Most of us strive to make money and become rich. Money represents the value of labor, intellectual prowess, and the value it brings to society. Money also represents the energy of a person. Most people like money, but not everyone can earn it. According to the teachings of the ancients, money will come to those with the following traits:
Working hard
The rich are usually hardworking and able to endure hardships. We often think that the rich just sit and enjoy their wealth without realizing that they have gone through a period of hard work and exertion before reaping the rewards. There is a saying in the book “Cách Ngôn Liên Bích” that “If you walk every day, you will not fear a thousand miles; if you walk regularly, you will not fear a thousand things.”
Working hard helps you accumulate experience and assets. People who are ambitious and talented but lazy and unwilling to turn talent into work will not achieve anything. A hardworking person will focus on their work, with no time for meaningless daydreaming, and their energy level is always high. Money will be attracted to such energy and will come to those who work hard.
Continuously learning and expanding perspectives
Knowledge is the compass that guides you in the right direction. A hardworking person without vision and knowledge will find it difficult to go beyond their limits. People can only make money within their own vision. To earn more money, you must expand your perspective and broaden your knowledge. And the only way to do that is through continuous learning. When you improve your knowledge and expand your perspective, you will add value to create money.
Arrogant and conservative people who refuse to expand their knowledge and learn will always remain in their old position, limiting themselves. Meanwhile, life is always changing. Therefore, those who make money are those who are not afraid of age, not afraid to learn and expand. The larger the world in your heart and mind, the more money you will earn and the richer you will become.
Ethics will keep money
When it comes to getting rich, people often think that you have to be cunning. But life has its karma, so getting rich through deceitful means, lacking ethics, will eventually lead to ruin. On the other hand, those who work diligently, have vision, and have ethics will find it difficult to get rich overnight, but they will progress steadily and have a good reputation and blessings, hence a solid foundation for long-term prosperity.
Those who do not uphold ethics will gradually lose their credibility, and money will slowly drift away. The Book of Changes says, “Virtue mismatches in position will surely lead to trouble,” meaning that virtue that does not match the position will surely face disaster.
People who have had wealth for generations and live prosperous lives are those who have high ethics. Everything in the world operates according to the laws of Virtue, and Virtue will promote everything to develop in a good direction. If a person works honestly, has ethics, and brings benefits to others, they will have wealth and a fulfilling life. Therefore, live with integrity, do good work without expecting rewards.
Physiognomy says that character is born from the heart. The appearance of wealth and prosperity is not immutable; it will change when there are changes within one’s heart. Everyone wants to have wealth, but the only sustainable path to wealth is through labor. To earn more money, one must work hard, learn, and maintain their own ethical credibility. With that, both the heavens and people will bless, and those who hold onto these qualities will surely become rich, and money will come to them.
