This is a collection of famous quotes I found online, with an unknown source; but the content is worth savoring and has been specially saved. As for its accuracy, it truly varies from person to person, depending on individual values and beliefs.
Whether you are a man or a woman, if you want to succeed in life, here are the things you must do:
This is a realistic society where emotions cannot be eaten as food, and poverty brings endless troubles to couples. Don’t believe in the plots of movies; they Eisenhower they’re just places for strangers to vent their emotions. Only irrational and unrealistic people believe in them.
Set goals for yourself—one year, two years, five years. You may not have been born with the best circumstances, but through effort, you can change 70% of your fate. Giving up and breaking down will only make you friends with cowardice.
When friends treat you to a meal, don’t take it for granted. Reciprocate, or your reputation will suffer.
Among your good friends, make sure to cultivate at least one true confidant. Don’t think you’re so charming that everyone is your friend; in the end, only one person will truly care about you—believe me.
Don’t believe in fortune-telling, horoscopes, or fate. Those are for fooling kids. Your destiny is in your own hands. Waiting at home for a house or a car is worse than dreaming a good dream.
Don’t interact too much with people you don’t like, but never speak ill of them behind their backs. Gossips are troublemakers—remember, trouble comes from the mouth.
Don’t play too many games. This isn’t South Korea—you won’t game your way to a house, car, or wealth. It’s okay to have hobbies, but know your limits. Avoid highly addictive games like Farmville,牧場, or card games. A high level in a game doesn’t mean success; it just takes up time you could use to succeed.
Everyone has laziness—it’s innate. But we can change it because many people do. Don’t wait for others to succeed at something before you think of doing it. Don’t wait until others have made money to start. Nobody believes in markets and opportunities until they’re obvious—then it’s just inflation.
Know what you want to do. In the quiet of the night, ask yourself about your future plans and work toward them, instead of wasting time on meaningless things.
There’s always a way out if you keep moving forward. Difficulties only trap you if you stay stuck at home.
As a woman, don’t rely on your age or think a career isn’t your concern, believing your role is just washing clothes, cooking, or raising kids—that’s a huge mistake.
To be a good person, prioritize filial piety, teach children morals, maintain harmony with your spouse, and enjoy lasting happiness. But these aren’t just words. In the early days of liberation, achieving this required great effort and hardship. In today’s realistic society, it demands significant money. Smart people understand this.
Don’t spend free time online doing pointless things or playing meaningless games. Read literature, learn about business operations, management standards, global affairs, or legal knowledge. This ensures you’ll always have something to talk about at gatherings.
It’s better to miss a thousand pieces of information than to pass up a single opportunity for success. Only then will you avoid buying regret pills.
Before succeeding, don’t tell others about your plans. After success, you won’t need to—everyone will know. That’s the effect of the information age.
Keep your hair, nails, and beard well-groomed. Society is a selective entity, and the world needs very few artists. Don’t take the risk—even if long hair looks good, aim to appear clean.
Don’t think that as a man, you don’t need self-care. At least watch your diet. Eat more tomatoes, seafood, leeks, and bananas—foods beneficial to men’s health. If you don’t see the value, let me tell you: you’ll save money on medical bills to buy more cosmetics for your woman.
Ambitious people shouldn’t rely on others. People are selfish—you are your most reliable ally.
When facing failure, don’t dwell on it. Great responsibilities come after trials of the mind, body, and spirit. Learn to take responsibility, find the cause, and break bad habits. No money at 20 is normal; at 30, it might be a lack of good background, requiring more effort; at 40, you need to find the reason yourself. Poor people can become rich—it’s possible and likely. But staying poor forever is also certain for some—it’s a matter of choice.
Everyone has a chance to succeed! It depends on whether you give yourself that chance.
Remember, those who watch TV for over three hours a day on average earn less than 50,000 yuan a month. If you want to earn more, don’t waste time on TV. The same goes for those who play online games or chat for over three hours daily—they also earn less than 50,000 yuan.
Poor people are many, and they lack money, so they chat and complain online to pass the time. Have you ever seen a company boss or manager constantly chatting on Facebook? (Ryan: Actually, some do XD)
In this world, a small group of people dominates the news—newspapers, TV, and street gossip are all about them. They seem to control everything. Your goal should be to become one of these people.
If you truly love your parents or partner, strive and fight for success. Only then will you have the ability, financial means, and free time to be with them and love them well.
This society is about fast fish eating slow fish, not the other way around. It’s winner-takes-all, and losers get nothing. Society only judges by success or failure.
If you ask ten people around you and nine don’t know something, it’s an opportunity. If nine know, it’s just an industry.
In any industry or market, the first movers eat the meat, and the latecomers don’t even get soup.
The world’s top talents can turn a third-rate project into second-rate or better, but third-rate talents will ruin even a first-rate project.
While you’re young, travel and see the world. Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, and traveling is not as good as meeting countless people.
When interacting with others, listen more and talk less. That’s why God gave us one mouth and two ears. (Ryan: This is definitely plagiarized XD)
Be the last to play your cards, surprising others when they think you’re about to lose. That’s how you win the game.
Don’t act arrogant. The best way to deal with arrogant people is to quietly knock them down with a brick from behind.
Don’t swear casually—it makes you seem unrefined, and people won’t want to associate with you. Even if they do, it’s superficial, as they’ll think you’re low-class.
When you want to smoke, ask those around you if it’s okay. Learn to respect others. Don’t smoke to look cool in front of women—they secretly dislike it.
When buying clothes, choose them yourself. Don’t let family buy for you. Your first or second choices might not be great, but you’ll develop taste over time.
To improve, learn from mistakes. Successful experiences are often distorted—winners can say anything. Losers have no voice, but you can reflect on their examples and learn. Lessons come from both yourself and others.
Keep learning. Visit bookstores and read about management, finance, marketing, relationships, and future trends. Competition is fierce—without learning, you’ll be eliminated. In late 2008, over a million Chinese college graduates couldn’t find jobs. Competition is that intense, so realize that graduating college isn’t the end of learning—it’s the beginning. I recommend a great video program, Who’s Coming to Lunch.
If you’re not a singer, painter, or performance artist, pay attention to your attire. In today’s society, clothing shows which group or circle you belong to.
If a young person has no ideas for three years, their life will likely stay the same with little change.
Success comes from courage and boldness. I once overheard someone on a train talking about Wenzhou people’s success, summing it up in three words: “Big guts.” That’s courage, and the ability to take action and let go is boldness.
Whether or not you work in sales, read books on marketing. In life, you’re always selling and showcasing yourself.
Communicate and connect with friends regularly, not just when you need their help. In society, you’ll realize how hard it is to find a true friend.
To know your future annual income, take the incomes of your six closest friends, average them, and that’s roughly yours. This shows that birds of a feather flock together.
Set a five-year goal and break it down into yearly, half-yearly, quarterly, and monthly goals. This way, you’ll find your direction and purpose.
Always remember dignity. Be a person of principles and boundaries, or no one will respect you.
If I could give you one piece of advice, it’s this: There’s no free lunch in this world. Never take shortcuts!
