Features: Why aren't you rich? Why aren't you rich? Why aren't you rich? When you ask yourself three times in a row, does a desire to change your fate stir within you?! Do you want to be a "rich wolf" who climbs out of the pile of poor people? Afraid you can't do it?! Don't retreat, don't hesitate, because there are no poor minds that cannot be changed, but there are no poor pockets that cannot be changed!
Back then, to balance the tense relationship between wolves and sheep and to demonstrate the boundless benevolence of heaven, a group of wolf souls were placed into sheep fetuses, allowing wolves to experience the weakness, helplessness, and suffering of being a sheep. However, these "wolves in sheep's clothing" refused to be content among the sheep. Their wolfish nature remained undiminished, and they were not infected by the plague that had spread through the flock. They struggled and strove, using their wolfish wilderness and fighting spirit, their wisdom and strength, and ultimately broke free from the flock, climbing out of the sheep pen.
The rich are those who, like the wolves, were placed into the sheep pen but never lost their "wolfish ambition" and ultimately climbed out of the flock. Here is a story. This entrepreneur grew up poor, with nothing but bare walls at home. The three brothers had only one set of clothes to share each season. During the day, sweat would soak through them, and at night, they would take them off to wash and dry them over a fire before wearing them again the next morning. His two older brothers, already in their thirties, still couldn't find wives and walked listlessly. The neighbors naturally looked down on them and sometimes mocked them.
When it was time to harvest the late rice, he went to a neighbor's house to borrow a wheelbarrow. But the neighbor scolded him: "How poor can you be that you can't even afford a wheelbarrow? What's the point of even being a person?" These words nearly crushed him. He didn't get the wheelbarrow, nor could he afford one. After the late rice was harvested, he insisted on leaving home and going south to work. His only wish was to earn enough money to buy a wheelbarrow and enough cloth for his family.
After arriving in the south, he quickly earned that money. But then he wanted to have beautiful furniture like his neighbor's. So, he worked for a few more years. By then, he had enough money to buy a set of beautiful furniture. But he had a new desire—he wanted to build a brick house like his neighbor's and own a bicycle like his neighbor's.
