Capable people often quietly achieve great things, suddenly getting married, getting promoted, or becoming wealthy, leaving everyone astonished. They won't open up to others about their inner thoughts, making people mistakenly believe this is sincerity. Some people start showing off before the matter even gets underway, or they pop champagne halfway through, only to end up as a joke. What can be seen are all results; the process is silently worked on in the dark. Putting away useless desires for venting and expressing oneself, the feeling of working hard in secret is the most wonderful, especially after tasting success. When no one knows what you are doing, life becomes more beautiful; this is not superstition but the inevitable law of development of things.
The secret to making money is to ignore the suffering of others, to see and hear nothing. There are too many urgent matters in this world, and the poor worry everywhere like a secretary-general. The rich do not care about anything that is not their own business. Even the closest people are only given a brief mention. Don't worry about others; only change yourself and focus on your own matters. The rich remain unchanged in their principles; the poor remain unchanged in their virtues. Human nature has not changed for thousands of years.
