Human beings are social animals and cannot exist independently of society.
People should take the initiative to link with society, breaking the South Heavenly Gate alone, this is a mythical story.
If people want to succeed, connections are an inseparable factor.

In The Nature of Poverty, the author lists a whole host of reasons why poor people are poor.
One of them is that the poor don't understand the importance of saving and managing their money.
"We're a little naïve and overconfident in thinking that we're capable of doing the right thing in the future. ”
It is precisely because of this blind self-confidence that the poor can only see the present and cannot see or do not want to see the future.
The difference between the poor and the rich is that the poor have less money and the goal is expensive.

Finally, we share a few words from Gang Master Joe to understand the true meaning of freedom:
Remembering that I am going to die soon is the most important tool I have in the face of life's heavy timing. Because, almost everything—all outside expectations, all pride, all fears of embarrassment and failure—these things vanished in the face of death, leaving only what really mattered. Remembering that I'm going to die is the best way I know how to avoid falling into the trap of thinking I'm going to lose something. You have nothing, and there's no reason why you shouldn't follow your heart.
