I don't have that kind of luck myself, but I envy those who make money from luck. By Anonymous | Published on December 23, 2024

I often hear people say online: "What? A women's wear business can make millions in profit.

Exporting jewelry made 8 million in a single year. Making feed made millions in annual profit.

Mining in Africa earns tens of millions of dollars a year. Online platforms make millions in profits every year.

What else? Garlic exports and dental clinics, with annual profits of millions. I don't know if it's true or not.

In short, everyone makes millions of dollars in profit every year. It makes people feel impetuous.

It's obviously hard to make money. How can there be so many people who get rich easily by doing some unskilled work?

Hello, question asker! I just wanted to say that I'm an old skinny donkey.

The fast pace of life can make people impatient, and online articles that grab your attention and promise overnight riches can be very tempting.

If money was that easy to make, there would already be a lot more rich people around. Why are there still so many ordinary people?

And even if it were really that easy to make money, how could he possibly give away such a golden egg idea for free like Lei Feng? It would be like bidding for Warren Buffett's lunch.

If you read these articles carefully, you'll see that either there will be advertisements mixed in with the text or the article will end with a training message that will simply make you spend money on learning or attract advertisements.

I'd recommend that the questioner takes a close look at these articles and content to make sure they don't end up losing money by going for the wrong solution in a panic.

There's no such thing as getting rich overnight or turning stones into gold. Even those who've made it have faced challenges along the way.

To succeed, you've got to be down-to-earth, set the right goals, and stick with it.

I'd like to share a quote from my leader that has guided me: "If you work one centimeter wide and one kilometer deep, you will eventually achieve something." It's important to note that direction is more important than effort!

Even though Lei Jun once said, "A pig can fly if it stands in the right place," the truth is that when the wind dies down, the higher you fly, the harder you fall. Even if you are lucky enough to achieve success, you will lose it if your character doesn't match your achievements. You still need to aim high, but stay grounded!

Hello, I'm Zeyu.

From what the questioner says, it seems like he has his own way of seeing how successful these people are and how he himself has been lucky.

There's a lot of information out there about how to make money. You see endless examples of people earning tens of thousands a month or even millions a year. You see young people succeeding against the odds and turning things around. Why are we so tempted by this information and become restless? We know that making money is difficult, but we still fantasize that if I have this kind of luck, I can do it too.

We can't forget about survivor bias. It's the idea that we ignore the fact that the people we see are the ones who made it through the storm. We subconsciously ignore failure cases because the scenarios online are too tempting and beautiful. If we see numbers, it's normal people from 1 to 10 and then slowly rising, with expenses along the way to hinder the process.

The scenarios we see online are like the exciting plots of novels, going from 1 to 10 directly to 100 or even 1,000. They don't show the various problems and negative effects that would arise, and they present us with a mode of "unlimited money." Entrepreneurship is made so simple and money is made so easily, so how could we not be tempted? It's hard for us to make money, so we look at how much money other people make and think they're "lucky."

But that's not what's going on. What we're seeing is something that the other person has deliberately or intentionally presented to us. Since it's so profitable, why are they posting it online? Apart from the mentality of showing off wealth, isn't it better to make a fortune quietly? The deliberately maintained persona also explains the problem.

I hope this article helps answer the question.

Online information can be true or false, and it's important to learn to distinguish between the two. Many stories about people who suddenly make millions without any prior fame are false. They're designed to create anxiety and panic, which can make it easier for scammers to take advantage of you. They also often arouse your desire for money.

We've all been there! Using big data to send multiple rounds of push notifications, over time you will become impatient and will inevitably inquire about how other people make money. This can lead to you falling into other people's traps and being exploited.

"It's obviously hard to make money, so how come there are so many people who get rich so easily in industries with no technical content?" I agree wholeheartedly that it is hard to make money. In any industry, the truly profitable ones often account for no more than 20%. The 80/20 rule in economics can explain many things in life. Industries with no technical content are even less profitable.

If money were really that easy to come by, there wouldn't be more than 600 million people in China who earn less than 5,000 yuan a month.

We may not have that same luck, but we can't help but admire those who seem to make money effortlessly. In reality, though, those who make money by "luck" are actually deceiving themselves. They're not as lucky as they think!

I truly believe that true luck is a kind of strength. When you are strong, things come easily to you, and your luck will naturally get better and better. You will make more and more money!

I wish you all the best!

In this era of rapid development, we are truly blessed! Not only are we enjoying a greater abundance of material wealth than ever before, but we are also experiencing a greater abundance of inner peace and happiness than ever before.

I often feel restless and unhappy too, but I'm excited to see what the future holds!

When you compare yourself to others, it's easy to feel like you could have achieved so much more with just a small goal or a few million. But think about it this way: if you work hard for 30 years, you can retire with seven or eight million!

It's precisely because life is challenging and not easy, and because we all experience so much suffering, that we feel so inspired by the success of others.

But I think that the information age, an age centered on humanity, has brought about a wonderful thing: it has magnified our arrogance in our hearts and confused our rational cognition.

I can wear the same clothes as Mark Zuckerberg, and he doesn't look that different from me in front of the camera. But here's the exciting part: the probability of me becoming Mark Zuckerberg is probably about the same as rebelling and becoming emperor in ancient times!

Modern media and material life have confused us, but they've also opened our eyes to new possibilities! Success may seem easy, but it's actually a challenge that many of us are excited to take on.

At the same time, in our era, everyone is eager to succeed, and the media exaggerates success, so impetuosity—impetuosity that conforms to human nature—fills all the information we receive. We no longer appreciate tragedy, we no longer tolerate failure, and we no longer admire heroes who fail.

So in this era, we have the incredible opportunity to magnify our internal suffering and pain, while the environment is relaxed. This environment is the greatest common divisor that conforms to human nature!

Go for it! Make your desires a reality!

At the same time, it's amazing how quickly we remember extreme things, and peer pressure is also becoming increasingly important.

We get to shape our sense of self through the amazing interactions we have with others. Apart from our parents, our closest relationships are with our peers, with whom we share the most similarities and interactions. So their success or failure also affects our judgment of our own success or failure—and that's a great thing!

But everyone shows their best side, and we are most likely to remember the best or worst moments of others. This is reflected in life as success. Only those who have earned millions are remembered, which makes us overestimate the success of others and underestimate our own achievements. But that just means there's room for improvement!

And just as someone who goes to work conscientiously is instead rated as lazy here,

We are so irritable and so restless precisely because success is so difficult, life is so hard, and what we have worked so hard for is a worthless, ordinary life. But we can change that! We can be happy and excited about our lives again. We can find success in our ordinary lives. We can make our lives worthwhile. We can make our lives extraordinary. We can do it!

So, my current thinking is:

First, stay aware and realize that success is difficult and that you are just an ordinary person—and that's a good thing!

Second, remember that the life you have now is a great one! It's the result of all your hard work. If you're still not satisfied, keep pushing yourself. If you find it challenging to make even greater changes, it simply means you've reached the limits of your abilities. So, keep doing your best at work and in your career!

Third, stop comparing! All we know is what the media and others want us to know. Many things are difficult to verify, but that just means there's room for imagination and creativity!

Money and material things are great, but there's so much more to life! It's important to make life better and more beautiful while meeting your basic needs and being able to withstand major risks.

Fourth, I have been trying to establish my own coordinate system, and it's going well! As I gradually get used to it, I'm learning that it requires a long-term accumulation process. And the achievements of a lifetime are likely to be worthless compared to those of a genius—but I'm still accumulating, and I'm excited to see what the future holds!

It's in our nature to improve our economic and material conditions and do our best. We are responsible for our families and ourselves, and we should continue to try to establish our own evaluation system of coordinates. Let's fill our lives with more beautiful, favorite things that do not necessarily have economic value. Let's not put a price tag on everything in our lives. Many things have no price or are worthless or very valuable. As long as they make us happy and peaceful, then that is what we should pursue. On top of the material foundation, we need to nourish our souls. Only our inner coordinates know what we want, and it's exciting to find out!

Hello, question asker!

From what you've said, it seems like you're feeling a bit reluctant and envious. Is that right? At the same time, you're able to recognize these feelings in yourself, listen to positive ways to find a breakthrough, and learn to talk about them. This is great!

You mentioned how you saw someone online asking, "How do you make money at this? How do you make money at that?"

So you feel confused and envious at the same time?

I just want to say that this feeling is totally normal. Most people feel this way. We all want a good life. When our lives aren't as good as others, we feel envious. It's normal.

When you say you don't have that kind of luck, it seems like you feel a bit lost and stuck. I'd like to ask you to think about why you feel this way. Do you think other people are lucky?

Speaking of luck, being physically healthy and mentally healthy and able to live a life free of illness and injury is also a kind of good luck, don't you think?

I don't know the specifics of your situation, but based on what you've told me, I have a few suggestions that I hope will help you see the light at the end of the tunnel and find your own happiness sooner rather than later.

First, adjust your mindset.

While it's normal to envy a good life, dwelling on it is unproductive. Instead, adjust your mindset to focus on yourself, do what you can, and do your best in everything you do. With time, you'll become the person you want to be.

And then, focus on doing the things you're good at.

I don't know all the details of your situation, but I think you should also want a better life, so it's normal to envy others. What we need to do is not envy others, but focus on doing what we like, because in the things we are good at and like, we are likely to gain a sense of accomplishment. Over time, this will gradually boost our self-confidence. When we are confident, we will no longer pay attention to the achievements of others, but focus on doing our own things and make achievements of our own.

Second, believe in the power of accumulation.

There are plenty of people in life who are as lucky as you say, but most of us are ordinary folks who rely on our hard work and accumulation to achieve success. So what we have to do is believe in the power of accumulation, make a little progress every day, and over time we will always achieve our desired goals.

Next, believe in yourself.

Believing in ourselves is what gives us support and confidence. Only when we believe in ourselves can we be motivated, dare to break through, dare to try, and have the opportunity to get the life we want. Believe and firmly believe that we can definitely do it. There is a saying that goes, "If you keep thinking about it, it will happen." When you believe in yourself so firmly, your dreams will come to you.

Finally, I want to tell you that there are outstanding people in every industry, but not everyone is like that. What we have to do is do our own thing steadily, constantly improve ourselves, and no matter what others say, whether we believe it or not, it actually has nothing to do with us. When we focus on our own hearts and on the things we want to do, our hearts will become wider and wider, and we will become peaceful. This is more conducive to our progress and success.

Hello, questioner!

From your question, it seems like you're waiting for someone else to make a fortune, as if this opportunity will never come to you. I can also see that you're feeling a bit negative and doubtful about yourself, and I can sense that for someone like you who has no skills, it might seem like this is not something that could happen to you. I can understand your feelings of collapse and loss, but I also see the potential for something great!

But here's the thing: from another perspective, these facts might not be true. They could just be made up by others and not witnessed by us. So, before we can believe that such things exist, we need to confirm their authenticity. If they are true, then we also need to understand that such people do not become like that easily. It just means that they may have made some profits in investing in this matter, but they may also have paid a lot of costs before, and there may be situations where they lose out. So this is something we cannot know. But here's the exciting part: doing anything requires hard work and effort. We also need to see how to do this matter reasonably so as not to lose money.

Now for the fun part! Here's how you can solve it:

[1] It's time to start seeing your own thoughts and learning to distinguish whether they're correct!

Sometimes we limit ourselves with our own thoughts. Maybe it's because we've listened to other people's words, or maybe it's because of our own perceptions and thinking. But here's the good news: we can change our thoughts! And we can confirm whether a thought is correct for ourselves. Everyone's thoughts are different. We need to have our own firm and correct thoughts in order to see what kind of impact things have on us.

[2] There's no such thing as luck in the world!

I firmly believe that luck is a byproduct of hard work. Just as you might think someone has made a lot of money or won the lottery, it's likely that they invested a great deal of time and effort into their success. And who knows? You could be next! All you need is some determination and a willingness to put in the work.

[3] Learn to be aware of your emotions and soothe your inner self!

It's so important to understand your emotions! Once you can see your emotions, understand why they arise, and identify the reasons for these emotions, you can start to find some countermeasures to adjust your state. And it's also essential to see what kind of thoughts you have about your future and what kind of decisions need to be made to make the best choices for yourself.

I really hope the above comments are helpful!

Timothy Davis A person's success is measured by their ability to transform failure into a triumph.

I can totally relate to your feelings. It's overwhelming to see so much success around, especially when it seems like these businesses are making huge profits without much effort. Makes you wonder what the secret is and why it feels so out of reach for some.

Freya Maitland The process of learning is more important than the outcome.

Hearing about all these success stories can be both inspiring and frustrating. On one hand, it shows there are opportunities out there. On the other hand, it's easy to feel left behind or think that getting rich is just a matter of choosing the right business. Reality is usually more complex.

Molly Thomas When in doubt, tell the truth.

It's true that certain industries can be very profitable, but it's important not to overlook the risks and hard work involved. Behind every successful business, there's usually a lot of dedication, knowledge, and sometimes a bit of luck. Not everyone publicizes their failures or the challenges they faced along the way.

avatar
Marina Anderson The essence of time is in its fleeting nature.

The internet tends to amplify success stories, which can create a skewed perception of how easy it is to make money. In reality, building a profitable business takes time, effort, and often a unique skill set. It's good to be inspired, but also realistic about the journey ahead.
