The Jewish people have suffered a lot. During the 2-year escape, their homes were destroyed, their temples collapsed, and the land where their ancestors' bones were buried was abandoned. No country can protect them, and there is not even a trace of glory for them to look back. It can be said that the Jews survived tenaciously and persistently after suffering humiliation. They can survive and become the most profitable nation, mainly because of their mentality! With their own perseverance, they kept winning in hardships and kept putting wealth into their pockets.
1. Living is to enjoy
Once upon a time, an old Jewish man sat on a rock and fished every day. But what makes people feel strange is that no matter how lucky he is, he will put away his fishing rod as soon as he reaches two hours.
One day, a young angler became curious about the behavior of the old man.
He asked the old man, "When you are lucky, why don't you go fishing all day?" In this way, you can return home with a full load! "
"What do you catch so many fish for?" The old man asked flatly.
"You can sell it!" At this time, the young angler felt that the old man really didn't know how to enjoy life.
"What is the money used for?" The old man still asked flatly.
Young anglers can't wait to say, "You can buy a net, catch more fish and sell more money." .
"Why sell so much money?" The old man still has an indifferent attitude.
"Buy a fishing boat, go out to sea, catch more fish and earn more money." Young anglers think it necessary to make a plan for the old man.
"What will you do when you earn money?" The old man still showed his indifference.
"Organize a fleet and earn more money." The young angler laughed from the inside that the old man was a very stupid man.
"What if you earn more money?" The old man is ready to close the pole.
"Start an ocean-going company, not only to fish, but also to transport goods, and make more money by going to and from major ports in the world." The young man described it cheerfully.
"Why do you earn more money?" Obviously, the old man's words smacked of mocking the young.
At this time, the young angler was deeply angered by the old man's words. I didn't expect the old man to play the fool on purpose. "To enjoy life, of course!"
The old man smiled: "I fish for two hours every day. For the rest of the time, I can watch the sunrise, watch the sunset, plant all kinds of flowers and vegetables, meet my friends and relatives, and relax. I am already enjoying my life." While speaking, the old man has packed his bags and left.
Yes, people come into this world to enjoy, not to suffer. Enjoying life is the only purpose of people, and it is also the most important point that Jews have always paid attention to. Therefore, they always look at life with a leisurely attitude, and they are open to everything, let go, and have no worries, thus reaching a fascinating realm of life.
If you ask a Jew, "What is the purpose of life?"
They will definitely answer: "The purpose of life is nothing more than eating delicious food as you like!" This seems to be beyond our expectation. I didn't expect that "eating" would be the purpose of Jewish life.
If you ask them further, "So, why do people work?" Jews will tell you without hesitation: "Man works to eat! Not to store energy! " The answer of the Jews always surprises us. They simply boil down such a diverse and difficult topic to a word "eat", which makes people sound ridiculous and funny, but only in this way can they find the joy of life and the true meaning of life.
Jews often don't put unpleasant things on the table, because they know that unpleasant things will affect the pleasant atmosphere when eating, so they can't fully enjoy delicious food. Most Jews are knowledgeable people, and entertainment, art, places of interest, animals, plants, and anecdotes about the world can be included in the discussion from the daily conversation. However, the topics about * *, war and religious persecution are never discussed, because these topics often cause arguments and destroy the happy and harmonious dining atmosphere. Also, the topic of obscenity is also avoided. When eating, Jews try to relax their mood and savor the taste of delicious food, so that they can enjoy the fun of life and forget all their troubles.
In order to "eat" well, they will make money desperately, so four words will appear around them in their minds: "Make money for eating". "Without money, how can you eat well? How can you enjoy the joy of life? " This is the answer given to us by the Jews. We asked the Japanese the same question, but the Japanese gave us a completely different answer: "We eat to store our strength and work better."
Jews have calculated this account: "If a person works eight hours a day without rest, he can earn 4 dollars a day, and in that case, my life span will be shortened by five years. Based on the annual income of 12, dollars, I will lose 6, dollars in five years. And if I take an hour off every day, I will get the money I earned by working seven hours a day for five years, in addition to losing $5 a day for one hour. Now that I am 6 years old, assuming that I can live for another 1 years if I rest on time, I will lose $15,. Who is bigger than 15, and 6,? " Therefore, the smart mind and good mentality of the Jews have to make us gasp in admiration and admit defeat from the bottom of our hearts.
Thousands of years ago, Jews were cosmopolitan and suffered from persecution and abuse many times. Fortunately, they believed themselves to be God's chosen people, and held the economic power of the world's commercial and financial circles as a weapon, which made people all over the world look back on them. Therefore, the ideal moment for Jews to show off their abundant financial resources is at a luxurious dinner. In order to show the highest respect and great friendship to friends, Jews will definitely invite guests to a rich dinner after the transaction is completed. Dining places can be at home, but more high-end luxury restaurants are chosen. A rich dinner, in addition to the purpose of enjoying life, has a more important significance, that is, it symbolizes the Jewish domination over the financial sector. It can be said that the Jewish nation knows how to enjoy life perfectly. They take "eating" as their goal in life. Three meals a day are very important to them, and dinner is the most important meal among them.
Jews have often heard their parents say to themselves since they were young: the joy of life is almost completely concentrated on the dinner table, and you can never finish all the flavors in five or ten minutes, so Jews spend at least two hours on dinner. They racked their brains and tried every means to spend the hard-earned large sum of money on a sumptuous dinner, so as to enjoy the fun and the true meaning of life.
However, Jews not only attach great importance to "eating", but also pay attention to spiritual civilization: they will open Viennese-style "coffee houses" and turn zhoushan road into a "gossip lane".
Some people visited some old people sitting in the sun at the door on the road. According to their memories, Jewish refugees are very smart, not only making money, but also enjoying life. In 1938, many places in Hongkou were in ruins, and almost no one was seen there. The vast majority of refugees still stay in Hongkou. They have opened hundreds of shops, including grocery stores, pharmacies, bakeries, locksmiths' shops, barbershops, tailors' shops, shoe repair shops and milliner's shops. Some enterprising people even set up small factories, and many products sell well in China. In 1941, the Tilanqiao area, where Jews lived in concentrated communities, saw a prosperous business situation. As a result, zhoushan road became a commercial center. Within a short distance of two or three hundred meters from Tangshan Road to Huoshan Road, there were many shops along the street, which was very lively and prosperous.
As time goes by, many refugees are gradually assimilated by the local culture, but they try their best to keep their way of life originated in central Europe. For refugees, the main reason why they can endure hard life is that there are more recreational activities here. Jews built many restaurants and Viennese-style "coffee houses" in Hongkou, where people chatted, and the development of the war was the focus of discussion. At that time, zhoushan road was famous for "getting through the grapevine". Musicians among the refugees founded wind bands and orchestras, and several singers even formed an operetta group and staged some very successful operettas. There are bridge clubs and even nightclubs everywhere. Because there is not enough food, the hostess often only provides boiled water, so the guests will bring some coffee (or substitutes), tea, sugar or saccharin.
Jews believe that the biggest purpose of making money is to make your life happier, but don't look at life because of making money, because it is a very uneconomical transaction, which will make you lose many good things in life.
one day on Saturday, American businessman John? Babson went to Israel by special plane to attend a business negotiation. He suffered from traffic jam when he set out, but when he arrived here, the phenomenon of unimpeded traffic and few cars made him curious. So he asked his partner, Jewish businessman Xie Wenli, "Why are there so few cars in your capital?"
"you don't know something." Xie Wenli explained, "We Jews are forbidden to drink, smoke and abstain from sex from every Friday night until Saturday evening, leaving all other thoughts behind. Many people stay at home and sincerely pray and rest to God. Therefore, there are fewer cars in the street than before. It's our real weekend from Saturday night, and that's when we enjoy ourselves. "
"You Jews really know how to enjoy and rest." Babson said enviously.
"Because we know that only by having a healthy body can we enjoy a happy life. Health is our most profitable capital. If you want to have a healthy body, you must eat, drink, sleep and play well. Although we Jews have been dying for more than 2, years, and have been wandering around the world, they have been subjected to inhuman persecution and discrimination, but they have not become extinct because of this, which is inseparable from our emphasis on self-cultivation. " Xie Wenli said flatly.
In the eyes of the Jews, since people came into this world, they should enjoy the fun of life to the fullest, and should not rush through life for the little things in life.
There is a Jew living in Chicago. He is over 7 years old, but he still wants to buy a luxurious apartment. So some people feel very strange and ask him, "You are so old, and you only have a few years to live. Why do you need such a big house?"
The Jew asked, "Can't you enjoy it for only a few years?"
Therefore, since people live in this world, they should fully enjoy their own lives. Only in this way can life be full of meaning.
Although Jews agree that thrift is a virtue, they never approve of excessive thrift. The Talmud says, "When a rich man is afraid to spend money, he is a poor man."
If a person has a lot of money but keeps it unused, or locks their money tightly in his pocket, then this person is a very stupid person. Jews believe that even the pursuit of sacred spiritual life should not make themselves poor. Believing in God and pursuing enjoyment can be completely compared. They think that they should pursue spiritual loftiness, worldly happiness and material wealth, which is not a good phenomenon. If they just pursue spiritual life blindly and ignore material comfort, it is a foolish behavior.
Jews have high taste in life. They like luxurious residences, exquisite food and noble cars. In the eyes of Jews, only in this way can we be regarded as enjoying life.
However, in real life, many people work hard to make money, but it is puzzling that once people have money, they will become busier and unable to live a comfortable life. Many businessmen are like this. They are busy making money all day. Although they are rich, they have lost the opportunity to enjoy life.
A Jew met an old man and asked,
"How old are you?"
The old man replied, "I'm 6."
The Jews said, "Then you can enjoy it for another 1 years."
On the surface, it seems impolite for the Jew to ask an old man how old he is. But his answer told the old man that you still have 1 years left in your life, so you should enjoy the fun in these 1 years.
In this world, it seems that only Jews regard enjoyment as their goal in life. Whether it is a society, a unit, a family or a person, if you know that people come to the world to enjoy life, you will truly know how to respect people; Knowing how to love others more than yourself, and how to protect others as children, and the essential significance of family prosperity, unit prosperity and social prosperity, will make giving more dedication than taking and aggression, so as to avoid making mistakes in the country, people and people. Unfortunately, although people around us also know how to enjoy life, they only know that they enjoy life and don't understand that everyone has the right to enjoy life. Such a person is obviously a sadist and a money-eater.
making money is to have a better rest and enjoyment, and to make life more comfortable. Therefore, we should have the mentality of being Jewish. We live not to make ourselves a tired person, but to enjoy ourselves better. Even if there is only a little chance, we should enjoy ourselves happiness and happiness. Therefore, you can live a more wonderful life.
2. Business is business
In business, Jews always think that business rules must be observed. In addition, other ethical norms in daily life, such as affection, friendship, respect for the elderly and love for the young, comity, helping others, etc., must obey business rules. In business, everything is a commodity, and commodities have only one attribute, that is, adding value and generating money. Therefore, everything should be subject to this purpose.
as long as they can make money, they will do anything. As long as they can make money, they will do anything except what is illegal and what is against the contract. It is based on the concept that "business is business" that the ancestors of the Jews included such a clause in their business history: "Every time is the first time to make friends".
In business, you shouldn't trust others easily, or you will suffer unimaginable harm. Some people are prone to this problem, and they are easily influenced by "human feelings" in business. They often let go of those opportunities that can make money reasonably and pay the money they shouldn't have paid themselves. Therefore, such people are most likely to suffer from dumb losses.
"Business is business", this sentence makes Jewish businessmen get rid of many constraints of ethics and emotional barriers before conducting business operations, put down their burdens, go into battle lightly, have a wide vision, let go of their hands and feet, be handy everywhere and be invincible. However, Jewish businessmen often use some things in business operations. They don't care about anything. In their eyes, they will take them immediately only if they can make money and don't violate the law.
In business, Jews believe that there is nothing immoral, only legal and illegal. As long as the contract is reached by both parties completely voluntarily and in compliance with relevant laws and regulations, the result will be unfair.
