The Relationship Between Wealth and Effort

Wealth never comes out of nowhere; it is the natural result of long-term accumulation. The benefactors you encounter are not accidental; they are attracted by your steadiness and reliability. The opportunities you seize are not blown in by the wind; you have prepared in advance and thus qualify to catch them.

Small wealth depends on diligence, moderate wealth on virtue, and great wealth on momentum. Being diligent and hardworking helps you establish a stable footing; having good character allows you to go further. However, understanding the trends of the times and continuously enhancing your knowledge enable you, in two or three years, to achieve what others spend a lifetime striving for. The so-called "windfall" is simply another way of describing the realization of awareness.

Wealth begins in the mind and is realized through action. Your reaching this point is no coincidence; it proves that you have never given up on your efforts. Congratulations. As long as you keep improving and patiently build your foundation, the wealth meant for you will arrive as promised someday.
