Old Huang shopping on the streets of Shanghai reminds me that no matter how wealthy one is, they should enjoy the humble days of life.

The Stoic philosopher Seneca once said:

"Set aside some days to be content with the simplest food, wear the coarsest clothes, and deliberately lead a frugal life."

The most comfortable state is being a great person hidden in plain sight; the life of ordinary people is the most relaxed and free.

Most people are actually not pursuing wealth itself, but the illusion of wealth.

They only need others to think they are rich, and it seems they have achieved their goal.

Simple clothing, ordinary meals, and mediocre streets; if you don't feel uncomfortable, you can freely create truly valuable things.

This is a great "poor mindset." No matter how much wealth you have, you should learn to act poor.

Do not show off, do not deliberately portray yourself as living well, and do not worry about your image.

Just focus on the most important things for yourself, whether it's writing a book, starting a business, managing a large company, or making investments.

An ordinary life can bring tremendous advantages: inner peace, indifference to others' opinions, and focus on the important things at hand.

We live in a world obsessed with showiness. How to seem smart, how to appear wealthy, how to showcase status.

Few people care about the true secrets of accumulating wealth:

patience, self-discipline, repetition, saving, and hard work.

If you can walk into a room and not care whether others think you are successful, you are free.
