaster of Mark Twain" saysAmerican writer Mark Twain "spent most of his life haunted by the enticing prospect of acquiring great wealth." "He always wanted to get rich, and although he made a class leap through marriage, his dream never came true. Around the age of twenty, in Nevada, Mark Twain and a friend crouched in the woods, ready to claim that they had the right to harvest that woodland. It was a shrewd plan, but unfortunately Mark Twain started a fire that burned the woods to the ground. Twain had a little better luck in Virginia, Nevada, and when he got there, it was in a booming period. He wrote for Territorial Enterprise, currying favor with wealthy speculators by touting their mines in the newspapers. They gave him a generous ** again, until a stock market crash made his ** worthless. He had no choice but to move to a shack in an abandoned town. Twain had a glimmer of hope in poverty: it encouraged him to write. A fool told him a story that would later become The Famous Jumping Frog of Calaveras County, his first book. After that, he became a famous humorist and married a rich girl, but he had a weakness, that is, he liked to invest in all kinds of so-called inventions, and he was repeatedly deceived, what drilling machines, vaporizers.
Mr. Mayor stills After the publication of Grant's biography and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Mark Twain's publishing house went bankrupt. In 1894, he himself went bankrupt. Later, with his successful work and speaking tour, he stabilized his financial situation, but he lost a lot of money by investing in protein powder. Mark Twain was always happy to "try something crazy, laugh it off when it fails, and move on." ”We admire those ordinary people, who come and go in the wind and rain, save money, save money by doing odd jobs or even picking up rags, pay off huge debts, and do not seek to be famous for centuries and reach the world, but to look up to the world and have a clear conscience. A businessman who wants to prove himself, don't take feelings as proof of immunity for mistakes, crazy, failed, it's better to come to your senses, you don't have three heads and six arms, only seven emotions and six desires, enemies everywhere, and one shot and two scattered.
