Everyone has desires, and no one wants to be poor all his life.

However, desire is like a sword, with good, can be "invincible", with bad, is in self-harm.

When people reach middle age, a thought is a demon and a thought is a Buddha. In the end how to live a good life now, lies in their own choice, more need to work hard toss.

To have ambition, but also to control ambition, grasp the balance between the two, is a kind of wisdom, is also a kind of self-control.

Low life, middle-aged self-discipline. Who can control the desire, who can achieve a better own. It is not money that defeats a man, but uncontrollable desire.

Ruin a person, often from the beginning of extravagance.

The day before yesterday afternoon, A Wei, an old classmate, invited people to dinner. After eating, he asked someone to sing again. They didn't go home until after eleven o 'clock at night.

A Wei is the boss of an electronics factory. The electronics factory is small, with only a dozen employees, but Ah Wei thinks he is a big deal. He often boasts that his "monthly income is over 20,000 yuan".

With money in his pocket, Ah Wei not only likes to eat and drink with friends, but also love outside of marriage.

"Finding a confidante is a standard match for rich people," he said. I can do that now, no offense."

It's hard to make money, easy to spend it. One day, Ah Wei will destroy himself because of his reckless spending.

In fact, Ah Wei's marriage was on the red light, and the profits of the electronics factory were also declining, but he did not wake up.

In our side, there are often such people: the monthly income of more than ten thousand yuan, but the deposit is not a penny; Driving a car that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, with loans that exceed the price of the car; As soon as you start your own business, you try your best to brag about yourself and present yourself as a big boss.

People to the middle age, buy a house and a car, love outside marriage, lavish spending, it seems to be a very face thing. However, the discerning people know that money to buy face, but it is money to buy suffering, the final outcome, is to destroy their own.

Ah Wei often brags about himself among his classmates: "I spent more than 50,000 yuan on Valentine's Day. What do you think I did with it?"

Of course, no one was interested in guessing how he spent his money, but his deep hypocrisy was evident.

Without some foresight, one is bound to run into trouble afterwards. Really smart people, think long term, are always looking for ways to save money and ways to make their business bigger and stronger.

No one knows which comes first, tomorrow or the accident. But you have money in your pocket and you live a simple life, and it doesn't matter who comes first, because you're always prepared for the unexpected and you know everything.

In middle age, your control is your life.

"Yi Zhuan · Wen Yan Chuan · Kun Wen Yan" wrote: "a good family, there will be Yu Qing, poor family, there will be more than disaster."

What is good? On the one hand, it means to be kind to others and sincerely help others. On the other hand, it means to be kind to yourself and make your life better.

If you can't control how fast you spend, you're doing yourself a disservice. When you are struggling, just remember how stupid they were before, spend their own money, please others, raise others' eyes.

Let's say you buy a piece of clothing that costs tens of thousands of dollars. When you wear it out, people will praise you. But what about yourself? You don't necessarily feel warm. A lot of clothes are pretty but not useful.

Smart people, good at controlling their spending speed, always live a rhythm of life.

If the passbook is compared to a pond, then making money is the source of running water, spending money is the outlet.

When people reach middle age, to raise money and reduce expenditure means to make the water at the source bigger and the outlet smaller. Small stream to Jianghai, Yongxing to thousands of miles.

My little uncle, once said this sentence: "Save ten dollars a day, a year will have 3,600 dollars in savings. If you insist on ten years, you are also ten thousand yuan households."

We always think that it is difficult to earn 10,000 yuan, but it is really not difficult, but you can not control the speed of spending money. No matter what your monthly income is, you can always save ten dollars a day. Ten yuan, equivalent to the cost of a pack of cigarettes, a box lunch.

However, it becomes difficult for a person to keep saving all year round. "Difficult", but also rare things, is a kind of admirable self-discipline.

When people reach middle age, who can insist on living a low life, who will have a better future.

People in middle age, how strong self-control, how good the future. The simpler the life, the more noble.

Low match life, hiding the best middle-aged self-discipline.

The mountain is not high, there is a fairy name. The water is not deep, there is a dragon spirit.

The house does not care how big, warm is good; The car does not care how expensive, can shelter the rain on the line; Clothes don't care how attractive, can keep warm.

Last weekend, I went fishing with several colleagues in a reservoir in the mountains.

Beside the reservoir, there is a simple old house, where two old people live.

A colleague said: "You must be very poor to live in such a remote place. How can they live a good life?"

I said, "I don't think so. Maybe they're richer than we are."

At noon, there was smoke in the old house.

Having nothing to do, we went to the old house and talked to the old man. The old man said, "My son runs a factory in Shenzhen and seldom comes back all year round. He bought two apartments in the county seat, but we don't want to live there. The city is too noisy."

When people get old, they go back to their hometown with their beloved ones, live in the old house, live the life of sunrise and work, the day and the breath, this is the dream we pursue.

So low, so noble; So humble, so rich.

Sometimes, we are blinded by the desire, thinking that the more things we have, the more happy we will be. However, the more things we have, the more useless things we have. The desire in the heart, also can make a person feel very tired.

Middle-aged people, control the inner desire, retain the wealth, the future will be more happy.

People in this life, do not have to pay for desire.
