Features: "I would like to remind readers that whether your soul is soaring romantically above the polar regions or struggling to explore the black holes of the mortal world, you should always remember: wisdom, prudence, and careful self-restraint are the sources of wisdom and happiness." "Today, when it comes to money, people encounter many absurd claims and practices. Mr. Smiles, with his rich life experience and unique perspective, provides us with valuable insights and examples. This may help us optimize our choices and behavioral patterns in this field." Among all specific issues, there is no issue more urgent than the financial problems pressing upon us and the property issues represented by money. Because money or property, as we say, represents our personal possessions and the rich variety of life goods produced by humanity; they represent food, clothing, houses, furniture, and the minerals and factory products that make up our general material life. We have entered a world filled with material possessions. In this world, the variety of products is becoming increasingly abundant, to the point where we have lost the wisdom to handle them properly and the moral capacity to bear them. As a result, these material products threaten to suffocate us with their abundance and become tools of great destruction. The question now is to discover the secrets of controlling and guiding these material wealths so that they no longer serve as tools for human degeneration and death.
