Three Things for Prosperity in a Family
Understanding the value of reading books
In “Tam Hòe Đường Minh,” Thọ Tư wrote, “Loyalty will exist forever, poetry and books will also exist forever.”
In this world, there are millions of accumulated wealth and magnificent castles, but they are only temporary things.
A house can be a valuable asset, but it is not everything that is most beautiful. Something small but brings a lot of value is “books”.
Reading books can change temperament, improve social relationships, and nourish the soul.
Thọ Tư’s books not only help nourish intelligence and support development but also bring the best things to future generations.
Passing down good traditions to children
There is a saying, “People who teach by example will be followed by others, people who teach by words will be done by others.”
Teaching by words and learning from it is the best tradition of a family.
Because parents are the reflection of their children, and children are the shadows of their parents.
As a parent, you must have the right perspective, emotional stability, far-sightedness, righteous words and actions, and a good education.
Therefore, parents should be a good role model for their children, so that they can become better versions of themselves, and they will have a bright future.
The foundation of a family lies not in leaving many assets to future generations but in whether the good traditions of the family are passed down or not.
A harmonious family
Kinh Lễ wrote, “If the relationship between father and son is good, siblings are harmonious, and the love between spouses is deep, then the family will be prosperous.”
If a family works together, everything can be accomplished. If people live in harmony, the family will prosper.
People don’t crave wealth throughout their lives, they only hope for a loving father, filial children, harmonious siblings, and spouses who can compromise and accommodate each other.
Let’s not argue about trivial matters, let go of the past, and solve problems and discuss important matters together.
Building a family is difficult but losing it is easy, so beware of the “three vices” and manage the “three images.” Only with kindness, gentleness, thriftiness, and generosity can you have obedient children and a prosperous family.
In a family, if these three things are missing, the children will be poor:
1. Moral failure leads to disaster
If a family cannot maintain the three fundamental things, which are morals, merits, and virtues, it will be the foundation for a prosperous future for children. Conversely, moral failure will bring about unforeseen disasters.
In a conversation, Vi Lư once said, “A family that accumulates good deeds will always be happy, a family that accumulates bad deeds will face prolonged disasters.” Doing good and adhering to ethics means creating welfare for future generations. On the other hand, committing evil acts means leaving behind unpredictable disasters.
2. Not knowing how to save is self-destructive
A family with substantial assets can become anything if they do not know how to manage and spend money properly. Waste, extravagance, and laziness can plunge a family from prosperity into deep misery. Faced with diligence and thrift, assets can be preserved and developed. Conversely, excessive optimism can push a family into irretrievable loss.
3. Talking about family matters to outsiders
There is a proverb, “Don’t expose your family’s wealth to others, and don’t expose your family’s bad things to others.” Families should keep secrets about family issues and should not flaunt riches or tell bad stories.
This helps protect the family’s reputation and avoid unnecessary troubles. Although every family has conflicts, what matters is living in harmony and not creating family disputes, safeguarding the family’s integrity.
