Features: Life is a struggle against death with the use of life, in exchange for the time of a lifetime. Some fight for ideals and happiness with hardship, hope, and perseverance; some fight for success and fame with conscience, morality, and justice; some fight for the future with youth, beauty, and tomorrow. In the game of life, from youth to old age, God has prepared the same number of chips for each of us—10 gold coins! From innocence to youth, God has tossed out 3 gold coins: ideals, personality, and mindset—these are the cornerstones of life. During this growth process, there are parental teachings and the nurturing of good teachers, which help you establish lofty aspirations, develop a strong will, and cultivate a positive mindset. Many people achieve success in their youth—Galileo became famous at 19, Boyle made significant achievements at 13, Kangxi defeated Ao Ba at 14, and Bill Gates became a global fortune at 25.
Perhaps you haven’t been favored by fate, facing hardships in your youth, but never complain about the heavens, because God will give you even greater hope. From youth to middle age, you will possess 5 gold coins: actions, abilities, careers, family love, and friends. This is a critical stage in life. Here, you strive and fight, with the warmth of friends and family, enduring hardships without giving up, and achieving success without arrogance—Liu Bang wandered east and west to become a hegemon; Li Shimin worked diligently to open a new era; Xuanzang overcame 81 trials to achieve enlightenment; Liu Yuhao and Li Ka-shing weathered storms in business and climbed to the peak of wealth.
Perhaps fate plays a trick on you, and you miss the first 8 gold coins. But God hasn’t abandoned you; He still leaves you 2 gold coins—health and wisdom—in your prime and old age. These can still change your life, allowing you to achieve success later in life—Jiang Taigong met King Wen at the age of 80; Lincoln was elected President of the United States at 51.
In this life-and-death struggle, if you grasp 9 or 10 gold coins, congratulations—you have a perfect life, a special favor from fate. If you grasp 7 or 8, you have an outstanding life. If you grasp 3 to 5, you still have a successful life. If you only grasp 1 or 2, you don’t need to envy others, because even with just 1 gold coin, you can change your destiny. But no matter what, you must grasp at least 1. With just 1, you won’t regret walking this earth! Otherwise, you will leave this mortal world with sorrow and regret.
This book tells you through a series of profound and exquisite small stories that success isn’t as difficult as you imagine. As long as you work hard and seize the chips of your life—10 gold coins—you will be able to win everything you desire in this life-and-death struggle!
