Every gambling must lose
Editor’s note: This article is from WeChat public account “Ray Xiansen” (ID :RayZhang1993), author Ray Xiansen.
Ray Xiansen said: Fast success is the most popular spiritual poison for young people in this era, but few people can think of it after drinking it. How much will it cost himself. Today’s article talks to you about a person who is very eager to win and wins, and finally how to lose the story.
Recently watching the 2019 Nobel Prize in Economics, the theme of this year’s Nobel Prize winning theme is also very interesting:
The three award-winning economists, whose “main business” is called development economics.
The development of development economics, derived from developing countries, which emerged in the late 1940s and was devoted to the study of economic phenomena in developing countries when the sovereign countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America were independent. Subject.
Simply, it is to specifically study the development problems of backward countries and people, and try to find solutions to poverty problems. These three awards are based on their poverty in human poverty. Outstanding contribution.
In their book, The Essentials of Poverty, they have explained in detail the “trap of poverty and how to get rid of poverty.” I think this is also the topic I want to talk about today:
People are faced with a predicament that they are temporarily unable to break through, and what attitude or approach will have a huge impact.
And such influence will push their lives to a more difficult situation to change.
The one who is eager to win, often loses the most miserable
There is a cousin in the family who was born on the tail of the 80s. I played with the children after 90s. When I was young, I didn’t feel much worse than us. Later, I found that the situation was getting worse.
This cousin didn’t like to learn very much since he was a child, but he was gambling. Every year, the family gatherings were held at the table. The shuffled cards were pushed in one go, and the smoke at hand was not broken. This is how it is. A good gambling person, but often loses the light at the table, and then has to borrow money to spend the day.
Remember that the most common sentence he said at the table was:
“This must be a win!”
However, life is often counterproductive, and there is only one pack of cigarettes left in the end of each card.Box and a lighter.
In his body, he always sees the kind of mentality that is eager to win. If the “one-win” thinking is above, the result will only make his behavior fall into a “gambling mentality”:
Bet wins and wants to win.
The gambling lost, I want to turn it over.
The final result is imaginable, that is, don’t want to take away a penny from the table.
In the past few years, I have seen many people who want to “one win”, from multi-millionaires to civilians. Many people have lost their lives in front of the gambling table of fate. After all, in the face of greed. How many people can hold?
I don’t know if you still remember, a Jin Li mobile phone that Andy Lau once endorsed, it is in 2018, this once-influenced brand, was experiencing a lot of debt.
In fact, as early as the end of 2017, Jinli Capital Chain was exploding with 10 billion foreign debts, and major dealers came to the door to pay. The outside world is also divided into different reasons, but one of the most striking ones, or the last straw that crushed the camel, its founder and chairman Liu Lirong gambling.
There were rumors that:
“Liu Lirong lost more than 10 billion in gambling. He has been to Saipan twice.
The first time I lost 2 billion. The second time, several friends who had a good personal relationship with Liu Lirong personally flew to Saipan to persuade him to look back. What they did not expect was a pile of chips on the table. The last card, a card, lost $700 million in one go.
Afterwards, he himself was rarely interviewed by the media, acknowledging that he did go to Saipan twice, but denied losing 10 billion.
So how much did you lose? The reporter asked.
He said in a very light voice: a hundred billion.
Even if this number is true, more than a billion is not a decimal, enough to make a man with a career in the middle of the world, and it’s hard to get out.
Mr. Wu Jun once wrote in “The Pattern”:
“A person who loses his or her mind once a few times, will not lose his judgment, not because his intelligence is not high enough, but because his method of judging value is completely wrong.”
This is why some people know clearly that “every gambling must lose”, but they still have no reason to gamble, because they rely on gambling to win the whole life, they have already buried their hearts so that they can not close their hands.
The hope of a reversal of life is a promising extremely unstable gaming table, which is destined to be a costly game of destiny.
In the face of such a game, people who are eager to win are often the worst.
I always think of a winner, I don’t believe in the power of accumulation
American engineering pioneer Simon Ramo once wrote an extraordinary tennis called “Ordinary Tennis Players.” In this book, Simon Ramo explained that tennis is not a game, but two games. :
A type of tennis player like Federer plays tennis with a high level of talent and skill. If you want to play, you can do whatever you want;
The other is tennis played by amateur tennis players, which is the tennis of most ordinary people.
The first tennis match is the winner’s game; the second tennis match is the loser’s game.
In the winner’s game, if you want to win, you can rely on playing a very exciting and very tricky ball, so that the opponent can’t take it. In the loser’s game, if you want to win, you should mainly avoid throwing yourself away. Ball.
In other words: “Professional tennis players score, amateur tennis players lose points.”
Amateurs can’t play the ball, sometimes even a simple ball can’t catch it, so the pursuit is to hit the ball back every time. Sooner or later, the opponent will play a bad ball, out of bounds or can not pass the net as a chance to score.
Oak Capital’s co-founder Howard Max is one of the most respected investors today, and he has extended the idea of this tennis game to investment:
“We live in an uncertain world, it is difficult to make successful investments all the time, and those who pursue great success often fail.
I came to the conclusion that for me, we have to succeed in the long-term investment, perhaps the best way is not to make mistakes, not to make the wrong investment, no bad year.
As long as you have a good investment in a single investment, as long as the performance is stable year after year, 20 years, 30 years, 40 years, 50 years, this is a successful investment career.
The fact that you don’t make mistakes is a huge test for yourself.
How to make no mistakes? The first priority is to give up a quick win of a full win.
People who are willing to stick to long-termism are out of place compared to most people who are quick to get rich and win.
Many people must talk about Buffett, but many people may not know it:
Buffett also earned 99.8% of his life after he was 50 years old.
Amazon CEO Bezos once asked Buffett:
“Your investment philosophy is very simple, why don’t you copy your approach directly?”
Buffett said: “Because no one wants to get rich slowly.”
This is full of “3 months to get rich quickly””How to graduate 2 years of annual salary of millions” “3 strokes to lose weight without rebounding” and other swearing headlines, in fact, is a human gamble.
There are always people who want to try to win if they can win. For them, they have long lost the power of accumulation.
Mr. Liu Run wrote in the article:
In this world, smart people are cursed.
Why?
Because smart people look at the road and listen to all directions. They always see more opportunities and access more resources than most people.
Therefore, they often can’t stand the temptation to constantly smash the corn, lose the watermelon, lick the sugar cane, lose the corn, smash the gourd and then lose the sugar cane, undulating between the bonus and the vent, swinging from side to side, but The last life is hard to become a big event.
In contrast, those who seem to be obscured are quietly insisting on being long-termists.
By understanding through the nature of the hole, plus day-to-day training, once you enter the game, no one can pick up the hand, so that ordinary people have no power to fight, this is the real master.
And such a master has never won everyone by a rich night.
It’s very difficult to gamble on a full win,a small win but there is still a chance
Extremely eager to get rich quickly, no interest in long-term and subtle growth, such thinking is equally common in the workplace.
Mr. Wu Jun once talked about his understanding of the choice of work unit:
A person who chooses a job should choose a company that grows up for himself, rather than thinking that a company is cool or hot or give it a little more salary.
He has seen many young people choose companies that give 20% more salary when they accept their first job. After a few years, when they meet young people, they have already left those companies. Looking for a job again.
Sometimes, it seems that a high-paying job is very good, but he can’t satisfy your dream of getting rich overnight, and there is no way for you to develop for a long time.
Similarly, it’s hard to know that it’s so hard to win a gamble. Why not try to win a partial victory?
In “Rockefeller Biography”, I talked about a story about the beginning of the oil king’s self-made, the story is not as grand as imagined, and even now there seems to be some sadness:
Rockefeller was looking for a job when he was looking for a job.A list of companies in Cleveland, USA, and then pick out the companies that they think are good, and visit one family. After he went to the door, he said straightforwardly to the other party:
“I understand accounting, I want to find a job.”
Go out at 8:00 every morning, one Saturday, and then find it for six weeks. He walked the company on his list and then started again. Some companies even went two or three times. It is conceivable that no company wants him.
Until September 26, 1855, a company engaged in agricultural trade decided to give him a chance to book it.
Soon, less than two years, in 1857, Rockefeller became a partner in the trading company.
How did he do it?
In fact, there are no amazing amazing secrets.
It’s hard work, resilience, and doing things about the company as your own.
Rockefeller started working at 6:30 every morning, bought lunch at the office at noon, and got off work late at night. In the diary, he set himself a rule, saying that it was to prevent the work from being too late, and asked him to stay in the office for ten days in a row for ten days.
When he collects money for the company, he sits at the door of the other office or next to the carriage, waiting patiently until the other party takes the money out.
He wants to make sure that every account is very reasonable, and there are no mistakes. Sometimes even the boss thinks that some small mistakes are nothing, but he insists on correcting them.
A year later, in 1858, Rockefeller started his own business, established a trading company with a partnership, and began to own his own company.
A lot of times, when we see successful people and businesses, we are envious of our willingness to learn,
But what we often want to learn is the result of his success, not the process of his success, which is often hidden in the subtleties that we ignore or even look down upon.
Like Rockefeller, who was the first to be poor and white, he continued to learn through uninterrupted fragmentation time, accumulating a slight advantage every day, and finally accumulating as a barrier to competition and achieving his own business empire.
It’s very difficult to gamble on a full win, but there is still a chance to win a small win. Since there is such an opportunity, why not try it?
Winning and losing is impermanent,If you want to retreat, you will make progress
